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
Derivative design
Poorly structured single player game makes side missions mandatory
Unpolished graphics.
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: By now you’ll have probably heard that you can strip naked and streak along the streets to cause maximum offence. You’ll be more than aware that you can execute rude taunts at the touch of a button and go on a bloody rampage with a samurai sword. But y...
Abstract: The buzzword associated with the release of the first Saints Row was "clone." It had plenty of modifiers, too: proficient clone, adequate clone, and beautiful clone. But what happens when the clone starts to look less like a copy and more legit? If you...
Abstract: It’s simple enough to see from the outset that Saints Row 2 was never going to tackle the trials and tribulations of gangland America with any amount of gravity. And even though this is my first serious-minded foray into the Saints Row series (Cyril La...
Abstract: The original Saints Row was a solid action game that benefited from the fact that it was the only GTA-style sandbox game on the market. With its "gangsta" story and non-stop violence, it was easy to draw a direct line from Rockstar Games' popular franc...

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: Saints Row 2 has more than its share of technical problems throughout that hurt the experience, but when the over-the-top nature of the gameplay is firing on all cylinders, then it’s a blast.
Co-op play is loads of fun; jam-packed with content; good shooting and driving mechanics; intelligent GPS.
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...
