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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, decent play time. Easy to get into. , 30 Jan 2009
By P. Clifford (UK) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
The game is absolutely brilliant. It's like back to GTA:SA if you don't like GTA:IV. This game brings the fun back to the sandbox genre and it does it all really well.
It runs well on my PC. A little stutter when it loads up, but nothing to complain about. The pop-in is a little annoying. But it is so much fun you look past the little niggles.
If you liked the original or the older GTA's, you will love this.

It's a good price on here too!! :D

1.0 out of 5 stars Hugely entertaining premise; thoroughly shoddy port., 27 Jun 2009
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Saints Row 2 for the PC seems to be a genuinely entertaining and varied game, which goes all out to bring a huge dose of outlandish, tasteless, no-holds-barred fun to the (nowadays quite staid and establishment) sanbox genre.

Unfortunately I'm unable to pass comment on whether it succeeds in any of this, as the PC port is one of the shoddiest efforts I've ever cast eyes on.

While it's clear that there's a thoroughly enjoyable game deep inside, this program is so plagued with technical issues - in some cases game-breaking - that it's impossible to recommend on PC. The general consensus among forum-goers - with little in the way of technical evidence to support it, since Volition have been virtually silent on the issues raised - is that the game has been coded on Xbox 360 in such a way as to make porting to PC an extremely tricky task; so tricky, in fact, that vast swathes were left undone.

Unfortunately Volition have now stated that the game's unresolved issues - including stuttering and freezing which interrupts gameplay every few seconds when driving, or even running quickly - will remain unfixed. If you're willing to take a punt (some players have reported the game works fine on their systems) then best of luck to you. For those who prefer a sure bet, though, this is one to stay away from.

4.0 out of 5 stars Actually Quite Good, 23 Jun 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I've been playing Saints Row 2 on PC for over a week now and while I normally wait to see a bit more of a game before publishing a review, feel I must post a counter-point to some of the more negative write-ups.

First things first, yes the graphics are not that good - somewhere around the level of GTA Vice City and that's why SR2 gets 4 stars and not 5. Things can also get a bit laggy at times. However I'm a firm subscriber to the school of opinion that gameplay is equally as important if not more so than graphics - lots of Amiga or early PC games were more fun than many of their contemporaries.

However the gameplay is really good. SR2 is inevitably compared to GTA IV (which I also own). However whereas GTA IV is dour, gritty and often downright grim, from the outset SR2 doesn't take itself too seriously. The fun starts in the opening scenes where you can fully customise the main character to your personal preferences. The first few main missions should be played to get things going but after that the game is essentially a huge sandbox with the side activities proving to be just as fun as the main story. Highlights (for me) so far:

Paramedic Mission - You actually have to work on the accident victims, not just load them in the ambulance.

Toxic Avenger - What other game lets you spray raw sewage around the city.

Insurance Fraud - Totally hilarious when you get a combo going and are knocked 200 feet in the air to collect cash.

The game takes great delight in poking fun at GTA. One of the very early missions you play is robbing a casino run by a rival gang. During the briefing, one of the side character goes through a detailed plan almost identical to the Caligulas Palace heist mission in GTA: SA. However at the end of the presentation, the main protaganist proclaims, "Stuff that. Let's just go in through the front door and kill everyone." Classic.

Actually "Stuff it" is spoken as something else, be under no illusion this is very much an adult game and the 18 rating means what it says.

Unlike GTA, SR2 allows you to save casual progress as you go along and main story missions have frequent checkpoints. Even if you fail a mission, the game restarts you from a convenient location, not GTA's vast trek across the map.

Also unlike GTA IV, SR2 does not require you to install a plethora of ancilliary programmes in order to play the game. However it does use the "Steam" system to authenticate the install and to start the game and thus far I haven't tried to see if you can run in Steam's offline mode. Once installed you don't need to put the DVD in the drive.

Overall then, quite happy with SR2 and not the awful experience I was expecting from some of the reviews. Yes it's a console port and yes the graphics could be better but don't let that discourage you from playing on the PC.
