Walking into Borderlands, I was unsure what to expect from the game.  From its onset, it had been plagued with comparisons to Fallout 3 or Diablo (including from yours truly), leading to the distinct possibility …

Liked the game. A little slow and repetitive but after awhile that kinda grew on me. Once you level up to get better weapons makes the game a little more fun. If you play mostly upper end graphics you may have a bit of a hard time getting used to the cartoon like story board they use.
