Game Review

There are many different games out there that are hyped up and only show the good parts and i am here to tell you the good and bad parts of a game.

The game I am talking about is Borderlands and all three of the games that are out at the moment.

Borderlands 1

Borderlands one is based in a desert environment and you have to fight many enemies and complete many quests to get through this challenging game.

There are many quests to be completed and there are also many side-quests in the game that give you great loot and make the game fun.

The game also is Single player and multi-player so you can play it with friends or experience the game on your own

Genre: Action, FPS, Adventure

My Personal experience with the game is overall positive but i could be byass because i have spent a lot of time playing this game and learning to love it and all the characters, i think my favourite character is Clap Trap because he always makes me laugh and over all i think he is the most interesting character in the game. When i was playing through the game i found myself getting bored but after like 30 minutes away and i just wanted to keep playing more and before i knew it i was already half-way through the game and i was still loving it.

The Positives to this game are:

• It can take long to complete but the story keeps you going all the way through and the story is interesting and so when going through the game it feels like you are finding new bits to a puzzle.
• There are many hidden things within borderlands and you can spend hours just looking for all the mystery's this game has to hold.
• There are normal side quests that can be completed but there are also hidden side-quests that you can do and some of the hidden side-quests add to the plot of the game.
• The game is most fun when playing it with other people but when playing alone it is also enjoyable to see just how far you can get in the game.
• The multiplayer works the same as the single player so if you are finding it hard to continue then you can always ask a friend for help
• The bosses of the game are creative and usually have an easy way to help you kill them like spots that deal critical damage
• The game rewards skilled players because almost every enemy has a weak spot and if you can find it then you will be rewarded a critical hit that does more damage.
• When you first start off the game the tutorial is very helpful and it tells you what the buttons you need to use are.
• I found myself playing this game a lot and completing it at least 3 times.
• If you think the game will be easier with more people you are dead wrong because the more people there are with you the harder the enemies get and i think this is a good idea because if it wasn't like this then Co-op would be to easy.
• There are 4 Challenging DLC in the game that you can complete after the game has ended and it adds more content to the game.
• There are 4 characters that you can play as in this game and each one of them is different in their own way for example they all have different abilities and a different style to their game play.

The Negatives of borderlands are:

• The game feels like it is the same thing every time because you go to a place kill everyone and then fight the boss and so it can become very repetitive.
• The game can be annoying with the amount of enemies that are in your way when you are trying to get through the game quickly or are just over levelled for an area.
• There are no shared items in the game so in multiplayer it can become a race to see how can pick-up items the fastest and this can make the game less enjoyable when in a group or just playing online
• The multi-player on borderlands is OK but when you are with people you don't know it is unlikely that they will help you when you need it and so when online with people you don't know be more careful just in case you go down because they might not revive you.
• Hacking is a big problem in borderlands 1 because of how easy it is I found when I started playing online there was a lot of people with hacked weapons and armour that just made the game boring for me.
•
