Developed by Gearbox Software, out on XBOX 360,
PS3, and PC, Borderlands is a game packed with action and something for
everybody. Borderlands has received many good ratings, a 8.8 out of 10 from
IGN.com, and has even been compared to a great game that came out a few
years back, Blizzard’s Diablo. Being a action RPG game, this game is loaded
with blood and gore, which explains its Rating M for mature.
Gamers are thrown in a world of thievery and treasure
hunting with rusty guns, deciding from 4 different classes with very
different abilities and stats. Choose from a heavy hard to kill guy or just
be your average stay back and shoot type. Gearbox has done a good job of
incorporating plenty of quests to do and mixing in vehicular combat along
with melee combat. So with all these different ways to smash and have fun,
you never get bored.
Many people have argued that Gearbox should have
included more abilities to the classes, but most people get past that and
realize that the game is more about getting large guns, or guns that shoot
fire!
I give this game a 9.5. This game has yet to fail me
and I haven’t once thought to put down the controller while playing
Borderlands. Yes, I do not like the fact that the classes only get one
special ability but I quickly got over that when I got my lightning shotgun.
Big thumbs up for Gearbox’s Borderlands!
