Should I buy Borderlands?

I'm in two minds about buying this game. I LOVE Fallout 3, which is why this game appeals to me, though I've heard some criticism such as bad controls, a crap plot and the single-player experience not being that good. I'm in town tomorrow, so I might pick it up, but I'd like some opinions first . Speaking of the controls being an issue, what is the actual control layout and can they be customized?

Thanks!

Why not just post in the main thread for the game rather then starting a new one.

Re: Should I buy Borderlands?

Borderlands = MUST BUY!! In my opinion there is only MW2 that should rival this game for Game of the Year. I personally cannot find a fault with it........it must be good, as its kept both Halo games out of my disc drive for about a week now
