The game features icy tundras, thick jungles and rocky mountains to explore

Features more dramatic natural architecture and imaginative character design. For example, when you free a captive they may temporarily fight on your side to get revenge on their captor.
Claptrap robots are back
Vehicles now have more responsive controls and the ability to drift around corners
AI foes are smarter, taking cover and working together intelligently
Enemies can now climb over complicated terrain
You can stun and cripple baddies with the new localized damage system
Old characters will return, but primarily in cameo roles

EGM’s TAKE: It appears that Gearbox have listened to the critics and is going all-out to fix many of the issues noted in the first game.
