Xbox 360 Review: Borderlands - Page 2

It would only seem appropriate for a demented tow service to show up given the oddball sense of humor. Enemies vary from hulking brutes to (actual name) Psycho Shotgun Midgets, who have heads lined up perfectly for the default height of the player’s gun. They never stood a chance.

Thankfully, despite the dire conditions, with many inhabitants using tattered rugs for doors, procreation is quite a popular pastime. In fact, the time from pregnancy to birth is about, say, one mission. Once you’ve cleared out a particularly difficult set of enemies, the trek back will be filled with all of the children of those prior slaughter victims. That’s impressive, even if the whole of Borderlands is not.

Borderlands is rated M (Mature) by the ESRB for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Mature Humor, Strong Language. This game can also be found on: PS3, PC.

    No, I like it, and in many ways I love it. It just has such a huge array of problems, nothing can fix them short of a revamped sequel.

    With the sole exception of the insane dog things, i thought that it had very few problems

    I am starting to see the uneven gameplay with enemies just slightly outside your current experience level. That is annoying, and stupid.
