I'm playing it.... It's really good, lots of small improvements from the first. If you want an rpg styled game but with a bit more of a console feel then this is still the best game out there by a long way. There's four new characters to choose from, who are all pretty cool, but I do kinda miss the characters from the first.
Like Angra said though, ultimately it is more of the same. I played all the expansions in the first and still really enjoying the second. For me, I love the rpg style but don't really have the time or patience anymore to really get into pc rpg's so Borderlands 2, like the first, fills that gap..... The best thing about the second, for me, is you can system link two xbox's and have 4 players on two screens which you couldn't do in the first. I'm mostly playing it on weekends with a bunch of friends which is the best way to experience it, in my opinion.
If you enjoyed the first I'd pick it up when you're ready for some more Borderlands action and you wont be disappointed, but if you're done with grinding levels and smashing psycho midgets its probably worth giving it a miss.
