In Borderlands, you’ll take control of one of four treasure hunting mercenaries in search of the mysterious vault.
Each of the treasure hunters have their own unique abilities that can be upgraded using experience points that are accumulated throughout the game.
Borderlands core game play is a unique blend of a conventional role playing game and a first person shooter. You will accumulate experience points and loot for killing enemies which can be applied to your characters skills and used to buy supplies and gear at ending machines throughout the game world.
One of Borderlands most unique features is the random gun generation game mechanic that will create new and different guns each time you find one. The guns are rated on a rarity scale which is color coded in the game. The rarity scale starts at white, being the most common, and goes up to orange, which is the rarest.
Another feature that sets Borderlands apart from the crowd of FPS is its gorgeous cell shaded graphics which make everything in the world appear very colorful and gives the game a look all of its own.
The controls are tight and the button layout resembles the layout of most FPS currently on the market. However you can also change the layout in the options menu if you like.
Borderlands is one of the most unique and addictive games currently on the market and I highly recommend it to RPG and FPS fans alike.
