I'd have to say I feel the exact same way about Borderlands. All of the right elements for a good game were there,
they just weren't executed properly.
I've only played the Xbox360 version of it, but the split-screen co-op is what killed it for me. It's set up vertical style, not horizontal;
seems like a panorama view would help.
Also, the almost useless menus become even more useless in multiplayer because the developers didn't bother redesigning them
for the split screens, meaning you have to actually scroll the menu around with the camera in order to see it,
so part of your menu is always off-screen, and that part is usually the part you need to see.
This game is just too hampered with poor design choices for me to enjoy.
