As an example of a mission that drove me nuts was body parts for Zed and getting Skag parts - I spent hours trying to find a way over the bridge to no avail (don't waste your time - there is no way over without doing other missions but it would be nice if they told you) and then what seemed to be about 4 hours doing side missions that finally filled the gap by fighting for Buzzard Choppers to force fill the gap in the bridge to get the Skag parts and once there it took about 30 seconds to gather - phew, talk about anti-climatic after hours and hours of battles!
The menu system is cool looking but can be confusing after playing B1 for nearly two yrs where I played all characters to level 69 PT2 it's challenging trying to figure weapon strengths and money accumulation seems a bit wimpy after 3 days. Wish they'd left the Menu navigation for weapons unchanged as you start from square one trying to figure what works and it makes it hard to decide on what to farm and sell for cash. This piece is dramatically different - for instance I've yet to see an elemental weapon have and X1-X4 designation to measure strength.
Hate the Mail/Pkg Delivery Missions on SOLO as they seem impossible and simply seem to be a waste of time that someone pulled from some old games I used to play and I hated them then and continue to - simply not needed and besides Co-op's can cheat at these missions whereas solo cannot.
KUDO POINTS (based on just a few days XBox AXTON (Turrets) Solo play and lots to come) include
Graphics are far superior
* Object gathering of money and ammo in open areas often is automatic even driving over gathers - contained items need the "X" pressed. Seems to be far less loot or the game is so much more difficult SOLO that it gets drained.
* Modifying your character is vastly more extensive with earned Bad*ss Points and Eridium = looong game play/replay.
* Vehicles Weapons operate much better and more manuerverable but seems to be far more bandits and air enemies than B1.
* Weapons are a learning experience but they are much better but still learning to judge - Sniper Rifle Critical Hits are way better - this is much improved as are the turrets. Many new weapons that are awesome and operate very differently but cool as hell with many. Love the new Homing imploding grenades.
* Massive numbers of new enemies and variety to learn.
* Enemy AI and movement is better/more illusive forcing use of Melee much more and their dialogue can be hilarious at times as they approach.
* Battles ARE much more intense and I mean HUGE compared to BD1.
* You have to earn your road kill - they no longer burst like bubbles - you have to wear them down with weapons and running over they feel more 3D during the kills - they get up and continue fighting if you fail to do them in while down.
* Holy Shit moments when you come up against some of the numerous spawning metallic enemies when trying to rescue Roland and that dang power core and the Constructor Bots that spawn thru-out.
* The guys with the Full Frontal Shields and the midgets strapped to the front is hilarious - Lot's of Humor in this thing.
* Still addictive though frustrating learning a totally new Menu System that looks great but tosses out what you spent a few yrs using.
* After playing for a week it feels like there's about ten times the enemies and if there are two playthru's the first feels like PT2 already.
* Tons of Aerial Enemies and situations where your fighting both land/air simultaneous and the Buzzards Heli's are pretty humorous.
* Following the mapping sometimes is the most frustrating part and Pandora World on this Game is VASTLY Larger!
In fact, before diving into any new area scout the landscape for cover and be prepared to run for cover since some of the Bosses having things like heat seeking missiles and laser fire that kills you in seconds.
Can harvest eridium in some boss areas like the small fortress adjacent to Pig Motel with a brief battle with Bad Maw and about 4 others gets 1 - 5 eridium via play, save and quit rinse and repeat - also at Eridium Blight there's King Mong that drops eridium as well as the slot machines at Moxxi's.
Love the Game even though half the time I don't know whats going on - it remains addictive FUN despite some of the frustrations and changes from B1 - I won't penalize any points for frustrations in learning new weapon menu's because so much of the friggin game is improved and in this day and age of 8 hour to completion video games this series remains an addictive looong play replay VALUE KING IMO!
Yes, the game has it's frustration doing it SOLO as did B1 but this is a vast improvement with tons of replay value - but it doesn't seem that I'm going to have endless loot like I did in BD1 doing it SOLO anyways. They put alot of work into this sequel - it's not your typical follow-up game this game is vastly improved but takes some patience to learn it's menu system and tons of new enemies/territories and challenges!
ENJOY! Well worth the money IMO!:D
But, I was looking for a good, cheap, co-op campaign to play with friends when we didn't feel like playing online matchmaking. BL2 became much more than a distraction, though, and is something we have been playing for a good year. Soon I will have completed the campaign for the 6th time, 3 times with two characters.
The characters available to play with have varied and relatively well-balanced skills/special abilities and can work especially well when varied in teams. Strategies really do change with characters, so even though I have played with two characters, my approach to situations in the game is very different depending on my character. For example, the Gunzerker has the ability to dual wield weapons (including while bleeding out), boost life regen, throw two grenades, increase damage/accuracy, etc. He's great for dealing fast damage, saving yourself from death (if you kill someone while bleeding out, you are alive again), distracting enemies from other players, etc. The Mechromancer deploys a killer robot that, among other things, can restore shields, melee attack enemies, shoot lasers, shoot balls of energy, etc. The robot is great for distracting enemies from everyone, helping out teammates, doing damage while you hide and restore health, dealing with pesky flying creatures, etc. I use those special abilities at very different times. In addition, you choose which skills to level up for each character and you can reset your skill tree for a low cost to experiment with different skill boosters. Do I want more gun damage for myself or a more upgraded killer robot? Depends on each person's play style.
The item system in this game, which allows for a virtually unlimited amount of weapons/shields/mods/relics. This keeps the game very fresh as you will never hit a point where you have seen every weapon and allows you to constantly be retooling your arsenal based on what you find.
The damage system, whereby enemies have different armor/shields that require different types of weapons to beat also means that rarely is it the case that you can find one killer gun that deals with every situation. Gameplay is very fun -- it finds the right balance between a run-and-gun and proceed-with-extreme-caution feel. You don't feel like you're flying too fast through missions, nor do you feel trapped/frustrated by enemies that seem invincible (well, rarely you do, by design -- e.g., bosses).
I think the co-op system has been executed flawlessly. You are not bound to the lowest common denominator in your party. If I am five missions ahead of another player, we can either start from my spot and he can play those missed missions later, or we can start from his spot and I will simply not be rewarded with mission prizes again. So, players of similar level can band together at any time and not worry about catching the weakest player up, which can be tedious and time consuming. I will say, though, that playing solo is significantly less fun than playing with others.
Finally, since I don't want this review to get too long, I will discuss the actual campaign. It's an open world type setup, but the missions are fairly linear and there is never a question of what you need to do next. At the same time, you can always take a break from the story and complete side missions, roam various territories, or simply hunt for treasure. With DLC, each character can play through the campaign three times on three different levels of difficulty. I have not found, even on my sixth playthrough, that I am tired of the game. Each playthrough feels fresh, especially with new characters.
I definitely recommend this game to anyone looking for a good co-op campaign. Even if most of your gaming is centered around online competitive multiplayer, as mine has been, this game is great.
Top reviews from other countries
Some say you have to play in group but i finished it with relative ease by myself.
To play solo, you have to do all the little mission so your character has enough level. Takes about 30 hours, Long solo game.
Great game, love the guns, the shooting and the voice acting. The story is not super elaborated but hey, you get to shoot lotsa creatures.
