Awesome Game!!

Im going to start of by saying this game is fantastic! I play on a early 2011 Macbook Pro with 4gb of RAM and 320gb Hardrive and it runs great. The single player aspect of the game is fun, challenging at some points, and can be confusing, but in a good way. The confusion just lets you explore the world known as Pandora. The Mac version isnt very different from the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 version of the game besides the controls. If you dont have a mouse the game can be quite difficult to play so I recommend changing the zoom (aim) button to Q since it is very hard to use the trackpad in quick situations. Some lag may be experienced while playing, so I suggest plug into the power source if possible while playing to increase the power of the laptop. I have had the game for about 5 or so months now and I have yet to get the Multiplayer working. The program you need to use Gameranger is horrible and freezes up, requiring me to force quit it. Luckily I recently purchased the Xbox 360 version of the game and the multiplayer works flawelessly on that. It is a shame that the multiplayer doesnt work great but the single player portion of this game is well worth over thirty US dollars since it is included with four DLC Stories. The original story is great with creative and very intresting to play and leaves you on end wanting to know where to go next. The first DLC: Dr Neds Zombie island is a fun expansion to the game with very funny humor. The second DLC: Moxxis underdome was a little bit dissappointing. If you enter this DLC excited about continuing on quests and sidemissions you will be upset to find out that this DLC is just a battle Arena with multiple rounds, Not saying that it isnt a good edition but I expected more. The third DLC: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is a similar to the first DLC with quests and side missions. Although I am not 100% finished with this DLC it is fun, yet much harder than the other ones. The new vehicles, and use of Scooter make you feel like scooter is more of a main character than a side character. The last DLC: Claptraps Robot Revolution is a fantastic way to tie up the ending to the normal Borderlands storyline. If you really dont care about the DLCs I would recommend at least playing This one although some of the bosses may be confusing because of skipping the other DLCs. I would rate this game a 4.5 because there is bad multplayer support. But at least its on MAC. Have a Great Day
