People call this game a cash-grab, and it's true that the Shock-Drop Slaughter Pit was a terrible money-grab DLC. But the game as a whole is amazing, has WAY more lore and story than previous Borderlands titles, and it had LASERS. C'mon. LASERS. Also has more female vault hunters (yisss) as well as very NEW and CREATIVE action skills. Athena, Claptrap, Doppelganger, and Aurelia all have very new and original action skills that are completely different from those that came before. Overall very fun, story-driven Borderlands title that made laugh, cry, and jump for joy. Please ignore the haters.

I played this game for years as a little kid (elementary school age), and this game has given me so much. BG: Dark Alliance is literally the reason I love ARPGs like Torchlight, Diablo, etc. Amazing game, and the sequel is even BETTER.

The story is too basic, half of your allies are **** your Main Character chose to side with the bad guy kingdom instead of his family... the list goes on. But worst of all: Conquest was supposed to be "challenging." And chapters 1-9 were just that: difficult, made hard enough to test you considerably, but not unreasonable. However, chapter 10 was a difficulty spike the likes of which I had never seen before. It went from "difficult" to "psychopathically sadistic." I picked "hard" difficulty, and 1-9 were just that: hard. But chapter 10 took it up to Lunatic-difficulty levels. I have played the entire Advanced Wars series, and 3 fire emblem games before this one, and I expect better than this difficulty-spike BS from Intelligent Systems. 1/10 because I feel betrayed as a player, as a customer, and as a fan of the series.
