There's no doubt that Borderlands has its faults but everything that exists around those sticky spots is incredible. The fun I had with the rock-solid gunplay and extensive role-playing elements was considerably amplified by each additional player. Borderlands is an absolute blast that I'll go back to again and again, even if my friends aren't around to help out. Considering how great of a time I had in Pandora, though, I expect they'll be around for a while too.
PROS: Co-op loot-scavenging rocks; great graphics, style and music; RPG/FPS hybrid is outstanding
CONS: Single-player suffers from co-op focus; the story is interesting but it feels a tad shallow
