Introduction

Borderlands is a great fun co-op game and single player, it lets you explore the world of Pandora. A RPG mixed with FPS, its humorous, fun and has a bazillion guns It does a very good job with having a sense of that MMO feeling, good FPS play and a interesting RPG system/mechanics, probably one of the most interesting games of 2009 for the PS3. Call your buddies and have a blast!

Roadmap

Majority of the trophies can be achieved by playing by yourself, most of them are just tied to leveling, discovering certain quests that are story-related, so you pretty much get this as you go and level up to 50. There are some multiplayer trophies but most of them can also be done alone in the split-screen.

However, the only trophy you need to get online is "They'll Tell Two Friends" but most likely if you have played a multiplayer game you already got this, so don't worry about it.

In order to obtain every trophy, you will probably have to do 2 or 3 playthroughs total. Once you beat the game, your character keeps the weapon, money, loot but you can start again to keep leveling until 50.

First playthrough should be Single-Player only, unless you have a really dedicated buddy who is willing to play on a scheduled basis throughout the game to get all the trophies/level/beat the game. The first playthrough will get you to level 36/37.

Yours 1st playthrough will get you to 36/37, and get you majority of the trophies. You pretty much need a 2nd playthrough just to get to level 50 and get your platinum. The 4 trophies for each character's talent points should only take about 2 hours or so or maybe even less.

Once your done with every story-releated trophy and leveling, you should start doing co-op online or offline/splitscreen to get the rest of the trophies. This is an easy platinum just a matter of dedication and some time consumption .
