Mar 15, 2018So far it's the best Vita first person shooter. It's the full game plus two expansion packs and all the characters plus character DLC. A must buy.
-
May 13, 2014Amazing. Such a big game in such a small device. Some critics have largely exaggerated bugs and the impact they have on the overall performance of the game. It plays great, and it feels like Borderlands 2 should. Like I said, it is amazing, truly a job well done.

May 7, 2014I feared that this would be a terrible port since the day it was announced, but I was wrong to fear, this is a great game and port. This of course is not its console or PC counterpart, it has had to make many sacrifices to run smoothly on the handheld. The graphics are a significant downgrade from the console version of the game, but the gameplay remains in tact. Great port, 9/10.

May 11, 2014I am not a fan of FPS by any means, but I got this in the bundle, and decided to try it out. Despite the frame rate issues, this is a pretty awesome game. Big environments, quality voice work/sound and tight controls. It's a great AAA game for vita, and has me checking out its console relatives.

May 11, 2014This game is the best vita game available on the market. It is a must have in your PlayStation vita library. You should buy a PS vita just for this game!
-
May 13, 2014BL2 is a great vita game definitely a must buy for vita owners , impressive graphics and runs smoothly but with a few frame drop issues. There's so much content to play through its amazing how they fit this on a handheld this is one of the best games on the vita. I'll give this a 9/10

May 14, 2014Very good game, graphics are pretty, and gameplay is fun. It is obviously scaled down for the vita but is still a great and fun game. While I have yet to play a console version, I bought the ps3 version just because of this.
-
May 16, 2014Best Vita game ever, and I have them all. GET THIS GAME! GET IT GET THE GAME. I AM AMAZED BY THE FACT THAT THEY GOT THIS RUNNING ANG LOOKING SO GOOD ON THE VITA. ITS BORDERLANDS IN YOUR HANDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

May 12, 2014Fantastic port of Borderlands. Who could expect better from a mobile version that is the full console version? Graphics are great, controls function much better than I expected, and there is a ton of content to chew through. I encourage any Vita owner to get this great game.
-
May 14, 2014Great game , the vita's best along with killzone mercs, Don't trust the IGN review (the worst reviewer i have ever read) and buy this now. Slight issues with framerate but no big gamebreaker. How they squeezed this onto a vita I never know ! Now more big AAA games on vita please.......
10/10 -
May 6, 2014This is definitely borderlands 2 the way that you remember on consoles. A couple tweaks in controls which are customizable, and some other small things that just take some adjusting to are different. But this is not a watered down version from what I've played so far. Good times.
-
May 9, 2014I still can't believe I'm playing this on my Vita. Just finished killing Bunker, and I am loving it. Plays great. Looks amazing. I hope they bring more Borderlands content to the Vita!
-
May 8, 2014Great game that suffers from some frame rate issues, Packed with content and everything feels very borderlands. Check nyu727 on youtube for a more in depth video review.

May 14, 2014The frame rate is not nearly as bad as some reviews lead you to believe certainly playable and lots of fun one of Vitas best. I own it on Pc but this seems like a fine trade off to play it on the go. Kids these days don't remember playing really choppy games like perfect dark.

May 13, 2014Well, everyone's just hatin on this game even though it has some bugs and glitches and framerate drops but this is a good game for the vita I don't care what anyone thinks I can play with low framerate and bugs and still enjoy a game.

May 12, 2014Put aside the occasional hiccup in frame rate or audio cutting out, it's still pretty fun. Been playing my vita a lot more since this release. Not sure why ign gave it such a low score.

May 12, 2014Yeah sure there are some issues but the game is a lot of fun and looks pretty good. I think some reviews to date are too harsh. Mind you I never played on the consoles or PC.

May 15, 2014Yes, Frame is not happy with, but it still is borderlands 2 with 6 dlc.
Good enuf if u are BL 2 fan, ps vita version will bring u joy on the way to the office. -
May 16, 2014After reading all these bad critic reviews I was scared to buy this game but then decided to get it anyway and try it. I do not know what they played but I have original vita and downloaded copy of game and it runs great my only issue is I throw a grenade by accident every now and then. If you are on the fence about buying its definitely worth it.

May 31, 2014Very Clear that this game is not getting fair reviews going by what the most review sites are putting out.
Personally i think that its a fine game on the vita, controls are a bit weird at first till you figure them out.
All in all the game runs smoothly and looks good.
Don't be put off by so many negative reviews. -

May 12, 2014despite some flaws this is a really good port. it comes with several dlc packs, including both dlc characters. there is some frame rate drop, but not often. the graphics are ok, but can't really compare to the consoles or pc version. the controls can be remapped however you want, and controls very well. the only other negative is that co-op is restricted to only one other person .

May 14, 2014AMAZING GAME!
DONT LISTEN TO THE CRITICS. they don't even really play vita games anyways! they dont know a good game if they seen one,
the only negative thing about this game is the frame rate drops sometimes! big deal! its hardly any lag at all.
Graphics are great on the vita screen! try it for your self. im telling you its one of the best vita games ever! -

May 21, 2014BL2 for the ps vita is great for what it is. Borderlands on the go. Sure there are some framerate issues and the graphics are obviously downgraded but the fun is still here. Controls take some time to get used to but I love that you can customize them. It's a solid 7, no higher no lower.
-
Jun 1, 2014Excellent port, perfect for the vita. Disappointed initially by the bad reviews but still bought it and I'm glad I did, I suppose that reviewers are giving scores in comparison to the ps3 version but they shouldn't. Still, I played for 10 hours and can't understand where they saw all these graphics/fps problems they mention.
In my opinion, a must have for this console. -

May 13, 2014Great Version. Just remember people, your playing it on a hand held device not a home console. What did you expect?
A handheld PS3? I have one of those, it's called a PS3. -

Jun 1, 2014Other than a few bugs here and there the game is excellent, I see no reason why critics gave it a low score. There is no problems with frame rate and I have no problems with the back touch panel.
This game is a must buy for Vita owners, honestly forget what critics say and try for yourself. -
May 29, 2014I was nervous when i heard that borderlands 2 will be ported to the Vita, worried that one of my favourite games will be ruined. luckily, that wasn't the case ! don't believe professional critics, this game runs smooth, looks and plays better than on my Laptop (Dell Inspiron n7110). this is a must buy to any BL2 fan, having a Triple A game on the go? YES PLEASE! well worth your money.
-
Jun 1, 2014This is the best ps vita port of any console game ever. Do not believe any of the reviews from ign, gamespot etc It is mental to think that some of the major game review sites have slated this game because of the GRAPHICS! there are not that bad! there are good enough and you have the whole game in this package on the go, on the bus on the train etc anyway you want! so it is an amazing deal!!!
-
May 14, 2014I was REALLY dissapinted over this game. Its nothing what i wanted, Random frame rate drops graphical glitches all over the place, but still the game isnt bad if you want a real FPS on your get Killzone: Mercenary runs better plays better.

May 12, 2014Absolutely terrible game, with frame drops all over the place, absolutely tiny text that's nearly impossible to read, and an awkward control scheme that leads mostly to frustration.
-
May 13, 2014It is always good when third party devs support the vita. While it is a good thing Borderlands 2 came to vita, it is not all fun and roses in the performance department. Nevertheless, this game looks great on your vita. If you can forgive that framerate, you will have a great time.
Pros: Looks really good on the OLED screen, Borderlands on the go
Cons; The lag makes aiming a chore -
Jun 4, 2014This game can easily be forgiven for the little let downs. Once about an hour in your fully sold and ready to put in many more. A great buy at only £20 for a near console quality game on the go.

May 27, 2014Hey this game is ON THE ****ING VITA!!! Yeah it's not as good as it's console/PC counterparts BUT that doesn't defeat the fact that an open world action RPG shooter is PORTABLE!!! It's a great game to showcase the system's capabilities. Yeah the controls can be a bit wonky but so what?

May 17, 2014Coming into this knowing that it's a Vita game, I'm really enjoying it. It's a solid and impressive game. The draw distance is great and the fact that I have a decent open world FPS running on the Vita is amazing. Quality-wise, it looks better than Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, which is the other open-world Vita game that comes to mind.

May 19, 2014It's Borderlands 2, but available for you to play anywhere in the world! It is must have title for all Vita owners and the Vita really needs all support it can possibly get in the form of this game and upcoming games. Greatness is coming to Vita and Borderlands 2 started this road excellently.
-
May 19, 2014I'm writing this review from my Vita right now. Why? Because I haven't been able to put it down since Borderlands 2 came out on Vita.
Who should buy this game? People with a Vita, people who like Borderlands, people who like open world games, people who like games, and people who like fun. Who shouldn't buy this game? EVERYONE should buy this game. -
May 19, 2014Incredible they (Iron Galaxy) were able to port this to PS Vita. Together with the new Slim model a great opportunity to get on the 'Vita train'. Patch 1.02 is already out and Iron Galaxy seems to keep working on further patches to improve even more the performance. Borderlands is a blast and Vita gives us now the possibility to have that blast on the go! A must buy!

Jul 13, 2014As soon as you are used to the somewhat clumsy controls, Borderlands 2 on PS Vita is again a great adventure that keeps you engaged for more than 50 hours.
-
Jul 8, 2014Framerate issues and miniature texts bordering on the unreadable indicates that this is (sadly) just a quick and cheap port that’s a far cry from the majesty of the full-fledged versions of the game.

Jul 8, 2014Not so nice to watch, hard to handle and full of glitches, this new entry isn't really what we were waiting for.
