Jan 15, 201369In terms of story, dialogue, and encounter design, this add-on pales in comparison to the rest of Borderlands 2. It's like the worst episode of a show you love -- it isn't quite bad, but knowing how good it can be makes it hard to get excited over.

Jan 15, 201380You'll laugh, you'll die, you'll blow the teeth out of a wandering Borok the size of a small camper van. Compared to the heights of Mr Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, with its masterful blend of Kayfabe jokes and sustained bar-fight intensity, Hammerlock can't quite match up. But it provides several great new reasons to return to Pandora, and that's enough to seal the deal.

Feb 9, 201385Tough foes make this the go-to expansion for high-level fighters. [March 2013, p.81]

Jan 15, 201370Unfortunately, the story feels just as half-hearted, and it's hampered by fast-travel locations and quest kick-off points that seem erratically placed.
-
Jan 23, 201345Enjoying Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt is about managing expectations, about knowing what you want out of Borderlands 2's constantly expanding menu -- its strong suits are the subtle twists on combat and enemy behavior, exploration, farming, and a hidden raid boss that costs almost 100 Eridium to spawn.
-
Jan 15, 201370A slight step-down from the previous add-ons but sill leagues above most other DLC, even if the whole great white hunter shtick sometimes seems ill-advised.
-
Jan 21, 201380Maybe the weakest Borderlands 2 add-on so far, but Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt is still greatly enjoyable with lots of side-quest, boss battles, new enemies and monsters and an hovercraft-like vehicle that we wish we could have from the start.
-
Jan 16, 201380Full of humor, challenge and loot. Another great expansion for a great game.

Jan 23, 201355While Sir Hammerlock may simply be "more Borderlands 2," it could have been a whole lot more, and feels a tad unfinished.
-
Jan 15, 201385If the bulk of Borderlands 2 had you laughing till it hurt, then this DLC will certainly continue that trend. A couple of balancing issues with the new enemies introduced, however, will cause some headaches and encourage you to race through more daunting areas.
