Borderlands 2 Reviews
While it is amazing that all of this content has been squeezed down to a portable version on the Vita, it has lost a lot of its luster in the transition. There is still a ton of fun to be had here, but this is far from what has come to be expected from a Borderlands experience and nothing near the quality on either the consoles or the PC.
It definitely has problems, but Borderlands 2 is still mighty fun
Borderlands 2 is unquestionably a better game than Borderlands. The new emphasis on elemental weapons and dismemberment make for better combat scenarios, and the constant character improvement is a great push forward for players looking for long-term rewards. But sticking around for those payoffs requires more patience than I'd hoped.
Borderlands 2 goes further than its predecessor in fun, humor, and scope, and if you value exploration and leveling up as much as shooting people, this is the perfect game for you.
If you loved your time in Pandora the first time around, you'll absolutely love Borderlands 2.
Borderlands 2 gives you more Borderlands. No more, no less.
Even though it feels familiar, the great dialogue and improved enemy variety make this sequel feel fresh enough to entice fans of the original and newcomers alike.
If you are up for a good laugh while shooting things in the face, Borderlands 2 is a worthy game to add to your collection. Soon enough, you'll see numbers popping above people's heads in real life and will feel compelled to search every Porta Potty on the street for cash.
Stellar writing and a host of small improvements help Borderlands 2 stand tall on the shoulders of its predecessor.
The important thing is, they are not enough to stop Borderlands 2 from being the best shoot n’ loot experience of 2012.
Ultimately, it has left me hungry for more - which is probably a testament to how potent a formula this is.
All in all, Borderlands 2 is fantastic fun.
Borderlands 2 is a denser, richer version of it's predecessor, never compromising on the gunplay that made the series worthy of a sequel.
Borderlands 2 is not perfect - but it is consistently excellent, and deserves praise both as a game and a great piece of progressive development.
Borderlands 2 is one of the unmissable videogame experiences of the year.
Compared to the dull, empty-eyed stoicism of so many triple-A games, it's still a welcome blast of idiot humour, too.
If you liked Borderlands, you’ll love Borderlands 2. If you missed out on the original, don’t make that same mistake twice.
Borderlands 2 is easily the most replay value you’re going to get out of a game that isn’t an MMO.
Nothing short of great and fun.
