Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned

In releasing this DLC, Gearbox and 2K have done what seems to be so difficult for other studios: drop a well designed, value laden expansion pack in a timely manner. With a tighter, more condensed storyline, tons of great humor, lots of varied enemies and fresh, new environments to play in once you finish your first run to the Vault, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is a simply awesome expansion pack and a great way to change up your Borderlands experience.

At $10 or whatever that translates to in Microsoft fun money, you're looking at at least another eight hours of gameplay (maybe more if you don't work on the brain-hunting missions while doing all the other ones). At that price, Zombie Island just may be the perfect place for your next vacation, and for your next level up too. I went from being a level 40 Hunter to level 46 while playing through the new missions available. It arrived just in time too, as I was starting to lose interest in my second playthrough. If you're still playing or are looking to reach that level cap with something a bit more engaging than grinding, I suggest you check it out.

Genocidul contra cetățenilor nemorți are un efect terapeutic. Recomand.

The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is great fun and will be sure to extend the game life for people who are maybe just growing bored of the first one. Sadly the level cap isn’t extended further however there is enough variety both with enemy creatures and map locations to breathe new life into the core game mechanic. The design is very professionally designed and there will be more than one occasion when you chuckle out loud at the witty story missions and dialogue. The core gameplay is still very addictive and it should extend the life of the game for quite some time, for a very modest outlay - great value for money.

The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is a well-made and entertaining piece of content, giving Borderlands fans a chance to sink bullets into undead flesh in new environments and with some additional quest goals. The expansion also offers stronger story elements, something mostly propped up with wacky humor and nonsense, which is quite fitting considering the context of a zombie outbreak and ludicrous amount of loot and bullets and death. While it doesn't alter the core of Borderlands in any dramatic kind of way, it is one of the most vividly characterized zones. Considering the strength of the gameplay formula and the fact that it's still fairly soon after the main game's release, what's presented here -- more things to kill and more reasons to laugh while doing so -- is welcome.

Une excellente surprise que cette première extension pour Borderlands. Très aboutie en termes d'ambiance, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned assure une bonne petite poignée d'heures remplies de frags et de fous rires. Par bien des aspects, cet add-on paraît même plus réussi encore que les meilleures quêtes du jeu de base. Mais pour profiter à plein de cette petite incursion en territoire zombie, nous ne saurions que trop vous conseiller d'employer un personnage qui n'aura pas déjà retourné tous les cailloux de Pandore et tué tous ses habitants pour en extirper le moindre point d'expérience. C'est à ce prix que vous profiterez de la balade !
