Critic Reviews for Borderlands 2
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 loved your time in Pandora the first time around, you'll absolutely love Borderlands 2.
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.
Stellar writing and a host of small improvements help Borderlands 2 stand tall on the shoulders of its predecessor.
Pick three friends, span the character classes, and get to killing. You won't be disappointed.
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.
