Borderlands!

4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100

I'm probably going to end up keeping this review short, Borderlands was an awesome game while it lasted, I spent 20 hours going through the game on my first play-through enjoying everything, all the environments, quests, enemies, weapons, etc. When I beat it the first time I was kinda pissed at the ending, where's the vault?, 100 $$$ is all I get for killing that huge easy monster?, that's bullcrap. So then I loaded up play-through #2, beat that in 10 - 15 hours, so in total I now have 35 hours of gameplay, this was over a week of playing Borderlands too.
 
Story: I give it a seven, I never really got hooked, felt lost and confused about what was going on a lot of the time, etc.
 
Multiplayer: I'll give it an eight, Fun to player the story with friends, there's not much else to multiplayer, sure you could duel but from my experience as a Siren I can 1 hit anything instantly so there's no point in even trying to duel people.
 
Overall I'd give this game a 3.5 rating, it's good, but it's not great, there are other games I could have spent the money on and got a lot of hours out of, like Modern Warfare 2 for the Xbox 360 or Team Fortress 2 for the PC.
