Borderlands 2

The first Borderlands held a special place in my heart, its extremely addicting loot finding, the co-op, the skill trees and best of all, the quests. Gearbox has unleashed the sequel and its better than the first in every way. Here's my verdict: <br /> <br />The Good: <br /> <br />-Graphics: Pandora still looks amazing, alot of new places add some color to the old grey color we were used to in the 1st one. <br /> <br />-87 Bazillion guns: They weren't lying....there's a lot of guns in this game, every loot drop is different and could potentially be better than what you have equipped and that's an awesome feeling and keeps the game fun. <br /> <br />-Side Quests: While the Story itself is great on its own, the side quests steal the show, the amount of them is one thing, but whats inside is what makes them incredible. Some consist of parody's of popular franchises others are just friggen hilarious. <br /> <br />-Holy time consuming video games Batman!: Good luck cranking this game out in a day, Gearbox put A LOT of stuff to do, the Story itself will probably last you 30 hours on its own, with the side quests and other distractions? Lets just say you wont be showing up for work or school anytime soon. <br /> <br />The MEH: <br /> <br />-Catch A Ride: The Runner from Borderlands had rough handling and the bounced off walls like crazy...Well the Runner returns and the new Party Truck also feel wonky and the most you'll do with them is just driving to your next quests...not enough shooting with 'em. <br /> <br />The Bad: <br /> <br />-Not really any Wub Wub: Im perfectly fine with it, but Claptrap was a little disappointed. <br /> <br />Note: Didn't have enough room to put how great Co-op is and the how lack of level balancing make it annoying to play with higher/lower leveled friends. <br /> <br />Overall: Tons of content, loot finding is extremely fun, Great story and Side quests, Pandora is a gorgeous place with not so gorgeous people, Clap Trap(Interplanetary Ninja Assassin) is my new best friend. Its a BUY.

Very fun game. There's no getting around that, but it can become rather dull and difficult if you don't play it with other people. Co-op is a must! If you play this with others, you're bound to have a great time.

Rented this title and immediately purchased the game! Have played through once, am playing a 2nd time through, have maxed character out at 50, buying addon packs, starting a new Psycho Character. <br /> <br />All in all it has HOURS of fun. The main quest only has a ton of game play, but add in the side quests and you have literally days of non-stop playtime. <br /> <br />There is a fantastic mix of humour and fighting. Strongly recommend this game, and the DLC for it is extensive as well (AND reasonably priced!).

I got this game through Gamefly in my mailbox on release day (boy was i surprised) and the very next day i pressed keep. This is a great game to play online ith friends or even locally if you don;t mind having the screen split up. The game play in this particular title is rather simple. Get guns, use guns, get better guns, repeat. But that simplicity isn't a downcoming at all. its a strength to me. it make the game a kind of mindless lootfest that alot of people, myself included, find fun. The gameplay may be a pit simple, but the graphics are great. Im really glad that this game kept the cell shaded kind of look from the first game. it makes all of the colorful creature and locales really pop. The music and the voice overs and writing that goes over it are top notch. You'll find your self humming the songs and laughing at the dialog more than once in this game. If i had to say something bad about this game it would be that the game can get a bit repetitive in repeat playthroughs, and also that i did buy the game early and i fell a bit sad that its is so cheap to buy now. You can find the game and all of its first season DLC for around 20 bucks on sale sometime. All in all its a great game and a great time is to be had with it. 9/10

Great game! Thousands of weapons, scenarios...

this is a must rent no better yet a must buy very good story good gameplay good game i give it a nine

Great game to jam out to. Easy to get picked up in a multiplayer game. Great story line. Some funny one-liners

Borderlands 2 is a great, great game. It has all the elements of a great first person shooter. Graphics, physics, maps, sweet guns, good aim system, and a good melee system. I'm really diggin' this game. However, the only problem I have with it is the difficulty of it. I'm a level 12 sniper, and I'm currently at a part in the game where you fight a level 13 robot. I can barely even damage the dude. It's unbearable. I NEED to have my roommate play with me for me to be able to beat the bosses in the game for the most part. That's my only issue with the game, though. Solid buy. GET IT.
