From the Box Review: Borderlands
June 23rd, 2010Alright, this is going to be a shorter review, partially because I didn’t play all that much of the game, and secondly because most of my opinion of the gameplay went into my most recent Design Musings post.
So we’ve covered (pardon the pun) the cover-shooter gameplay.
The art style. I like it. Nice job. Looks like a dried out Roger Dean painting, and if I compare a landscape to a Roger Dean painting, that means I like it. I like the character designs and the overall aesthetic of the game. It’s got charm.
The overall structure of the game is very transparent. It feels like an MMORPG, but instead of “go here and kill X enemies,” it’s “Go here and kill everyone/get a thing/kill a guy, and probably everyone working for the guy.” Or sometimes it is “go here and kill X enemies”. Quests take you to level appropriate zones.
Personally, I wanted to like the game, but didn’t find it all that great. Other than the art style, it’s pretty standard. Combination of cover-based shooting with standard MMO mission structure.
I’ll probably keep it on hand for when friends come over, as I get the feeling it’s more fun in co-op.
I seem to be getting a fairly solid stream of big-budget, well-known mainstream titles (other than King-Kong, which was less popular). I hope the next one is something more obscure.
Stumble it!

One thing is that when you are searching for a education loan you may find that you’ll need a co-signer. There are many scenarios where this is correct because you may find that you do not possess a past credit history so the lender will require you have someone cosign the credit for you. Interesting post. krediti</a

Thanks for discussing your ideas. Something is that pupils have a choice between federal student loan as well as a private student loan where it truly is easier to go with student loan debt consolidation reduction than through the federal education loan. krediti</a

One other issue is that if you are in a circumstance where you would not have a co-signer then you may really want to try to wear out all of your financial aid options. You’ll find many grants and other grants that will supply you with funding to help you with school expenses. Thanks a lot for the post. krediti</a
