    Amazing game, but not perfect

    Borderlands 2 is an FPS in which you get to choose one of 6 classes: Commando, Gunzerker, Siren, Assassin, Mechromancer, or Psycho. It isn't a perfect game but it is a very fun game. Even after you finish the main storyline there is lots more to do. Pros: More than one playthrough. The first playthrough is Normal Vault Hunter Mode. After that is True Vault Hunter Mode, which has more difficult enemies. Then there is Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. In UVHM the enemies scale to your level. However, even after that, you have more to do. Lots of legendary items. There are many legendaries that you can get. If you're gonna go after them, I suggest getting a Double Penetrating Unkempt Harold, or DPUH, first. It's a great gun. Jokes are put in at the right parts. The DLCs with spoilers to the main story are at the level you are expected to finish the main game story at. In other words, don't try Hammerlock's Hunt or Tiny Tina Assault on Dragon Keep before level 30. No fall damage. Somehow get to the moon, and now have no way to get back? Jump to Pandora! You can move in Fight for Your Life Cons: If a boss named Terramorphous, which is a boss unlocked after the main game storyline, hits you too high, he regens ALL of his HP. The Terramorphous you summon at the start of the fight and the one you actually fight are different enemies. This means the Terramorphous you summon at first can attack you after you kill the one you actually fight. At least you can destroy the tentacles ee attacks you with. Master Gee, a raid boss in the Captain Scarlet DLC, can only be killed by: depleting his shield by 1 or 2 capacity at a time, or having him absorb corrosive pools. Bullets do NOTHING to his shield. The only way to make him get into the corrosive pools: Singularity Grenades. Master Gee holds an Ahab Rocket Launcher that is impossible to get. The Ahab itself isn't impossible to get but the ERROR MESSAGE, which is what the Ahab he holds is called, without cheating. Things in both pros and cons: Limited storage. This means you can't have 50 legendaries in your storage and farm more. You can only have 33-ish. I put this in both pros and cons because it makes you compare the items and see which is better, but you can't keep everything. I give Borderlands 2 a 9.5/10 because of the Terramorphous able to regen his HP by hitting you up into the sky too far, and Master Gee being the most time consuming enemy in the game.
