Description

Lock, Load, & Face the Madness
Get ready for the mind blowing insanity! Play as one of four trigger-happy mercenaries and take out everything that stands in your way!
With its addictive action, frantic first-person shooter combat, massive arsenal of weaponry, RPG elements and four-player co-op*, Borderlands is a breakthrough experience that challenges all the conventions of modern shooters. Borderlands places you in the role of a mercenary on the lawless and desolate planet of Pandora, hell-bent on finding a legendary stockpile of powerful alien technology known as The Vault.
  • Role Playing Shooter (RPS) - Combines frantic first-person shooting action with accessible role-playing character progression
  • Co-Op Frenzy - Fly solo in single player or drop in and out with up to 4 Player Co-Op online for a maniacal multiplayer experience
  • Bazillions of Guns - Gun lust fulfilled with rocket-launching shotguns, enemy-torching revolvers, SMGs that fire lightning rounds, and tons more
  • Radical Art Style - New visual style combines traditional rendering techniques with hand-drawn textures to create a unique and eye-catching spin on the First Person genre
  • Intense Vehicular Combat - Get behind the wheel and engage in intense vehicle-to-vehicle combat

PLUS:

THE ZOMBIE ISLAND OF DOCTOR NED: Enter the corporate owned small town known as Jakobs Cove and put an end to the rumors of the walking “undead.” New areas, new missions, new enemies, Oh My!

MAD MOXXI’S UNDERDOME RIOT: Celebrate the grand opening of Marcus Bank by taking on hundreds of foes in the only competitive arena around where you’re coming back famous... or not at all.

THE SECRET ARMORY OF GENERAL KNOXX: Want more of the Borderlands story and more loot than you could possibly figure out what to do with? Add new guns, missions, vehicles and more!

CLAPTRAP’S NEW ROBOT REVOLUTION: This destructive adventure invites you to battle a vicious new threat, a massive uprising of your former friends: the claptraps.

Very fun, assuming you have the patience to apply 3000 different community fixes just to get it to run properly. Don't bother with the Enhanced Edition, it has even more issues. Look up the Borderlands SDK mod, which has plugins to fix common bugs, fix the FOV, add quality-of-life features, etc. Also, disable Dynamic Shadows in the graphics settings. The shadows are the single biggest source of performance issues,

a fun and addicting game, slower paced and not as polished as later games in the series - this 1st entry still has the major elements that makes the games a blast. Interesting combat, satisfying weapons / loot and a captivating look & atmosphere keeps you coming back for more.
