An overhyped, overblown mess of a game
When I was playing Borderlands I really just could not help but notice the enormous amount of wasted potential that was simply everywhere in the game. You are able to conjure up an all-terrain vehicle to help you get around Pandora, for example, but why stop there?
NOTE: I am reviewing only the single-player portion of this game, as I never exposed myself to co-op multiplayer; If you must take the following review with a grain of salt as a result, awesome, because you should probably be doing that anyway
I'll tackle one of my more minor complaints first: the game's story is pathetically lacking; What's most annoying about this is that it has every opportunity to be thoughtful, engaging, and memorable; It is none of these things.
