Borderlands: Claptrap's New Robot Revolution

But if you're absolutely fiending for more Borderlands, it's not entirely empty without that character progression. The new quests and areas, combined with a "best of" lineup of characters from the other DLCs and other parts from the main game make for a good, exciting mini-adventure. If you're at all interested by the idea of returning to Borderlands, Claptrap's New Robot Revolution is absolutely solid.

Claptrap's New Robot Revolution is still Borderlands and I still enjoyed it immensely. Yes, the environments, missions and bosses were too repetitive from what we have seen already, and the loot was not satisfying, but Borderlands never needs much help to be entertaining. I would recommend this DLC for any Borderlands fan who just wants to get back in the game, but for those of you who want something completely new, you might want to spend your cash elsewhere.

If you've stuck it out this long, then you're going to want to join the revolution, as it's definitely a good way to say goodbye to Pandora and the Borderlands-verse... at least for now.

Nueva Revolución queda algo lejos del nivel del resto de expansiones de Borderlands, y eso se debe a que hace los deberes por las justas. El sentido del humor salva al videojuego de caer en lo más absolutamente genérico, y el reciclaje de escenarios, villanos y situaciones le resta puntos.

Pur non introducendo nulla di realmente innovativo, Nuova Rivoluzione si dimostra dunque un DLC di pregevole fattura in grado di arricchire la già ottima esperienza di base di Borderlands. Sebbene l'avventura proposta non brilli di certo per longevità o innovazione, la quantità e la qualità dei combattimenti che ne caratterizzano l'evoluzione sapranno senz'altro spingere qualsiasi appassionato del franchise a tornare in quel di Pandora per un po' d'azione.

Après le coup de maître que représentait l'Armurerie du Général Knoxx, cette nouvelle extension, sans être véritablement mauvaise, fait figure de petite déception. Moins bien ficelée, moins originale, moins drôle et moins complète que sa grande soeur, elle se contente généralement de recycler des mécaniques de jeu archi rabâchées dans le jeu de base sans jamais rien apporter de très frais. Reste que le solide gameplay de Borderlands fait toujours mouche, ce qui devrait permettre aux fans de se replonger dans le bébé de Gearbox avec plaisir. En somme, on dira donc de ce quatrième DLC que tout en étant assez sympathique, il reste également tout à fait dispensable.

But then, of course, the Borderlands gameplay is still as strong as ever. This may be more of the same, but when the same is this good, it's hard to feel too aggrieved, even if it never quite feels like the experience is worth another 800 Points (£6.29 on PS3 and PC). High-level players won't be missing anything remarkable if they decide to wait for the level cap increase before quelling the Robot Revolution.

But here’s the deal: If you like Borderlands to begin with and just want to keep playing (mind you the level cap isn’t raised here), that is, if you want some new missions, some slight variations on loot, and really hilarious dialogue throughout, then this DLC will win your heart. The problem is, after three other pieces of DLC that have provided essentially the same thing (aside from Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot which is just a lengthy arena mode), it feels like Borderlands could use some freshening up. I don’t want to say that Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution fails to entertain, it simply fails to do so in a new and unique way. Perhaps our expectations for DLC have become too demanding, but I couldn’t help but leave Pandora disappointed this time around.
