Dark Light
Quick Review: The Zombie Island of Doctor Ned


I personally love Borderlands, it is one of my favorite games of 2009.  When I found out the DLC was coming so soon, I like others was excited.  The game was great and it left me wanting more.  After playing the content, I can say I enjoyed a lot of little things, but the few things I disliked were big ones.

Liked:

  • Killing zombies is always fun to do.  While zombies might be cliche, there’s nothing like blasting your way through a bunch of em.
  • Environments fit the zombie theme, though it did seem a bit “Halloween-ish” with all the pumpkins.
  • Loot Goons aka The Incredible Hulkenstein were fun to kill then loot.
  • Final Boss looked pretty cool, always a plus
  • Was priced just right for what it gave

Disliked:

  • That it ended.  The DLC’s story was relatively short and that is always disappointing. I was expecting a bit more out of it.
  • Story could have used a little work, it seemed to suffer the same way the main games story did.
  • There was no depth to some of the missions and for the most part the side missions suffered the same thing.
  • Final Boss was too easy with 4 players.
  • Collecting 250 brains (although the achievement was nice)

If you loved the game and are looking to do something new for it, you’ll probably want to download this.  It might be short, but it’s fun to blow through with your friends in co-op.  As I stated, it might be cliche, but it’s always fun to kill zombies.  If you’re looking for something with depth and a story though, I think you’ll just want to pass.

    I am definitely going to buy this before Christmas, but I want to get my hunter up to lvl 50 before I play through it.
