  • Our take on the Borderlands: the Pre-Sequel Video Game PlayStation 3

    Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a 2014 first-person shooter and loot game for PlayStation 3, set between the first two Borderlands titles and following Handsome Jack's rise on Pandora's moon, Elpis. It keeps the series' cel-shaded look and random gun drops, and adds low-gravity movement, oxygen management and butt-slam attacks. Four playable characters include Claptrap and Wilhelm, each with three skill trees. It is a shorter, more experimental entry than Borderlands 2, and reviewers called it a solid but familiar expansion-sized game best suited to fans who want more of the same shooting and loot.

    Questions and answers

    Is Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel worth playing?
    Yes for Borderlands fans who want more co-op shooting and loot. It is shorter and more familiar than Borderlands 2, so it suits players who already like the formula.
    Do I need to play Borderlands 2 first?
    Not strictly, but it helps. The story sits between the first two games and explains Handsome Jack's rise, so Borderlands 2 context makes it richer.
    Does it support co-op?
    Yes. Up to four players can play the campaign together online, and split-screen co-op is supported on PS3.
    What is different from Borderlands 2?
    The moon setting brings low gravity, oxygen management and butt-slam attacks. Otherwise the gun loot, cel-shaded art and mission structure are very similar.
    Which characters can I play?
    Four: Claptrap, Wilhelm, Nisha and Athena. Each has three skill trees and a distinct action skill.
    Does it include the DLC?
    The base game is a standalone disc. Extra campaign add-ons were sold separately, so check which edition you are getting.
    Where is the Borderlands: the Pre-Sequel Video Game PlayStation 3 cheapest?
    At Best Buy, for $19.49, as of our latest check.
