The Lost Gamer writes "When a game is marketed as bringing two of gaming's greatest genres together, the adoring fans of both usually duck for cover and wait for the fallout to settle before re-emerging with a sarcastic 'told you so'. Mixing game genres very seldom works and with Borderlands attempting to join First Person Shooter's and Role Playing games together Gearbox software had to make sure that the resulting game would not only keep FPS and RPG fans satisfied but also push their newly amalgamated title in the right direction." 8/10
