"Buy It!!! Great game well worth the money"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I have not played Borderlands 1 and bought this hoping it would be worth its money. It definitely was, the characters, storyline, detail and guns makes it a amazing RPG mixed with a FPS. The single player is great but the co-op and online multiplayer is even better. The storyline is long which is great and it seems there will be much to do afterwards. 9/10

"The best just got better"
5 stars"

I've now had the game 3 days and thanks to MApe's awesome service it arrived 09:30 am on the release day! Being hitting this one hard and so far EVERYTHING is better. Better class system, better guns, better story line, The new characters are great. The game loads much better than previous game. it seems to “pre-load” like GTA IV, in that it has one big load at the start, then much much smaller ones as you play. Yet it seems to read the entire game from Blue ray with a tiny 18mb install (not 6GB like the last).

If you haven't already, “get you sum” – Scooter You won't regret it.

Unlike other game FPSRPG franchises Borderlands was a complete game, with few bugs, that really pulled off co-op gameplay. Loved the first and cannot wait for the sequal.

"Amazing game to play with friends"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Borderlands 2 is easily the best game I've purchased this year, its an incredibly good Action RPG, with great shooting and really interesting class customization options.

The random loot system is addictive, and while seeming unfair can keep you coming back for more. The game itself is quite lengthy, and even more so if you do everything the game has to offer. Although naturally the replay value increases exponentially if you have friends to share the experience with.

All in all this game is easily worth a purchase, although if you play purely single player you may want to give this one a little more consideration, as the game is very clearly meant to be played with friends.

"Fun game just dont expect it to last long"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Borderlands 2 was definitely a good game to which I'm glad I pre ordered, however this was let down a bit later on after the first month or so of play. I found that the cell shaded graphics were stunning and visually pleasing besides the un patched blops throughout the game. The split screen really made it a fun competitive game with mates in a fight to who could get to the chests first and who would get the better loot. This was all slightly spoiled by the sad re play of the game where everything was exactly the same just a few names had been changed which I was kind of expecting anyway. Besides that Borderlands 2 is a great game but would recommend for split screen game play as single player almost feels lonely in such a large environment and only play can be very on and off

"More of the same. Which is a very good thing"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Borderlands one was an insanely fun game. What really set it aside from other FPS's and RPGs was that it didn't take itself seriously. You were playing it to kill stuff and loot, so that is what it gave you. Borderlands 2 has taken that concept and expanded it without losing any of the features that made number one so fun to play. Hilarious NPCs, bazillions of guns, interesting skill trees, this game has it all. And as an added bonus, it has the ability to play multiplayer splitscreen (a feature sadly missing from a lot of games in this age of online multiplayer). If you like fun games, buy this one.

"Absolutely thrilling game full of excitement around every corner"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Great game, super fast shipping and arrived in immaculate condition. Just finished playing through the game now, and it was amazing and thrilling every step of the way. Would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys adventure games. The story mode multiplayer is an awesome as feature that not many games at all offer. The character development is also very deep and great as well, allowing so much in-depth upgrades and improvements in your preferred/chosen area. 5 stars all around. A timeless classic.

"Best value for money ever."

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Hours and hours of addictive, post-apocalyptic shooting and looting fun! Best first person shooter series I've ever played.

"Way better than the first"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The first was fantastic, this is somehow even better. Love the look and the feel of the first and the ramshackle design aesthetic carries across into this new series of adventures. Cant wait to finish it.

"Awesome game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I love it! It's great to play multiplayer and by yourself. The missions are fun and at times, difficult. The challenge is there and the extent of developing your character is vast. One of my favourite games.

"Oldie but a goodie"

For an old game, this is refreshing to play and still offers excellent shooting scenes and variety of action

"Great gameplay"

Really enjoying this game and the multiplayer element is fantastic as well.

"Really great Game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Borderlands 2 is a fantastic game with an interesting and immersive world with hours upon hours of game play to entertain. You can play as any one of four classes and do up to 4 player co-op which is a great way to play. I would rate this game a 9.5/10, A brilliant purchase

"best game"
4 stars"

Borderlands 2 has, quite rightly, decided to stick to its guns. It's just made the guns better (and the gameplay slicker).The single-player game is significantly longer, even without the countless hilarious side missions, and takes place all over the planet Pandora, which now seems to have added glaciers and green fields to its previously unending deserts.

Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game, though I've only played a small portion of it, is freakin' fun. I seriously suggest, before even reading this, you click buy. Right now. Otherwise Marcus will shoot you. If you didn't get that reference, then you need to buy and play this game. There's no escape, this game is so FUN. Playing with a mate is even more fun, especially if you can sit down over 5 or so hours and whack out a good chunk talking via headset. The loot grabbing, bandit shooting, skill gaining goodness of this game is extremely addictive. The humor is hilarious. The art style is breathtaking. The music suits everything perfectly. If you've been looking for a co-op sci-fi space western first person shooter role playing game then look no further ;D
