If you want to play with friends (the more the better, 4 players limit though) or with random people on the internet, it's VERY fun, but after a while it gets kinda repetitive and dull and whenever you get to finish the game there is nothing you can do about it... borderlands is somewhat short but if you play like 2-3 hours a day max you'll have a few days of guaranteed fun playtime... if you have the $$$ then buy the 3 DLCs that are released, I've been told they pretty much double the places, time, etc. of the first borderlands.
