Borderlands 2 - Preview at CVG

CVG has penned a preview for this game.   Here's a tidbit:

For example, the enemy who has a midget strapped to a shield on his chest - you can shoot the tethers to free the midget, and he'll temporarily fight on your side to get revenge on his captor. It's clear that the game's sense of humour hasn't been lost, although the risible Claptrap robots are back. The community inexplicably loves them, but we can't say we're massively overjoyed to see their return. One of the biggest complaints about the original was the shonky car handling. This has been addressed, and you're now able to traverse Pandora in vehicles with responsive controls and the ability to drift around corners. In other words, it'll be fun.
