With the recent release of the new Borderlands game,
The Pre-sequel, I’ve decided to have a shot at the original 2009 game. Not to
be confused with the southern region of Scotland that shares a similar name
(The Borders), the game drops you on a desert planet called Pandora.
After
selecting one of four characters, who all specialise in different weaponry, you
then must begin your search for a mythical alien bunker called The Vault.
If you’re after a story driven game then you’re best
looking elsewhere as that is pretty much the extent of it in Borderlands. You
have to do certain missions and speak to certain people to move the story a
long but they do not say much and there is definitely no complicated subplots
going on in this desert.
Borderlands is a first person shooter and if you’re
into the genre this will be right up your street. I found it was very enjoyable
to play with friends as a team shooter. However, while Borderlands has a wide range of
missions for you to play besides the main story, they are all very samey. As a
result the game can be very repetitive at times.
But it has some nice cartoony graphics and the music
is good, and so are the controls. This is a good one to play with friends
rather than go it alone.
Borderlands gets 7/10.
