DualShockers: 6.5 / 10 by Ryan Meitzler

Game Revolution: 3.5 / 5 by Nicholas Tan

If you're a Borderlands fan who's looking to scratch that itch for loot-based four-player firefights, then this will serve your needs well until the next core installment in the franchise. Otherwise, you're better off waiting for the inevitable Game of the Year package. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel fails to reach the stars, but at least it maintains orbit.
