Bloodthirsty bandits. Vicious monsters. Tons of loot. Lock, Load and face the madness. Gearbox Software's acclaimed sci-fi hit comes to the Mac complete with all four add-on packs. Borderlands is a unique hybrid of first person shooter and role-playing game with a super sharp visual style and a compelling 4 player co-op mode.

Planet Pandora is a sparsely populated wasteland where the rule of law gets rewritten daily in the smoke of the last gun battle. Civilization consists of small outposts on the fringe of human influence, in an area called the Borderlands. Pandora's one tourist attraction is a mythical Vault supposedly packed with fantastic riches.

Fortune hunters, corrupt corporate mercenaries and lowlife hoodlums roam the landscape, searching under every grain of sand for the treasure. Since most intelligent life on Pandora has the occupation of Vault Hunter, society has gone to hell - making the outposts and outback areas more than just a little dangerous.

Frame rate too slow, but still okay.

by sosaywe, USA - May 12th 2012

My system exceeds the requirements, but on the lowest settings, and resolution 1024-768, I still get slow frame rates.

The game looks beautiful on high settings, but it's frame rate is too slow for my system. If you have something similar to a mbp-2.88ghz, 4gb ram, a Nvdia9600GT video card, I'd suggest not getting it. You need a faster cpu, and better card really.

Gunplay and Art.... All Rolled Into One!

by JaguarGod, USA - Feb 27th 2012

Couple the art-style with the immaculate gunplay and you get a game that is screaming to be played. The story in Borderlands, though not as fleshed out as it could have been, still adds to the action contained within the game. The quest for the 'perfect gun' keeps you ripping through enemies and bosses who may hold a weapon that is truly spectacular. It is this weapon-centric mechanic and the toonish-beautiful art style that separates this game from other shooters. I am very grateful this game came to Mac OSX. Let's hope Borderlands 2 does the same!
