Black humored shooter with RPG elements and huge scope

Graphics / Design:

Cel-shading is called the graphic style in which the entire game is held. The images are all clear, distinct and highly detailed. However, the cel-shading gives the game a very special comic similar note, which means that you somehow can not take quite seriously the most truly brutal action.

But: That is what the developers wanted! This game wants to not be taken seriously. Once you have understood this, you feel the same a lot more comfortable on the planet Pandora and can tolerate the bizarre events much better.

Sound / image / Controls:

The technical implementation of the game is impeccable. Good sound, especially the slightly moderate western-inspired musical Belgeitung and really very good German language edition, support the bizarre atmosphere of the game. The frame rate remains stable and does not go to its knees. Only the loading times are sometimes slightly annoying, even if they are not many.
The characters can be played very well with the standard configuration of the controller and can act very well in hectic battles.

Additional content:

The additional contents are the UK version on another DVD with the game, the German version uses DLC codes. In the DVD you verfahrt as follows: Inserting and goes through the menu to "Additional content install". When the code "Enter code" just over and load the contents.
After completion you can travel by Travel System to the new places and start the missions in the game.

Logically located close to the contents of the basic game, so after you enter the chamber and "Steel" and "destroyers" have defeated. You can also travel earlier example for "Jacobs Cove", but the mission is only feasible from a certain level.

Enhancements want content to say anything because I otherwise the fun "spoile" you. But I can guarantee that you will have to. Overall, gets her with approximately 25 hours additional gameplay with several new varieties, mission, enemies and gadgets.
But the emphasis lies - as in the entire game - the quirky, morbid, black humor, the sub contents to extremes. Especially the voice messages of Dr. Ned, Mr. Shank and General Knoxx not be surpassed in absurdity. I guarantee you, you will you enjoy delicious!

Conclusion:

I recommend the Borderlands GOTY fully to anyone who meets the age rating and may engage in unusual and twisted games. From me a strong buy recommendation and full 5 stars.
