Each button has several different functions depending on what is happening in the game. Until you get the hang of what button does what, it can get a bit frustrating. My only complaint about this game are the buttons. Once you get the shield level down, go for head shots otherwise you will find yourself wasting ammo trying to take down invincible bandits. The game will provide you with a bar letting you know where their shield levels are at with their health bar. These ones will require a nice critical shot to the head to ensure instant death.īandits are everywhere in the game while some can go down quickly, others have shields which can prove to be difficult when trying to take them down. Be careful, certain Skag shoot balls of acid on you and can quickly eat up your health. A melee attack on these creatures usually can prove deadly and saves ammo when on certain missions. Skags, the mutant looking dogs are not too hard to kill if you go for a head shot. Make sure to search through everything, you never know what you might find.Įnemies vary in difficultly. Boxes that have green lights on the outside are located throughout the game and contain all kinds of perks. Picking up ammo and money does not seem to be a problem in Borderlands. Also, every time you come back to life, you are charged a fee so make sure you have an abundance of money on hand. There a points throughout the game that save your progress but can become tiresome when the last save point is on the other side of the Arid Badlands and requires a hike to get back to where you died.
I VE GOT BILLS TO PAY MOUTHS TO FEED LYRICS FULL
I find myself running away or hiding from gunfire at times until my shield is back up to full bars. Some shields take ten to twenty seconds without any hits from emenies to regenerate and protect your health while others can take more or less time. You are able to purchased shields that protect your health and depending on what shield you get depends on what it can do for you. If you have mastered the skill of running away from gunfire in other games, then playing the single player mode should be a piece of cake. The best part of the game is the possibility of never dying. Every gun has a different feature and should help compliment your characters abilities. You are able to pick guns up from dead emenies, find them in Skag piles, and purchase them through vending machines. Keep a heads up, bandits are everywhere and must be destroyed in order to get to your first real mission.Īs you progress further into the game, the bazillions of guns become a reality. At times Claptrap becomes a bit annoying with his, "look at me, I'm dancing, I'm dancing," but when it comes time to save him, you feel compassion for the little robot. He will help guide you through the town and certain parts of the game. Once off the bus, you find yourself in the town of Fyrestone and being greeted by a friendly Claptrap robot. Throughout the game she will make an appearance, giving hints here and there on what needs to be accomplished. You are on a mission to find the Vault which in the begining could be anything, treasure, women, who knows? While on the bus, a vision of a woman appears before you informing on what you need to do to get to the Vault. Each character has their own specialty that is used to enhance game play but to obtain the most of your selected character, online gaming is a must. You find yourself on an apocalyptic style bus traveling to Pandora carrying four characters, Brick the Berserker, Lilith the Siren, Mordecai the Hunter, and Roland the Solider. It really does an excellent job at showing the world how far we've come from the pixel characters of the 80s. The game starts off like a movie, the graphics are stunning. From what I've played, the game hold endless potential for online gaming. I choose to play single player so I could get a feel for what I was up against before diving into real game play. Borderlands can either be played online or as a single player run through. The game combination of first person shooter and role playing shooter gives each gamer the chance to create a one of a kind character. The game I speak so highly of is Borderlands. This is coming from a gamer who never thought anything could be better than Bioshock and now is presented with a game that is not only better but takes the cake on being one of the best games to be released this year. I don't know what sold me on this game, the graphics on the outside of the game box, the catchy intro song, or the bazillions of guns, but whatever the case was, I am in love.
