Being a fan of post-apocalyptic movies such as Road Warrior, I was
happier than a wasteland warrior with a full tank of gas when
style="font-style: italic;">Borderlands
was released. Combining a FPS with elements of a RPG, the game was a
breath of fresh air for me. Fortunately, my adventures on Pandora have
not been finished. The first two expansions have been released as a
single product in brick-and-mortar stores. Faster than I can make a
skag a piece of roadkill, I raced to check the expansion out.
The two expansions,
style="font-style: italic;">The Zombie Island of Dr.
Ned and
style="font-style: italic;">Mad Moxxi’s
Underdome Riot, have been
available for some time as DLC (downloadable content). During the
course of this review, I’ll skip back and forth between the
two expansions. Integrating them into your gameplay is simple. Once
they’ve been added, you’ll find two new zones for
you to travel to using the transport system.
The
Zombie Island of Dr. Ned
takes you to Jakobs Cove, where something has gone terribly wrong.
Apparently, Dr. Ned (no relation to Dr. Zed!) has somehow made
everybody into zombies. It’s up to you to sort everything
out. By that, I mean kill everything in sight.
Mad
Moxxi’s Underdome Riot
adds some new arenas for you and your friends to compete in. After you
fight wave after wave of bad guys, you can exit the arena and head over
to the bank to store your extra goods. Yes, there is now a bank for you
in
Borderlands.
