Great fun with friends or without!

The Good: Fun co-op combat, many many gun options, fun classes, good humor.

The Bad: The quests could have been a little more involved, lacking a competitive multiplayer.


When first got this game I had no idea what to expect. After about a week I really started to love this game and it got even better when my friends bought it. Basically you and your three friends are mercenaries(the options are: soldier, hunter, siren, and berserker) in search of a hidden treasure known as "The Vault." The process of getting to the vault is to help out the local of Pandora (nothing to do with Avatar) which just another way of saying kill all the bad guys. This system of killing the bandits, taking their money and guns, selling them, buying more guns, and doing it again is ridiculously fun and is a great way to see time fly. The humor in the game also helps and so does the, "Bazillions of guns" the game has to offer. One thing I personally thought was the best was the talents system. Its nothing like the World of Warcraft talent tree but, its really nice to customize your character for damage, for supporting other players, or for focusing on your class's special ability.

One thing I would have really liked in a game like this is a multiplayer. Yes, online co-op can and will take up most of your time but testing your skills against the world is a whole lot of fun as well. there are arenas for you and your friends to go 2v2 or free-for-all but its nothing to a 16 player deathmatch.

This game is diffidently worth getting! Its got a good story, great characters, great gameplay and A LOT of things to shoot (and I mean A LOT!!!!!!!!!). I would definitely recommended this to anybody looking to blow sh*t up!

There even a inter-planetary ninja-assassin! (You understand what I mean when you beat the game)
