Run around. Shoot some dudes. Have a few chuckles along the way. It certainly excels at what it is trying to do. Not much else to it than that.

Bought it on console when it came out -- found the writing unfunny and horribly irritating, the voice acting and visual design merely abrasive when it didn't slide all the way into being directly unpleasant, the reward mechanics unengaging, and the gunplay mildly diverting but not particularly special. Bought it on PC years later at a huge discount, and discovered to my astonishment that I liked the gunplay a little better on PC.

A great sequel to the first Borderlands game and may even be better! The story is great and makes it hard to put the game down. DLC was more fun than Borderlands 1.
