DESCRIPTION
THQ and developer Volition's answer to Grand Theft Auto returns for another over-the-top outing with Saints Row 2. After being betrayed by your former crew and left to whither away in a vegetative state, you awaken with a singular purpose: to reclaim your territory one brick at a time. The setting is once again the fictitious city of Stilwater, where you'll rebuild the Saints gang and eliminate all rivals who dare lay claim to your turf. You'll now be able to customize your character in an assortment of ways, from modifying his (or her) appearance to decorating "cribs" to acquiring the latest and greatest in criminal couture. The action is viewed from a third-person perspective as you explore a free-roaming city filled with vehicles, pedestrians, and police officers. Weapons range from high-powered tools of destruction, such as a mini-gun, rocket-propelled grenade launcher, and flame-thrower, to offbeat armaments like a stun gun, chainsaw, and defibrillator.
Previous visitors to Stilwater will notice the city has undergone several community-wide changes. Stilwater has grown in size and offers more things to see and do. The powerful Ultor Corporation has spent a considerable fortune in revitalizing the once stagnant city, and the business will become as much a hostile threat as the rival gangs you're looking to remove from power. New modes of transportation include motorcycles, boats, and aircraft. In addition to the main storyline, which features over 40 missions, Saints Row 2 includes various activities and "diversions" that involve racing, drug trafficking, going on rampages, and more. Combat also offers more options, from using human shields to firing weapons with precision targeting. The latter's "fine aim" technique switches the default perspective to an over-the-shoulder view. Saints Row 2 further distinguishes itself by including two-player cooperative action throughout the main campaign as well as competitive multiplayer modes via Xbox Live. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Admittedly I always felt biased when it came to how I feel about Saints Row over Grand Theft Auto. The truth of the matter is that in general I feel that the Saints Row games are just much more enjoyable then anything Grand Theft Auto has. However that doesn't necessarily mean that Saints Row plays better, it's just much more fun is all.
The story is simple enough and is always a bullet train to more action and gameplay. Some missions have a tendency to be harder then others, however if you play the side mission games to their fullest extent you receive unlockable abilities to make things easier. Truthfully you will spend more time playing the games to get the abilities then you will to earn the "respect" you have to have to play the missions. If anything missions should cost more respect that you earned in the side mission as you get higher in the chain. Simply because by the time I was less then halfway through the game I had developed "infinite respect" and could do whatever I felt like. Which honestly left all those "points" you earn for doing things to be well... pointless.
However even with that gripe it's still a fun game. Just being able to create your character, round up a couple people, and just do whatever you feel like with all cars, guns, and explosives you could ever need. This on it's own makes it somewhat better, admittedly, then then the structured "I need money to do this but first I need to hangout with someone so they like me" aspect of Grand Theft Auto IV.
And honestly that's what I like about it, in fact as soon as I am done writing this I'm going to go make my guy strip naked and go on a killing spree in Chinatown, killing every skinhead he sees.”

“hell damn yes!!! Best 5 bucks ever spent. This game is hilarious. I like how it picks up from the first. Some of the achievements are hilarious. I like how they've improved the aiming and shooting system. Plus the main protagonist finally says more than 2 or 3 lines of dialogue throughout the whole game. Love how you can customize your hideout. Even comes with a game-in-a-game Zombie Uprising (with it's own achievement btw).
Hell of a good sequel. ”
