Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, and Warcraft had a baby, and what a brilliant and noble child it has grown up to be!

The art style is great and fits the environment quite well. Borderlands runs very solid and there is never any slow down, even during the largest of fire fights. Everything from the weapons to little decorative rocks and static props are very well detailed, really immersing you in the world.
There are some weird issues with AI running through walls and getting stuck, but there never was a time that it stopped me from killing them and continuing the story.
I love the combat system and how you can really feel your character grow stronger and more efficient as you invest time into them. If you liked any of the games i mentioned in the review deck, and or Diablo, Warcraft, or Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, you will LOVE this experience.
