I have just about finished the first DLC for Borderlands and it has been terrific. I put a good 10 hours into it so far (I have been very thorough in order to make sure I am not missing anything) and for $10, that's a pretty good value, IMO. Heck, some full-priced titles have single player games that take only 10 hours to finish.
As with the original content, the humor in The Zombie Island Of Dr. Ned is tremendous. Lots of subtle (and not-so-subtle) comments on things that have transpired in the original game as well as some nice pop culture references to the whole overplayed zombie thing. The missions are basically the same sort as in the original game. And there is even a bounty board for side missions, just as there is in each major area in the original content. So there is plenty to do here and there are some nifty new creatures to slaughter. What else could you ask for?
The atmosphere is appropriately creepy, playing up the horror movie theme of the DLC. Once again the voice acting is hysterical and the visuals, so unique to Borderlands, are top-notch.
I have not found any killer weapons so far. In fact, for a large part of the time it seemed as though the weapons I was finding were a bit lower leveled than what they should have been. As I got closer to the end of the campaign, they did get noticeably better.
In the end it is very easy to give a strong recommendation to The Zombie Island Of Dr. Ned. As you know, Borderlands is one of my favorite games of the year and this add-on makes it even better. Thumbs up!!!
