Great game for a great price
5Borderlands takes you back to the old-school loot-em-up style of gaming, but polishes over it with a great cel-shaded style and gritty shoot-em-up gameplay. The Game of the Year edition features 4 bits of DLC, all of which are distinctive and add extra levelling, areas and, of course, guns to the game. This game is best enjoyed with up to 3 other people online or - my personal favourite - in split-screen mode with someone in the room with you. This game is huge in scale and feels like an old-school adventurous RPG. At this price, and with all this content, it's a steal.

5Borderlands is an awesome game with a very huge environment to explore and shoot things. The DLCs are as good as the main game, and a must-have for every Borderlands lover.

Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition
4Is Borderlands a FPS? Is it an RPG? The answer is: YES to both questions. It takes the best of both worlds and adds its own style to it. The playability is great, the only negative about it might be the in-game menus which may confuse you with the tons of options and variety you find in the game. The aesthetic is wonderful, there are a few glitches in this subject, e.g., the shadows and some rendering textures, but the overall is a wonderful visual experience. The AI is not the best you might find around, but that's not a big issue. I recommend this game if you loved looting items in beloved Diablo, if you enjoyed playing Co-op in Left 4 dead and if you liked the graphics of Team Fortress/Zelda: the Wind Waker. I haven't tried the DLCs included in this Game Of The Year Edition, but they seemed to include more variety to the game.

5Borderlands is one of the best games I have ever played on Playstation 3. It has revolutionary gameplay, lots of weapons, and superb visual effects.

"Ain't no rest for the wicked"
5Borderlands is a freak. This is a very good thing. By freak, I refer to the genre-bending of a first-person shooter crossed with a role-playing game. Borderlands is probably the most underrated game of the current generation of games. It was a sleeper hit back in 2009 and the frenetic, cartoon carnage deserves all of the recognition it gets. The game takes place on the desolate planet of Pandora (trust me, it is nothing like the Avatar homeworld). Four characters hear rumours of unfathomable treasure deep within a vault on Pandora; a vault that only opens every 200 years. The Vault is about to open....but what is truly inside? Each of the four characters (Roland the Solider, Lilith the Siren, Brick the Berserker and Mordecai the Hunter) have their own unique abilities and play very differently from each other. Thankfully, although each character specialises in different weaponry, you can use whatever weapons you want - you just may not have the abilities to improve them as much. The supporting cast are charming, especially Claptrap the friendly yet annoying robot, and Scooter the inbred owner of the catch-a-ride travel system. Of course, though, the true star of the show is the gameplay. Mass gunfights feel like both a guns blazing, FPS warzone and a tactical RPG battle. The cel-shaded graphics give a wonderful artsy stylisation to the guns and enemies, replacing the turgid, brown/black mercs from most FPS snore-fests. The Psycho (see the game cover) is a particular highlight, often setting himself on fire and launching himself towards you. The statistical aspect is also very addictive collecting guns, comparing their stats and making choices between range, power, and speed (and thats just for starters there are elemental weapons too) is like a game within itself and promotes the feeling of one more go in order to find a better weapon. The guns number is in the gajillions (their words, not mine), the humour is great, and the RPG elements of skill trees, loot collecting, etc. are insanely addictive. I was genuinely disheartened when reaching the maximum rank and completing the 20-30 hour game. It just wasnt enough. Cue the amazing Game of the Year edition, with not one, but four DLC packs. Adding a good few hours each, each DLC pack was lauded on release as brilliant additions to the main game. Although the DLC packs are all available on the Playsation Store (or Xbox Live if you use a 360 Marketplace), until recently, each pack was around £8 but the Game of the Year edition provides the original game and all 4 DLC packs for a ridiculously low price. Borderlands is pretty, violent, addictive, magnetising, and most importantly, a bargain. With the sequel out in September, you owe it to yourself to own this. Buy it now, thank me later. CATCH-A-RIDE!

A coop frenzy
5This is game is really amazing! Imagine Diablo in 1st person with a bit of the wild west. Bazilion of guns, quests and one of the best coops out there. GOTY version includes all DLCs and for it's current price, it is one of the best games out there. 5/5
