    I am a big Borderlands fan, and really enjoyed the first DLC, but this one is a step back, no XP gained and no weapons better than what I already had.

    It's worth the money. It adds hours of game. 3 arena's, 25 waves a piece broken down into 5 rounds the 1st time around. Then you do them again with the difficulty up and 100 waves each in 20 rounds. The bank is pointless, unless you like to run around with tons of useless junk in your inventory all the time.

    Nowhere near as good as the original game or the zombie expansion. It will take a good few hours to finish but you are just in one of three arenas killing wave after wave of bad guys. I played through one of the arenas last night with 3 buddies and it took about 2 hours. i gues i'll do the other two tonight and tomorrow just to 'finish' the game as i've done everthing else. If you really love Borderlands then maybe buy - otherwise stick to the original (brilliant0 game or the zombies expansion Expand

    I don't regret my purchase one bit, but there are some annoyances (mostly sound-related). It's really best for co-op, and the addition of a bank is useful.

    A good addition to the game, it is best if you have friends to play with as the arenas can be tough by yourself. The bank is another nice addition.

    This is the perfect example of how NOT to do DLC, it adds nothing enjoyable and has no real value other than a way to play through a crappy Horde mode clone with your friends, it gives you three arenas and each one has 5 rounds each consisting of 5 waves and each wave is the same every time you play through them, it does give you a weapon storage bank and a few new achievements, but the bank can only hold 21 guns, and in order to unlock all of the achievements require you to play through each arena twice, and it's longer the second time around, and you don't even get experience for your kills and there isn't any good loot, even if you get 4 friends together you'll still be bored, honestly I really don't recommend this, it's not worth the asking price and even if you buy the GOTY edition of Borderlands I don't really see a reason to download it, so in closing all I can say is pass on this one.

    It would have been nice if Mad Moxxie lifted the level cap, but it still offers enough mayhem to make it worth the download for any Borderlands player looking for a little mindless killing.
  2. Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot is a worthwhile addition to Borderlands that will give you more reasons to keep your disc spinning. The action is fast, and the tournament style really takes to the creative gunplay in Borderlands.
  3. Borderlands' latest DLC has shown me the combat rhythm I've naturally settled into: the regular back and forth between whittling away at enemies with SMGs before disappearing in a puff of magic, to either slink off and let my shield charge up again, or pop up behind an unfortunate bruiser in order to blast chunks out of their neck with a shotgun.
