So Borderlands 2 currently, is scoring 90 on 360, 92 on PS3 and 89 on PC at Metacritic so to save you the time I have rounded up a selection of those reviews.
The question is, if you are not getting it, why not?!

Pandora feels more like an actual place than a virtual battleground, thanks to Gearbox’s attention to detail in this game…I mean, when was the last time you cared about the name of any gun manufacturer in any shooter you played recently? Listen, I’ve played the heck out of the COD: MW titles, and I’ve used a TAR-21 more times than I care to mention, but I couldn’t tell you who manufactured it… The gun-makers in Borderlands 2 don’t even exist, for goodness sake, and I’m already brand-loyal to one of them.

Borderlands 2 might not develop extensively on its forebear, but it has even greater power to hold you for hours on end, deftly weaving RPG stat development with skill-based play. It’s enough to make every decision you make meaningful and fun, and lend the realisation that Gearbox knows more about the fundamentals of the shooter than almost any other developer.

Borderlands 2 is full of memorable moments and silly, crass folks – and if those silly, crass folks happen to be your friends, it’s easily one of the best co-op experiences out there, and one of the best games I’ve played all year.

A few relatively minor complaints aside, Borderlands 2 improves not only the narrative, but almost every major game system. If you’ve been itching for a reason to jump back into the world of Pandora, Borderlands 2 provides a more than ample supply.

We also take some issue with Borderlands 2′s sense of humour. While it’s welcome, it draws so frequently on up-to-the-minute memes that it becomes hard to remain immersed in an experience supposedly taking place in the distant future, on a remote planet, and among people who have no reason to understand the significance of an arrow in the knee. Most of it’s just not that funny.

Borderlands 2 is a better game in most of the ways that matter, but some of that is brought down by the familiarity of the experience.

Dishonored, Hitman, Halo and Assassin’s Creed. Come on Stu!
I`m tempted, but I didn`t enjoy the first one.
those dog things pi$$ed me off.
some good games on the horizon still and I havent played ME3 yet but for me this is hands down GOTY so far.
I’ve only played it a little bit so far but it seems to be genuinely funny and they even acknowledged the dissappointing ending of the first game in the opening demo.
This game took me a bit to get warmed up to since it takes till about level 10 to really start feeling like the game is not just ‘trying’ to make you miserable. I even played this with my GF and it was the same thing, until level 10 (different character) we were both frustrated and fairly annoyed as the game just ruthlessly hammered us. Sadly when my GF asked me if she was getting better I just kind of shrugged because it did not matter anymore since our weapons had just gotten better… so we really did not need to…
Regardless of that disturbing realization that makes me loath loot related games to begin with (the fact you do not get better but your tools do), I am enjoying the game and it’s largely to do with the humor and the gameplay is solid. I highly suggest getting the game but warn that about the first hour or so is going to be a test of your patience because it’s not nearly as much fun as it could have been.
