If that’s not the case, have a read of our main Borderlands 2 review, then come back and check out how it compares to the original. For that reason, I’m going to assume you’ve played Borderlands 2 before on another format. It makes my job slightly easier as this can become more of a comparison exercise between the full console/PC versions and their little brother on the Vita. Despite the Vita’s relatively impressive specifications, I wasn’t sure how Iron Galaxy, the studio at the helm of the conversion, would manage to fit all that game on to one of those tiny little Vita cards.Ĭutting to the chase, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with what Iron Galaxy have managed to do. However, I’ve never played a game that has been ported to a handheld device before, and that’s the part that worries me most.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve played ports before – usually PC games which have been ported to a console, or vice versa – and, with the odd exception, they’re normally pretty decent. My second (and greatest) worry is that it’s a port. So when the chief said to me “ Ste, you incredibly sexy bastard, please review Borderlands 2 on the Vita for me, as I’m off to E3”, I did a little wee in my pants.

I was worried that my word-crafting skills wouldn’t be able to do justice to a series that is much loved here at GLHQ – our chief has famously played both games to death in its various formats over the years, while I merely own them on the PC. I was pretty worried when I picked up Borderlands 2 for the PS Vita.
