Borderlands GC Preview

GameSpot has produced some updated impressions of Borderlands, of Borderlands, having seen the game at the Leipzig GC.
Perhaps the coolest thing that we saw during our Borderlands demo, regardless of the fact that it sounds simple and it might not be news to you, is the "seat exchange" system that you can use to swap places with other players when you're at the controls of a vehicle in a co-op game. The vehicle that we saw during our demo could've been straight out of a Mad Max movie and had a position for a rooftop gunner, as well as the driver. The animation that played out as the two decided to swap seats was really slick, and we'll be surprised if other games don't incorporate similar systems in the future. You could argue that Mario Kart: Double Dash did it first, of course, but the best weapons in that game were brightly colored shells.
