Borderlands combines two of the greatest game types ever to create a revolution.
There are four different people you can choose to play as, and depending on how you like to play games, that'll influence your choice. For example, if you like to run in and kick ass, you'll like the berserker. Or if you like to sneak up and attack enemies from behind, you'll enjoy the siren. Also, the multiplayer is incredible. When you're playing with friends the monsters and enemies become much more difficult, but it provides a good challenge for you and your friends, which is very entertaining - especially if each your friends is a different character.
The only thing that could cause a problem is that the game isn't quite as fun when your by yourself and the story behind the game is very boring and unimaginative. Also, the ending is kind of depressing and lacking.
So, Borderlands is a great game that have some great qualties. If you love FPS or you love RPG,or even if you love cartoony graphics. You'll love it.
