  • Summary: (Downloadable Content) The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is an add-on pack for Borderlands with new enemy types, new missions, and new ... surprises. The Jakobs Corporation would like to invite you to experience the splendor of a corporate owned small town known as Jakobs Cove. Any rumors you may have heard about the "undead" walking our streets are completely preposterous and we officially deny them all. If those rumors turn out to be true simply purchase a firearm from the conveniently located Jakobs Brand Vending Machines and aim for the head. Also, would you mind saving our employees? (Non-union only please). Collapse

    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.
  2. A well priced DLC that sadly ends a little too quickly, it would have been nice to play with new weapons but we can't have everything. A perfect add-on for Borderlands.
  3. If you haven't gotten completely burned out of Borderlands' shoot-'n-loot hijinks or are looking to pick the game back up, taking a relatively new character through the perils of The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is certainly a worthwhile endeavor.
  4. If nothing else, it's entirely fitting that a game that's always been brilliantly brainless is now genuinely brain-dead as well. Oh, and I finally got that bloody Mario-themed Achievement. SCORE.

    Too much at $10? - that's crazy. I loved the DLC. New enemies - lot's of new humor - and Zombies! I spent $20 for a 2 hour movie I enjoyed a lot less than the $10 I spent on Zombie Island (and I got 6 hours of additonal fun). Expand
  3. No new guns. Barely new enemies. No fast travel. 5 hour DLC. It feels too overpriced. But the art style is awesome adding green to the screen. Tries to be funny and fails. Expand

    WAY to short to be $10. It may be worth $1.99 with the amount of material they give you. Its probably in the 2 to 4 hour range of gameplay with no new real challanges and no new weapons. I dont think any boss took over 20 seconds to beat. Very dissapointed in this, it is just a remake of many of the earlier maps with a darker look to them. Like something some of the guys did for Halloween and decided to sell it. Do not waste your money. Expand
