While I'm still not a huge fan of the graphical style there isn't anything particularly wrong with it. In all honesty it is more lively than Fallout 3. I think the gameplay is a combination of XIII and Stalker: Shadows of Chernobyl only with more guns. The amount of guns is pretty sickening. I have already got 6-8 hours in with a Soldier, my friend has a Hunter he just started on my console and I am considering a Berserker. Very fun and addicting gameplay, I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of:

- Fallout 3

- XIII

- Stalker: Shadows of Chernobyl

- Deus Ex

It is pretty incredible. I'm about three hours into the Xbox 360 version, and have loved every minute of it. Also, it has one of the best openings of all time.

How much is it like fallout 3? because if it is molded after it, or takes a lot of elements from it then i won't pick this one up.

Congrats to Gearbox on this one. They finally have an original IP that is all their own & nobody can take it from them. I hope the game does well for them. I'll decide on a purchase soon.

What about Brothers in Arms? That's been a Gearbox series since the beginning.

its an incredible game in my book tons of fun and addictive as hell. it looks incredible too. its not at all like fallout three the combat way more intense and far more realistic your aim actually matters, and loot is just so much fun to gather. i said this in another thread but its like cod4 and WOW had a baby, and only there good elements were passed down lol.

Hmmm, I'm considering it. I need to hear more personal opinions from close friends before I bite the bullet.

Are there towns that you have to visit or anything? or is it all taken place in the same area?

I picked up my copy of Borderlands this morning, I'm loving it. I don't like it as much as Fallout but it's still an amazing game. It has two huge up sides over Fallout though, insane weapon options and no crashing. Has anyone tried the online yet?
