Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Fifteen years after being left for dead by your former Saints crew, you awake from a coma to find your powerful empire overtaken by back-stabbing thugs, ruthless gangs and gleaming mega-corporations. Now is the time to seek revenge against your rivals to reestablish your crew as the rightful kings of Stilwater.
Product Description
Saints Row 2 brings true freedom to open-world gaming. Players can play as who they want, how they want, and with whomever they want in this sequel to the much acclaimed and tremendously successful Saints Row. Set years after the original, the player finds himself in a Stilwater both familiar and strange and challenged with bringing the Saints back as the rightful kings of Stilwater and bringing vengeance to those who wronged him.
- Limitless Customisation - Play as fully customisable characters that are male, female or something in between. Vehicles can be visually customised as well as performance tuned. Cribs and even gangs all have an amazing degree of detailed customisation options.
- Multiplayer - Co-op full story campaign has seamless integration, for example one player drives while the other shoots. Competitive multiplayer pushes the boundaries of immersion in a living Stillwater environment fully populated with police, innocent bystanders and rival gangs.
- Killer Combat and Awesome Vehicles - Planes, helicopters, motorcycles, boats and cars can be piloted and used as weapons. On the ground new combat options include melee, fine aim, and human shield.
- Freedom to Explore - More missions, activities, diversions, races, weapons, vehicles, cribs, city districts, and interiors than ever before. Over 40 story missions with additional bonus missions take place in a transformed Stilwater that is over 50% larger than before.

Fun:
Okay, first of all...I'm mildly annoyed that I bought this game over Games on Demand and paid double what Amazon are charging!! Guess I'll know to look here next time.
Still, the annoyance is kinda canceled out by the fact that this game is just so much fun. Where GTA4, with all its gritty brown filtered realism, looks better, SR2 looks more 'alive'. It's vibrant, at times mildly cartoonish, and takes itself way less seriously. There's just so much more actually happening in the game world, that you don't care that it's not photo realistic.
One of the best features SR2 has over GTA4 is the garage system - as in, it actually has one. You can store all the neat toys you buy/steal in your garage and access them from any crib/safe house. More than that, you can customize pretty much any vehicle, San Andreas style. In fact you can customize almost anything, from your character's appearance, to your crib itself. Some of these customizations/upgrades are really just visual and don't serve much purpose but it still helps you make the game your own.
The only bad points, are frame rate, graphic issues, and pop up. The game seems to run a bit sluggish sometimes, especially during cut-scenes (although you can turn V-Sync off for them and it helps matters, if you don't mind screen tear). It just seems weird to develop a game for a console that demands more than that platform can deliver. Weird.
There are also a few things that feel a bit rushed graphically. Rain stops falling on you when you take shelter...but it also completely stops for the rest of the world until you step outside again. Not a major thing but it sorta yanks you out of the game world when you notice things like that.
And yeah, the pop up is pretty noticeable sometimes. Not just textures but whole freakin' buildings. GTA4 at least felt a lot more fluid and continuous in the way it handled the sandbox environment.
Still, like i said, SR2 counteracts all of that with enjoyment. I've played about 5 or so hours, and I'm still finding new things to do - favorite so far being the demolition derby! There are also some nice references to Red Faction: Guerrilla (another brilliant game). Even some of the building styles in the corporate areas are exactly like the Ultor buildings in RFG!
Anyway, I know this game has been out for a while, and it has a few technical issues/weird graphics problems. But otherwise it's 95% kickass and will give you many hours of enjoyment. Go buy!!

Fun:
If you like GTA, you'll love this game. Get some weapons, get in a car, go shoot police. What more can you ask for? There are many missions and cash to be gained so that you can become the Don, customise yourself with clothes, jewellery, tattoos etc and visit the plastic surgeon if you don't like the face or body (or voice) you created for yourself. Many hours of fun for all the family.....

Fun:
Saints Row 2 has many pros and actually very few cons. I haven't played the first Saints Row but this game on it's own feels like an expansive game all in one package. You can customize your character in a highly detailed way such as facial features, tattoos, bling and a vast amount of extra clothing and accessories. I'm gonna be honest with you now...
I bought this game due to that I became intrigued by it's upcoming predecessor Saints Row The Third, however I most certainly won't be throwing this to one side when the third installation is released it is far to comedic and brilliant for that, whether it be the fun in game activities, cruising in your sports car, zipping around in a speedboat or soaring through the skies in a plane, helicopter or even a UFO ;).
Overall, even if you're a GTA fanboy (like me :P) Saints Row 2 and 3 will be excellent time killers up until the all important GTA V release. Thanks for reading.
