It’s no secret that certain games are just better when played cooperatively. I mean, sure, youcouldplayLeft 4 Dead,Gears of War, and50 Cent: Blood on the Sandby yourself — the option to do soisthere, after all — but I don’t know ofanyonewho actuallyprefersthem that way. At the same time, some games that have theoptionfor co-op are often better as solo affairs. Just take a look at the upcomingDead Space 3for the most recent example of that. (And yes, I’m prejudging. Butcome on!)
Borderlands 2, for me, falls somewhere in between. While Ireallyloveplaying through the game with friends, I also enjoy having a bit of “me” time every once in a while, where I can just climb up a mountain to check out the view, or pull down the handle on a slot machine a few hundred times over at Moxxi’s, or spend insane amounts of time searching behind houses for thosesexy, purple bars. No matter what I’m in the mood for, I’m able to satisfy my craving; it’s like having two games in one!
Granted, games likeBorderlands(and, likewise,DiabloandTorchlight) are a bit different than the above examples, as there’s no AI partner to get in your way when you’re making a solo run-through. But still, it’s amazing how much different a gaming experience can be when you factor in whether or not you’re playing with another person.
