A worthy successor to Saints Row, the first open-world title on next-generation consoles, Saints Row 2 features all new customization options, including player's: gender, age, voice, crib and gang. In addition, the sandbox just got larger with a totally transformed and expanded city of Stilwater, offering all new locations to explore with new vehicles, including motorcycles, boats, helicopters and planes. Saints Row 2 will be playable online in 2-player co-op through the entire singleplayer campaign or in the all new open-world competitive multiplayer mode never before seen in the genre.

Backstory
Five years have passed since your former Saints crew betrayed you. As you awake from a coma for the first time since that fateful day, you find the Stilwater you once ruled is in disarray. Unfamiliar gangs have laid claim to your territory, rival factions have taken over your rackets, and cash-hungry corporations have laid waste to your once proud 3rd Street home. Abandoned and left scarred with an unrecognizable face, you seek out a plastic surgeon to begin your new life on the streets. Yet some things never change in Stilwater.

Respect can only be earned and that requires a lifestyle that reflects your unique personality. Your crib, your crew, and your character define who you are on the streets and how you are perceived. The image you portray is as important as the decisions you make in a city ruled by false bravado and impulsive behavior. The only constant is the need for an identity that reflects your individuality. But style and image can only take you so far in a world where actions speak louder than words. Sometimes sending a message to your enemies requires heavy lifting, like that of a rival gang member into oncoming traffic. Respect in Stilwater needs to be taken, and what better way than to grab it from the hands of a gang full of enemies by means of a satchel charge, a flame-thrower or those minigun rounds you've been saving for a special occasion.

Meet Your Homies
But remember that the fight to reclaim Stilwater does not have to be waged alone. The Saints once ruled these streets as a crew of brothers, and their return to the top can help be secured through co-operative alliances. The time has finally come to seek revenge against your rivals to reestablish your crew as the rightful kings of Stilwater, but the streets are crawling with bangers. Check out the crews you'll run into and remember their faces and their ways:

The Third St. Saints - a gang of 'Saints Row 2' 3rd Street Saints
Once the kings of the city, the Saints have been forced out of their titular home of Saints Row by the Ultor Corporation, a giant conglomerate that gentrified the once poor neighborhood. Now operating out of an abandoned underground hotel, the Saints are looking to reclaim the glory that they lost several years ago.
The Ronin - a gang of 'Saints Row 2' Ronin
One of the newest gangs instilling fear in Stilwater, the Ronin recruit from both the city's Asian population as well as among the immigrants. Their crimes involve peddling vice through gambling, prostitution, street-racing, and protection rackets, and their power has reached even into the boardroom of corporations like Ultor.
The Sons of Samedi - a gang of 'Saints Row 2' Sons of Samedi
Influenced by Voodoo and a history of military corruption in Haiti, the Sons of Samedi are known for their potent combination of spiritualism and fearlessness. Members are attracted to the gang out of respect for their methods, through coercion or a desire for easy income generated through trade in their designer drug called "Loa Dust."
The Brotherhood - a gang of 'Saints Row 2' Brotherhood
Formed from the cast-outs and dredges of Stilwater society, the Brotherhood is a solid force of strength and intimidation intent on revenging itself upon the police and city. Specializing in violent extortion, they forego subtlety and nuance and simply take what they want, all the while flashing their allegiance with piercings and tattoos, bright colors, and gas-guzzling trucks.
The Ultor Corporation - a gang of 'Saints Row 2' Ultor Corporation
A ruthless corporate contender, the Ultor Corporation's gentrification of Saints Row created a new skyline for the city and a headquarters for their corporate office at the expense of the poor and the 3rd Street Saints. Now they're targeting another neighborhood, the Shivington projects, fueling gang wars and waiting for the prime moment to move in and reap the profits.
Key Game Features:
  • Freedom to Explore Through Open World Gameplay - Balancing story progression with all the time-wasting mayhem imaginable, Saints Row 2 contains more activities, diversions, races, cribs, city districts, and interiors than ever before.
  • Extensive Mission Play - Over 40 story missions with additional bonus missions take place in a transformed Stilwater that is over 50% larger than before.
  • Limitless Customization - Saints Row 2 allows you to customize everything connected to what you wear, drive and where you live as well as gives you access to countless character combinations from facial expression, body type, voice, taunts, gender to walking style. In addition, players can customize gangs various and extreme physical looks (some pretty crazy), fighting styles, gang taunts and tags and vehicle preferences.
  • Improved Combat Functionality - In addition to the usual run, jump, punch, drive, stab, shoot model of combat, Saints Row 2 allows you to take human shields and exact finishing moves if you choose, but beware. How you commit crimes affects your notoriety, which determines the response of police.
  • Expanded Multiplayer options - Along with a compelling singleplayer mode, enjoy a variety of multiplayer play options including:
    • Strong Arm: A team-based multiplayer mode batching together prominent activities from the singleplayer campaign into one series of timed events, with the goal to earn the most cash as a team at the end of the events.
    • Gangsta Brawl: A standard deathmatch mode with the single player with the most kills winning.
    • Team Gangsta Brawl: A standard team deathmatch mode with the team with the most kills winning.
    • Co-Op Mode: Full drop in/drop out coop support and ability to play through the full single player campaign with buddies and with the ability to set online co-op games to public, friends-only or invite-only status.
  • Lots of Wieldable Weapons - Whether you talking chairs, parking meters, street signs, newspaper dispensers or your neighbor's garden gnome, use whatever is on hand to take out an enemy.
  • An Explosive Weapon Arsenal - When a melee weapon just won't do, send a message to your enemies by dipping into an arsenal that includes: rocket launchers, shock-paddles, stun-guns, satchel-charges, mini-guns, uzis, automatic shotguns and flame-throwers; Some of which can be duel wielded.
  • A Vehicle for Every Surface - Put the pedal to the metal in a large selection of cars, motorcycles, ATVs, planes, watercraft and helicopters.
  • All New Music - Saints Row 2 will feature an entirely new soundtrack of songs and the ability to create a custom in-game radio station, accessible from any vehicle by building a playlist of songs purchased in-game, with in-game money.
The Silwater sprawled before you as you wake in Saints Row 2 is both familiar and strange, but you will find that the explosive conclusion to the original Saints Row not only has left you wounded and betrayed, but also thirsty for revenge. Now it's time to take back the city that has forgotten you and only you will decide how far you'll go to achieve that.

3 out of 5 stars Who brought the silly back?   June 20, 2010
Christopher Ross (ILLINOIS, USA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Saint's Row One was silly in every way imaginable. At first I could even say, I wasn't a fan. THQ took Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas over it's knee and simply... Well stole the entire creative process. I mean here was the HD coated version. Saint's Row (aside from the mini games and some other small tidbits) was essentially San Andreas.

This of course my friends can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on whom you ask. I myself enjoy more original content but to each their own. Right?

Well now that I got that off my chest let's jump into the second in the series. SR2 also known as GTA CLONE VERSION 2... Sorry. I meant to say GTA alternate version 2. Somewhere along the way Take 2 grew up and realized that Grand theft auto four would be a splendid story (and of course update gameplay) driven game. They coated the world with so much grime you could just about taste the dirt between your teeth.

What about the clone though? What about the little engine that could? Could Saint's row really find a niche category to flourish in?

The answer to that is simple. Yes, no and maybe. Ok not so simple but let's just say it is only because the game is so very different from GTA 4 that to continue to call it a clone would be like labeling Halo a clone of Call of duty. Silly right?

Needless to say this time around the Saints had a bit more trouble to merely absorb money from the "HD" crowd. Hands down GTA 4 looked better. But like judging a book by it's cover this proverb held true for the Saints. The game's engine may look a little dated. May even feel a little dated but one fact remains. The formula worked and was most importantly fun. Say that with me. F U N. Over the top madness fun. Throw yourself in front of oncoming traffic for insurance money fun!

Riding shotgun for drug dealers and burning people alive all in the name of zany wacky fun. SR2 never once takes itself all too serious. It has a mostly forgettable story line continuing those whimsical events occurring at the end of SR1 where you'll recall left the player disfigured and disjointed beneath the tide. When the story here begins you'll open up with a brand new option for reconstructive surgery and reassembling the old team of lowlifes and thugs. As you can see I wasn't really enthralled into the "Story line".

Again, if you want Narrative hit up GTA 4 instead.

But I digress; let's get jump back to the gameplay for a quick moment. Here we simply have a solid 3rd person shooter without cover (whoops!) but to make up for this misdemeanor SR2 has incorporated a human shield skill that allows you take anyone at pretty much any time as your personal bullet repellent. This works extremely well to keep you alive. Most of the other elements are the same as before (can recruit gang members, can drive any vehicle in game, can rob stores and take over neighborhoods, etc etc). If you played SR1 and enjoyed it you'll enjoy this one. If you hated GTA 4 (for it's over serious tones) then you'll enjoy this game. If you just outright hate all sandbox games well then... why are you reading this?

My overall opinion is something as follows. First game was a glaring money grab with only minor alterations. Saints 2 is a definitive edition when describing silly good fun at a cost. Graphics are shallow and outdated. The standard shooter gameplay is almost archaic in this day in age and the story is pretty weak. You can't win em all... Pegged at 75 (out of 100) and not a digit over. (That's like 3.75 stars Amazon!)

A minor note I did purchase the Collectors edition from Amazon at major discount. If you can find this still at stores I recommend grabbing one if the cost isn't more then the regular edition. It's not groundbreaking material but I do like the bullet and metallic casing contained here.

Many people compare this game to the GTA series, but this game does not even come close to the quality of GTA4 or even GTA:SA. First thing i noticed when i started is constant glitches, people and cars appear out of nowhere and draw distance is terrible. This game reminds me of crazy taxi for dreamcast because driving controls are the same for all cars and when you hit something the car bounces 100 feet. The only positive thing i found is the amount of customization on cars and there are different types of side missions you can play like spraying crap all over the city. If the graphics and controls were a little better , i would give it another chance.

Ok, here's the deal. You can do anything in this game. On the average day, I could leave my pimped-out crib in my birthday suit, flash a few old ladies, stop by the quickmart and grab a hooker, pick up some weed from the same quickmart, hop on a bike I stole from some rival gang members (I'm still naked BTW) and ride across town to do a mission, and, well, you get the idea. There is so much to do, it is overwhelming. In fact, I find it hard to figure out just what is going on in the game because I'm too busy with the side missions. And every day, I find a new side mission to play that's more absurd than the last. I mean, when the mission involves you wearing a flaming suit and driving an ATV across the city trying to blow up as many things as you possibly can, you start to wonder what kind of people think up this stuff.

As I said before, there is so much to do, who has the time? Some people play sandbox games for the story, while opting every now and then to get caught up in the absurd and do something they would never do in real life. Those people will like GTA better. Some people like sandbox games because they allow you to become super human and do whatever you want. Those people will like Crackdown better. And then there are people who like sandbox games because they do everything and find every secret and collect all the coins and finish all the missions, etc. Give them this game. I dare you. You won't hear from them for months. And when you do, don't be surprised if they're buck naked, speaking in ebonics, high, and on a bike.

Fun game, but very time consuming...pretty much the case for all games, but even more so for fun games.


4 out of 5 stars Best sandbox game around   April 13, 2009
C. Raley (Dallas, TX USA)
Saint's Row 2 is by far the best sandbox crime game at this time. It's a colorful, vibrant world. The nameless people in the world have enough personallity to make you feel like you are in a living breathing world.

The cutscenes are short and fun for the most part, and the supporting characters are very well done. The story is very easy to follow and keeps you interested.

The missions tend to be the same thing, drive here, blow up this, kill this guy, pick up this stuff, take it back to the hideout, and avoid capture. They are all fairly straight foward, but a few of them will test your patience. The activities are very well thought out. There are just too many to name, but my favorite would have to be the Insurance Fraud. There is just so much to do in this game.

The music selection is great. There are hits from many different types of music. GTA 4 had a decent hip hop selection but lacked any recognizable rock.

Overall I was very happy with my purchace. It doesn't take long to finish the story, but there is so much to do you may never be truely done with this game.
