I loved this game when it came out way back in 2009. It was a fresh break from Call of Duty and Halo at the time.
It hasn't aged all that well. (old game engine, graphics aren't great and the contols are a little sluggish)
The first few levels can be a grind especially when you need to aquire better gear and level up your character to overcome some challanging levels and bosses.

The game can be really fun in Co-op with friends. It's recommended to play this game with friends otherwise you can die real easily without a buddy to help you out.
Going solo can be done as long as you're willing to spend a lot of time grinding it out for good loot and level up. Be sure to finish side missions to get bonus EXP, loot and cash.

The DLCs greatly expand the game and they do add a lot of replayability. (Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and The Secret Armory of General Knoxx are the best)

Overall, I greatly enjoyed this game. It's a Loot-and Shoot game. You shoot bandits/creatures, get loot and shoot some more!
You're a Vault Hunter, you've come to Pandoa to find an ancient vault rumored to hold treasure and stuff. Grab a gun and shoot your way to it!

Want to run around an alien world infested with bandits, deadly creatures, fight an evil corporate militay and get tons of loot in the process? Get Borderlands!
I recommend this game!
