".incredible animation and remarkable voice work." In truth, it's a story you've heard a million times before, but the key here is that it's a coherent one, which puts it miles ahead of its predecessor. In the process though, Borderlands 2 carves out an identity all its own - as a sleek and stylish shooter that's easily one of the best games of the year.īorderlands 2 picks up almost directly after the events of the original - you play as one of four new vault hunters and through a series of plot twists and turns, you'll be quested with stopping the Hyperion corporation, who has all but taken over the planet of Pandora since the events of the first game and giving their douche of a boss Handsome Jack a messy and untimely end.
Borderlands 2 delivers on everything fans of the original wanted, and gives them more of it. It's an idea that apparently no one told Gearbox Software as their long awaited shooter, RPG hybrid Borderlands 2 is nothing but over the top, but that's the point. There's an idea out there that less is more - that subtlety trumps extravagance.
It's not only one hell of a shooter - it's also one of this year's best games. Rather than trying to redefine a working formula, Gearbox has just given fans more - more guns, more action, more loot - and that works very well. There's a lot more here than the game's marketing campaign lets on, including a surprisingly deep story and remarkably accessible yet deep character upgrade system.Ī fair warning, playing on your own won't be as much fun as playing with a group of friends, so you're going to want to find some fellow vault dwellers to tag along with. The animations are superb and mix well with the cell-shaded comic book style and the voice work is top notch. Borderlands 2 is a cleaned up, sleek and at times even sexy version of the original Borderlands.
