This should have been the easiest sequel in the world to make but instead of another solid linear fast shooter, it's an overly convoluted co-op looter shooter with straight up mean spirited humor, atrocious voice acting and dialogue, bad mission structure, three maps that get reused constantly, inconsistent enemy design, and way too many redundant guns that expect you to mess with a tedious gem modding system for marginal stat changes. The ending is an embarassment and expecting people to keep going with New Game+ is the best joke the game's got.

It's a shame because I do think there's something to the core gunplay here, there's brief sparks where the wild chaos is somewhat entertaining even with the needless layers of systems on top of all of it, but it lacks tight cohesion and polish to really push it over that edge. Just go play Borderlands.
