Borderlands has me, and it will have you at first trigger pull. I admit that I am addicted and will play it forever.
Picture this, Unlimited upgrading capacity, endless weapons to choose from, gore fest 10,001 , a great soundtrack coupled with great controls, an intelligent Ai that will follow you, take cover, pursue you more when your health is low, now what do you see? BORDERLANDS! This Game is a game for any style, it gives us snipers great vantage points if your smart enough to look for them to snipe from, and if your a shot gun fool like me again, you can run straight out into the middle of the crowd, and get right up in their grill and blow their body to pieces.
There are really so many styles of combat that it would be impossible to list them all in one sitting, needless to say it is well worth checking them out.
The special abilities that the playable characters have are insane and a lot of fun to mess around with and even more if you can kill those fools with them. Every time I load my saved game I can't help but think how awesome this game would be if it was a MMRPS, but it still is pretty wicked.
You have an awesome vehicle at your disposal which makes traveling from one mission to the next a lot easier, and I have to be honest the mounted rocket launcher comes in mighty handy as well. The controls from the vehicle is precisely like the warthog in Halo 3.
The main storyline is great, and the bosses slightly unnerving in their sheer scope. This may be the first RPS who utilizes the jump feature actively and could actually be the difference between life and death. (Against creatures who don't have guns mind you.) Here's an interesting fact this is the first new release I have ever purchased save halo 3 that I do not regret in the least.
So overall synopsis, graphics= AWESOME
Sound= groovy
Control= amazing
summary= best game since Halo 3
