    Along with Oblivion's "The Shivering Isles" and GTA's "Ballad of Gay Tony", Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned has the highest playtime/cost ratio of any DLC. By that I mean it provides a dozen hours of gameplay, yet only costs 800 MS points. Some DLC on Xbox Live costs 1200 MS Points, but only provides 3-4 hours of gameplay. For anyone sitting on the fence, do not hesitate to sprint to your Xbox and download this DLC pack after the end of this sentence.… Expand

    Only 25 missions. Not a lot of quality among them. Just a change of scenery and new monsters.

    This is the best DLC I have ever played. The enemies were awesome! Loot Goon and WereSkags were my favorite.

    This is a LOT of content for $10. Not only did I buy ths for myself but I two more copies of the game and this DLC for my son (XBox360) and my stepson (PS3), A lot of the reviews from other sites and mags are untrue - that you have to be at 42nd level or so to take this on. you can take it on at whatever level you are at in the first playthru or second playthru. It seems to level up just fine. I first played it at 10th level I got the BEST loot out of this and it is great for leveling up, even tho some reviews I have read incorrectly state that you cannot level up with this DLC. If you enjoy Borderlands, this is a MUST download.… Expand

    For $10, it's loaded with more hours of gameplay than most dlc. If you already own Borderlands and you like the game, you can't go wrong with this. Oh yeah, it has zombies too.

    I have to say, I really enjoyed this DLC. The opening was funny, the bosses were fun to battle, the missions weren't repetitive, the ending/closure were satisfying. Co-op is great, like the rest of Borderlands. Overall fun and enjoyable.

    What do you get when Zombies invade Borderlands? you get a EPIC!!!! add-on, which is probably the best add-on for a game I have ever played it's fantastic, it adds tons of hours of new gameplay, new missions, new weapons, and cool new Zombie and other enemies, and it's just so much fun to play, and also has the Borderlands sense of humor which makes it more enjoyable, it has a great atmosphere, and a really enjoyable story behind it all, maybe it's just because I love Zombies but I believe this is a fantastic add-on, and definitely worth the 800 MS points asking price, and deserving of a perfect 10, if you have Borderlands this is a must own download.… Expand

    Its too much like Left 4 Dead for me to consider it good. A lot of annoying backtracking and boring missions (and insanely repetitive mission objectives). Its also a rather short piece of DLC.

    It's somewhat enjyoable at first but then it gets insanely repetitive and pretty stale. Most of your time will be spent on annoying collectable related missions and back tracking. It's ok but far from perfect.

    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.

    The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is maybe not attractive in terms of new weapons, skills or a higher level cap, but it's funny, long and surprisingly comical.

    Moody new environments, diverse new foes, and even more of Borderlands' signature humor make this new content very entertaining and very worthwhile.
