And general mayhem-making you could want. Online and local co-op play. Multiple difficulty settings.

Intelligent GPS.
Satisfying combat
Tons of variety
Zombie Uprising is awesome
Coop mode is a blast
You can throw people 20 feet.
Exceptional Character Creation
Tons of Missions
Activities and Diversions
Tons of Customization
Laugh out Loud funny (if you have a somewhat sick sense of humor)
I’ve said this already
But I can’t stress how much I appreciate a good charactercreation tool in a game like this. It’s not that I’m against games with an interesting character
Much less ones whose stories are predetermined (i.e. most nonWestern RPGs)
But I’d rather play as a creation of mine instead of a generic
Dull character
Such at the one in Star Wars
The Force Unleashed
The editors didn't like
Some mini games are repetitive or frustrating. To pull off good aiming and steering simultaneously
Youd need extra thumbs.
Low-brow humor gets old rather quickly
Graphical glitches and collision detection issues
No talk radio.
Friendly AI is frustratingly stupid
Multiplayer is forgettable.
A few collision detection issues
Colors appear washed out at times
Since the marketing on this game is designed to rag on Grand Theft Auto 4
Lets rag on everything else in this game that doesn’t measure up to Grand Theft Auto 4
No matter how petty or insignificant
Terrible radio stations with boring DJs
Unfunny commercials and mostly bad tracklists
Clipping up the arse
Bad enemy AI that has a habit of standing still while you gun down their homies

Abstract: When the original Saints Row came out two years ago, it served to placate fans until Grand Theft Auto made its next-generation debut. Saints Rows deviant destruction didnt push the boundaries of what to expect from a free-roaming urban assault game, ...
Abstract: Rising above its flaws, Saint’s Row 2 is an addictively over-the-top sequel that proves that bigger is definitely better. With more side missions, deeper customization features, more vehicles and bigger environments, its easy to overlook the glaring fl...

Low-brow humor gets old rather quickly; graphical glitches and collision detection issues; no talk radio.
Saints Row 2 is your second chance to live the life of a gangster on the streets of fictional Stilwater. The comparisons to Rockstars Grand Theft Auto series are obvious, both being sandbox games where youre free to roam the streets of a sprawling ur...

Anyone disappointed that GTA IV left behind most of the silliness and anarchy of its PS2 past will love Saints Row 2, but don’t expect anything especially polished. It’s rather too similar to its prequel. 7.9/10Print this pageUser reviews (2)S...
