Maybe you will not, but this game definitely will survive. Every other word is wasted. Darkness is waiting for you. Go for it!

Short, easy, nice, cute, free.
Nothing special, but It is worth taking the few moments it takes to play through it.

(A bit) old but still cool!

The first chapter of Pandora's adventures, in part linked to sequels (Ps: B2 is amazing!). The story itself is simple and crude, but the game is full of humor and for that alone it's worth to get to the end.

"You followed Claptrap into Fyrestone, and soon found yourself in a firefight with the local bandits. If you can find a survivor, maybe he'll be able to help you on your way to finding the Vault."

Pro:
- Common leveling system based on earned experience (XP): missions, challenges and killings (lv 1-51 and then up to 69).
- Enemies' level is enough balanced throughout the storyline. Once the story is complete you can start it again (2 times), maintaining your own level and equipment. Even enemies will obviously have a higher level = best rewards.
- Cooperative mode (up to 4 players): If you have nerd but hilarious friends (in this case COD experts are not a good choice) the overall value of the game increases exponentially.
- Graphic Style (if you like the genre).
- Fun, Fun .. FUN!

Cons:
- Almost dead Multiplayer (PvP!?): I think it is better if you call a friend!
- Single player mode is likely to become a bit repetitive at the end (farming is necessary).
- Visual control system for the vehicle (pc = mouse)
- Waste of time (30h for a complete -not speed- run). The Vault in Pandora is waiting for you (but also your girl-/boyfriend!)

DLC:
I think it's worth (in fact it is necessary) to buy them in order to really enjoy the whole story. They are more funny than the game itself. The only exception is the Underdome of Moxxi. The level of enemies to fight in the three arenas will be calibrated according to yours, with the result that some challenges will be very difficult (almost impossible). In my opinion: co-op or nothing.

Conclusion:
If what you want is shoot at crazy pychos (semi-humans) who are running towards you or at other brightly-colored and shocking space monsters (to enjoy seeing them exploding obviously), well, this is the game for you, or rather, the world for you.

Welcome to Pandora!

Considering the release date (2009):

Single: 8/10
Co-op: 9/10
