Borderlands is a strange game to try and explain its a sci-fi frantic first person shooter crossed with a role playing game. And its utter madness get ready for mind blowing insanity.
You play as one of four trigger happy mercenaries in either the single player mode or team upwith 3 friends for 4 player co-op.
Games that try this FPS/RPG cross are often found wanting in one department, either the combat suffers or the story suffers. Borderlands hopes to address this. Character progression is important in this using the same weapon increases your proficiency with that weapon. Vending machines litter borderlands this is where you buy and sell weapons gain ammo armour or health. Points are also gained during gameplay these can be used to determine your characters skills as a soldier, infrantry or medic.
Choose from weapons that include rocket-launching shotguns, enemy torching revolvers, SMG's the fire lighting rounds and tons more.
The art work in Borderlands is quite amazing. We think this game could be on course to cause quite a stir when its released follow us on twitter for more updates as we get them.
