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.
