It definitely has problems, but Borderlands 2 is still mighty fun

While it is amazing that all of this content has been squeezed down to a portable version on the Vita, it has lost a lot of its luster in the transition. There is still a ton of fun to be had here, but this is far from what has come to be expected from a Borderlands experience and nothing near the quality on either the consoles or the PC.

Nothing short of great and fun.

Compared to the dull, empty-eyed stoicism of so many triple-A games, it's still a welcome blast of idiot humour, too.

Stellar writing and a host of small improvements help Borderlands 2 stand tall on the shoulders of its predecessor.
