In Borderlands 2, you'll get to play as one of the four characters in a hectic, chaotic, yet hilarious first-person looter shooter!

Make new friends, equip bazillion of weapons, and fight alongside up to three others in co-op!
New, New, New!
There are four new playable classes in this entry to the beloved Borderlands franchise: the Siren, the Commando, the Gunzerker, and the Assassin! Each of them has a speciality, adding tons of replayability to the game!
Dynamic Co-op!

Go on a quest for revenge through the frozen tundra of Pandora! Expose the hidden evil within the Hyperion Corporation, and take on its nefarious CEO — Handsome Jack!
Even More New Stuff!
It's not just the arsenal of new guns and the new gun system you should be excited for — shields, grenades, relics, class mods, and much more cool loot is waiting for you in Borderlands 2!
Lively World
As you travel through Pandora, you'll cross all sorts of settings and terrains — from the frozen tundra to the dangerous grasslands and the corrosive caverns! This adventure will take you to all sorts of fun places.
Brand-new Enemies!

This game has a delightfully weird sense of humour and a really great level of customisation!
The story was well done and made the whole experience even better.

Borderlands 2's gameplay is what you expect from an fps looter shooter style rpg game. Dozens of quests to do with even more guns to choose from and not to mention each characters abilities. If you have played the first game you will love this second installment. Even if you're the gamer who likes the lore this game is just as good by itself.
