SO MANY GUNS! Great multiplayer, awesome skill trees, high replay value.
User Rating: 9.5 | Borderlands 2 X360
Borderlands 2 is a huge improvement over the first Borderlands. The biggest improvements are in the campaign's length, the new guns, and cooler skill trees. The main story will take you a long time to complete and add in the side missions and you got yourself dozens of hours of play time. The guns have new company-specific perks that make identifying guns on the fly much easier. The new skill trees and abilities make combat much more fun and exciting. The mid-level "one-point-wonder" skills give huge boosts to your character's special ability and provides interesting skill combinations when you get to higher levels. The new "trash" system makes vending machine trips much quicker. The new UI is somewhat funky at first but once you get used to it, it is a very intuitive system. The new UI also makes split-screen menu navigation easier and more visible. All of the improvements make this a very smooth and very addictive shoot'n'loot that is well worth the price. The new DLC character, the mechromancer, has some very interesting skill trees (especially ordered chaos) that are guaranteed to change up your play style. I haven't gotten a chance to play much with her but watching her robot friend beat up enemies is very satisfying. I should get a chance to play as her more sometime this weekend so stay tuned.
