Product Description
A sci-fi/action RPG from acclaimed developer Gearbox, Borderlands combines the best in first-person shooter (FPS) action gaming with elements of a traditional role-playing game (RPG). The excitement of this hybridization is further magnified by the game's groundbreaking content generation system which allows for a near-endless variety in missions, environments, enemies, weapons, item drops and character customization, making the game's single player, multiplayer and online campaigns not to be missed. This special Game of the Year edition takes the action even further with the inclusion of all four of the downloadable content releases for the game, as well as a fold-out map of all the Borderlands Pandoran territories.
- Co-op Design - Borderlands is built from the ground up to be an exciting, intuitive cooperative experience for up to four players simultaneously that rewards players who work together and invest in co-op skills. Split screen is also supported.
- FPS Gameplay - In this role-playing shooter, choose one of several distinct characters, each with their own individual skill sets. As your character grows throughout this fast-paced FPS, you choose and customize your abilities to suit your style of play.
- Art Style - The game's distinctive art style combines traditional rendering techniques with hand-drawn textures to paint a bold and eye-catching spin on the FPS genre.
- Vehicular Combat - Jump behind the wheel and engage in high-speed vehicle-to-vehicle combat, complete with spectacular explosions and road-killed Skags.
- Frontier Planet - Search the wasteland planet of Pandora for the legendary alien vault. Fight your way through bandits, discover nine native (and aggressive) creatures, and help the few settlers on the planet in your search for a Vault

The DLC add-on content, which is really the only reason to buy this version of the game, is NOT included on the disc. Please note: You get a 1 time download of the content, then the codes become invalid! If your computer crashes, you have install problems, want to install on a different computer, or for any reason at all you need to re-install the DLC content, you're out of luck! I quote "These codes will become invalid after use...A new code cannot be provided, nor can data be guaranteed or restored in the event of a failed unlock or the loss of data due to a hardware malfunction." Nice job Gearbox & 2k Games...I'm certainly not going to be paying money for any of your products in the future... 87 of 101 people found the following review helpful: VERY deceptive, = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Borderlands Game of the Year (DVD-ROM) First off, the game Borderlands is an amazing game, very worth of purchase. This review is rating the PRODUCT, not the game. The product says that it includes all 4 DLC (Downloadable Content) packs. This couldn't be further from the truth. Instead of actually including the software on the disc, like the Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot & The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned add-on pack, it instead gives you a link and a code to gearbox's website, where it wants you to individually download all 4 of the DLCs (weighing in at approximately 1.5 to 2 GB per DLC, in .ZIP format). Now typically, I wouldn't be too bothered with this, aside from having to wait about an hour or so for EACH DLC to download. However, I'm a service member deployed in Afghanistan. Given our already shoddy internet, it would take no less than 9 HOURS per DLC, and that's assuming it will even download properly (I'm on try #3 with The Secret Armory of General Knoxx right now, 10...

Ever since the infamous BioShock, where the draconian and potentially illegal DRM scheme made more noise than the game itself, this game publisher never wavered from its anti-customer attitude and there-is-a-sucker-born-ever-minute scheming mentality. I should had known better. The only reason I bought this game was because I found it at a basement-bargain price. So, yes, 2K GAMES did manage to get some of my money for a while but I vow it will be the very last time. Please read on. My copy was of the 2-DVD version so I did not have to download ...9GB for the 1.4 Patch and the DLCs. However, my horror story was only beginning. After about 25min of installing, the game failed to authenticate so the installation rolled back. Apparently this was not a unique problem with my copy but a... Read more |
