Pick your tool of destruction and go kill something!
Graphics, alright so when you first get into Borderlands you'll notice the graphics. It's really a unique graphic style that grows on you as "Borderland style" the more you play. Sure it doesn't look realistic but I personally love the graphics because I am a fan of anime. One of the downsides however, is that the game occasionally freezes. I guess you could say that has more to do with functionality than graphics but whatever. Aside from the rare freezing (only happened to me three times so far) this game has pretty solid graphics.
Gameplay, umm wow, that's all I can say really lol. The guns on this game are insane. There are soo many guns and if you play with a friend you find even better weapons. If you're a gun nut then this game is for you. I've honestly never had this much fun running around killing stuff before. I guess you could say story is a little light and it can be a pain running all over for quests, but the gunplay more than makes up for it. Also the character skills are a blast to use and when you start adding elemental damage to your skills and weapons it gets that much better. My one glaring issue is the co-op. Co-op is soo much fun but they really made the menu system a pain to use during co-op. Apart from the poor co-op menu design, the gameplay is fantastic.
Overall this is one of the craziest games I have ever played, in a good way of course. While it does have its flaws, it is definately a game that shouldn't be missed. So what are you waiting for? Grab twenty bucks, maybe a friend or two, and go crazy with more guns than you could ever imagine.
