Personally I don't think it's worth it (and I bought it).  The bank is pretty cool, but I'm not sure it's worth the money or cheevos just for the $5.

Each dome is 5 rounds of 5 enemy types.  Some rounds there are restrictions (melee only, rockets only, pistols only, enemy has higher damage or hit, etc.) and each round gets tougher and tougher.  It also takes a long time to complete.  I heard it's at least 4 hours if you've got 4 players with good weapons.  You could try having the host be a lower level to see if that helps, but it's sort of an exploit.

If you die, you go into a penalty box.  A cage hanging in the air.  You can still shoot and such, but your shot path is limited and you may not get any bonuses from your friends perks (you may, I can't remember).

I haven't beat it...don't have that much patience.

[JacksDaddy]

Its ok dragon. Id be more than happy to help u out cause I have 3 achievements left to complete on it

[PFof2]

What about underdome? Is it worth the 400 points? I hate that it says I don't have all the acievements because I don't have the underdome. Don't think DLC should count against you if you haven't downloaded it yet.

Borderlands Zombie Island and General Knoxx are a steal at $5 each.  If you have Borderlands or still think you will get this game later on down the line, go ahead and pick up these two great DLC's for $10.  They will add 10 more levels and probably around 15 hours of additional gameplay.

Tough call.  I did enjoy the Risk demo also, and Joey said it is a great game.  On the other hand, the sale for Winterbottom is only till Monday, and Risk will always be $10 unless you wait for it to go on sale also.  Just saying.

just bought battlefield 1943.  So I might get winterbottom.

thanks Damian.  I downloaded the demo.  I enjoyed it, but am kind of torn between Winterbottom or Risk.

[Aftrthought051]

Hey Pin, don't forget about the sales.  I don't know what you are interested in, but I ended up getting PB Winterbottom and it was a great game.  Definitely worth $5.
