Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel gives you the ability to play with four new characters in a new world<\/strong>: the moon Pandora. New weapons and experiencing the struggles of low gravity are the main attractions in this latest installment of the saga.<\/p>\n The main feature is the exciting new world – Pandora<\/strong>, a low gravity satellite where high altitude jumps are the main attraction of the gameplay. There\u2019s also another interesting development: there\u2019s no oxygen<\/strong> in the atmosphere. Players have to get to oxygen stations when the oxygen meter tells them within the HUD.<\/p>\n Jumps and oxygen change the way you\u2019ll play Borderlands quite considerably, especially in the epic battles<\/strong> with four players against dozens of enemies, when you\u2019re flying through the air and shooting. These are, without doubt, the most glorious moments of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.<\/p>\n There are also lots of new weapons<\/strong>. The laser allow you to cut enemies, and with the weird weapon combinations you can also wield a laser weapon which can shoot acid fire. In addition, a new element, Cryo<\/strong>, has been added, so that now enemies can be frozen.<\/p>\n There are also four new playable characters – Nisha, Athena, Claptrap<\/strong> (the robot) and Wilhelm<\/strong>. Each comes with their own unique abilities, such as using drones and kinetic powers.<\/p>\n I played Athena<\/strong>, more by chance than by choice (demo stations were pre-allocated). I liked the power of her shield<\/strong>, which allows you to absorb bullets and throw your enemies. What surprised me during my fifteen minute demo is how varied and agile<\/strong> the game is. The aerial battles are fun and all the characters have a special move that lets them strike mid-air.<\/p>\n Yes, this is still a pure Borderlands. The mixture of RPG and action<\/strong> inside a giant co-op mode still works really well. There are shots fired at close range, dozens of enemies, and millions of weapons. The introduction of oxygen to the game component really gives a new layer of strategy<\/strong> to the fighting: it\u2019s easy to run out of oxygen in the heat of battle, and then start to lose energy. You\u2019ve got to stop everything you’re doing and find a source of fresh air if you don\u2019t want to die.<\/p>\n Graphically, it\u2019s very similar to the previous versions, so despite a few tweaks here and there, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is not a huge step visually<\/strong>. That said, it’s the recognized visual style of the franchise..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A lot of gamers have been eagerly awaiting Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel This third version isn’t so different<\/strong> to previous Borderlands, but it does have some interesting new features to amuse players. It goes on sale for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 17.<\/p>\n Find out more about Borderlands The Pre-Sequel in Borderlands The Pre-Sequel: the bad guys become the stars<\/a><\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter: @raulprz<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Set between the first and second Borderland games, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a new game designed to delight fans of the franchise.
