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:
I'm a "silver" gamer (age-wise) so this game's hip-hop, rap, gang warfare and 'gangsta' culture is a bit out of my usual line of interests as RPG player.
Many people have compared GTAIV with Saints Row 2 (SR2). I do have and enjoy GTAIV, and I am sure enough has been said on the quality and content of that game.
SR2 I agree has a similar structure but excels in irreverence, humour, lunacy and great action which combine to make it a very different game, and one I find great fun to play. Oddly, graphics vary from very good to rather PS2 level, but after I while I tend not to notice. However during the FMV movie sequences your created character remains in the looks and clothes you give him (and the weather / surroundings also maintain continuity). Many games do not achieve this and I really like that touch.
Apart from some niggles and frustrations, I find game play fun and the AI of non-playing citizens of Stilwater provide many chuckles. For instance I paused to watch a fire-eating juggler perform (a bit surprised to find this in a game) only for a passer-by to catch alight, scream, run into my character setting him on fire too. All sorts of little surprises like this pop up.
AI can also be dumb, like a shoot out at five paces with machine pistols. It takes a few thousand point-blank rounds to persuade the target he is supposed to be dead!
There are an immense range of motors from sludge lorries to motorbikes, missile-equipped helicopters, jet skis, etc. Powerboating at speed with SR2 presenting stunning views of sunset over Stilwater (graphics were spot on, there) took me right back to Miami Vice days (and the nearest I'll ever get to owning a powerboat).
I do get frustrated over driving - vehicle steering is just awkward on the PS3 and it really should be better. Maybe THQ could patch this? There are a number of glitches - finding one person half buried in a mall pavement but yelling on a mobile was weird. I also find the character creation wardrobe element buggy and prone to crashes. Save regularly. These reduce my overall star rating.
I rarely do on-line multiplay so I can't comment on that. This is not a game for youngsters - the language is strong and there is a great deal of violence. Stick to the age limit please.
I bought this because other reviewers highlighted the irreverent fun of it. They were right and I am really enjoying SR2 and even its 'gangsta' theme. I am now anticipating SR3...
UPDATE: One year on, storyline well completed. I'm still pottering around Stilwater finding new things, acquiring cars, boats and planes, customising things and my character, and having a great time. This game is a gem.

Fun:
As a GTA IV player, I was disappointed in the graphics but the gameplay is quite good. I like the amount of cheats and available and the fact you can customize your man (or woman). Would recommend it for people who enjoy sandbox type games.
Fun:

A poor version of GTA SA
This game is without a doubt in my mind, a poor version of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. The game Graphics are horable, with washed out crapy textures. Read more

Firstly let's get this out of the way. It ain't as good as GTA, but it doesn't try to be.
