Fun multiplayer splitscreen. A little confusing at times with the menu system setup and acquiring new weapons, equipment and upgrades. I play it with my daughter. The menu system seems to be a bit confusing to me, luckily she has it down pat. Also- kind of on the annoying side- when you open up a container, and there's alot of them, the contents are displayed higher above and you must click again to choose if you want the item. So you look down to the container and then have to look up to see what's inside. This would be fine, and desirable, for the weapons or shields or other items you might not want to take- items that might replace something you already have equipped which is actually better, but for money or ammo it gets tedious. Of COURSE you're always gonna grab the money and extra ammo, so why make me choose?? Annoying, tedious. dumb....timewasting. Still a fun game. Wish they could change that, but if the disc broke, I'm sure I would be out buying it again.

It doesn't matter if your friend(s) are on the other side of the world, Borderlands 2 presents hours of fun with difficult, and disgustingly difficult challenges. You'll laugh and cry your face off! And it doesn't stop there! With seemingly endless amount of weapon types, there's no knowing what you may pick up next!

The gameplay is quite fun with lots of wit and unexpected remarks. The character customization is highly valued in this game, along with different weapons and armor for different play styles. The game story is pretty big, with lots of side missions to burn away hours as well. Overall very satisfied with my purchase, especially since I got it cheap on Best Buy Deal of the Day!

The borderland games are done really well in my opinion it's one of those games you have to approach with the understanding it's not your average game that it's crampacked full of secrets and computer generated graphics :)

I have never really been a video gamer but this game I can say changed that!! It's awesome! Took me awhile to learn to play since I'm no video gamer but with my bf helping me I caught on pretty quickly.

This game is a great combination of action and dark humor. Plenty of things to keep you busy. I'm not big on multiplayer, but it does have a co-op mode that adds another level and replayability.

The game graphics are definitely unique. The story mode is really fun and co-op makes it even better. If you are looking for a shooting game with cartoonistic graphics, this is the one to get.

This is a great game. I enjoy the gameplay if I am soloing or playing with friends; I have the same amount of fun either way. This game poses excellent difficulty and will keep the attention of any avid gamer if you don't start to feel the repetitive nature of the game. I will play this game for hours when I play it but it takes some serious desire to want to pick up the game again later for me.

Borderlands 2 is an amazing game with a beautifully artistic environment. I will say that if plan on purchasing this game to please purchase it with a friend that you can enjoy playing Co-Op with. Me and two of my friends played this together through 2 of the playthroughs and even completed all of the DLC that has been released just because the co-op draws you in that much. The only issues I had with it is that the level cap is only level 50, an increase on this would be nice and I do believe Gearbox plans on releasing this in the future, and also the extremely rare legendary loot only comes rarely, which is understandable because they are legendary after all, but sometimes I felt like some of the missions I completed just did not reward me in a way that I felt went along with how outrageous the boss fight or encounter may have been.

Borderlands 2 is a fantastic sequel to the first game that came out a few years ago. The characters are great, the missions are plenty, and the diversity of weapons will leave you satisfied. Overall, an improvement on an already successful formula. This one's a must buy!

Better than any other game I've played, love the fact that I can trade weapons with friends. Dueling friends to test out guns is awesome. Many game modes to play. For each one there is a higher difficulty and you get better loot.

This game blew me out of my seat. It was totally not what i expected. It was so hilarious and entertaining to play that i had my girlfriend pick up a copy so we could play co op together. Speaking of co op though, it is kind of weird match make because sometimes it'll match you up with someone who's a tad bit farther than you are in the campaign and it throws you off.No other complaints other than that. The sound was amazing and the game play was hilarious. The graphics are definitely unique. Pick this game up if you can.
