IGN, 9.2/10.
If you want to know what Borderlands 2 is all about, Campaign of Carnage is the perfect crash course. It takes the satisfying shooting action, the well-tuned loot hunt, and the inimitable character of the core game, amps it up, and beams it straight into your brain without ever stopping to breathe. Everything you love about Borderlands 2 is here in abundance. If for some reason you absolutely cannot stand its sense of humor, you may want to think twice, because it's as prevalent and over-the-top as ever here. Otherwise, Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage represents Borderlands 2 at its distilled, unapologetic best.
Crave Online, 8.5/10.
Overall, I enjoyed this DLC but have some concerns about the uneven difficulty. For a game that normally does such a great job giving players a heads-up when tackling an enemy beyond their skillset, it's disappointing to run into this brick wall. Fortunately, the storytelling and several hours of new gameplay make this a must buy for anyone who's finished the main storyline of Borderlands 2. For the rest of you, what the hell is taking you so long - finish the game, dammit!
Kotaku thinks you should play it:
Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage could've used the new vehicle it dangled in front of your nose. It could've used a new game mode. It could definitely have done with better loot, because even the vault's burst of new weapons didn't match up with what I already had in my inventory, a scenario that will likely be similar for many of you who have already dug lots of hours into the game. But even with the glaring omissions, it's hard to argue with the super burly dude who has a penchant for inserting curse words into practically every syllable. Seriously, don't argue with him. He yells a lot.
