Video Game Review: Boarderlands

     Boarderlands is a video game for the Xbox 360 and PS3 gaming system. It was developed by gearbox software and published thought 2k games. The game mixes strong shooter elements, with some RPG elements. The characters you choose are specialized in different skills, such as, a soldier with a turret, a sniper with a hawk like bird, a siren who fights like wonder woman, and a ultrapowerfull strong man.

     In my first play through I played as the soldier. His special skill is a torrent. Like all the other characters you can upgrade his torrent with a skill tree. This lets you decide which fighting style you want to take you character in. I  chose the brute force stlyle. 

     I love this game a lot. The graphics are very interesting and are reminiscent of comic books. The people of the game all have different personalities, and they keep you laughing through the whole game. The amount of possible weapons available are just ridicoulus. The story took me around 40+ hours to beat, and it gives you the option to play though again with everything you earned. The second play though makes all of the previous enemies even harder, and gives you better loot. 

     I have only played the co-op a little bit, but what I have learned is, that it would of been funner to do it since the beginning. Playing co-op makes the enemies even harder, and the loot even better. 

     After a while the get mission, travel, fight, then find,  way of playing the game gets old. There is no other way to play the game though. Also the load times while traveling between worlds is slow, and the load time graphics are annoying.

     Over all I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves shooters. It is action packed and challenging. The art is beautiful, and the story is entertaining. With the 40+ hours of game play, plus co-op, and expansion packs the game is well worth the money.

     As always I like to provide a link to purchase this product through amazon. If you are going to buy from there please use this link so I can get paid a little bit. Thank you for reading.
