The first commercial expansion for Gearbox Software's fast-paced first-person
shooter/role-playing game hybrid adds new missions, game modes, and dangerous
enemies. As in the original main game, players can choose one of four character
archetypes, including the powerful berserker, the accurate hunter, the tricky
siren, and the well-rounded soldier.
As they gain experience, characters can be further specialized with a
selection of custom upgrades, under an RPG-like development system.
Single-player adventure is supported, but the game's main thrust remains on
internet-connected, small-squad, multiplayer combat. The add-on pack features
two new areas, both designed and presented in the futuristic, dystopian,
tongue-in-cheek style of the original game.
The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is a small-town, open-world environment
where players can work together to fend off undead denizens using the firearms
of their choice, many of which are available from conveniently located Jakobs
Brand vending machines. Mad Moxxi's Underdome is a special arena where
human-controlled characters can fight to the death for fame and treasure.
