The activities really are superb and include Fight Club (where you enter a series of fights), Fuzz (where you dress up as a cop and beat up innocent people to become famous on a cop based TV show), Septic Avenger (where you have to spray sewerage over buildings), Trail Blazing (where you have to tear through the streets blowing up and setting people and items on fire within a limited time), or our personal favourite Mayhem where you have to cause a specific amount of damage within a time limit. Of course the main ‘story’ part of the game contains some 40-odd missions, however you can easily double the game length by playing the activities and other diversions. When you get into the game you will discover a open city in which you can explore and do as you like. This is certainly an impressive feature of this game – something which few other sandbox titles allow including Grand Theft Auto IV. You can then change the look of your gang, and the cribs you hang out in. Beyond that you can change your appearance including your age and weight, your voice, fighting style and weapon holding, clothing and expressions. The image you portray is as important as the decisions you make in a city ruled by false bravado and impulsive behavior.īefore you hit the streets in Saints Row 2 you will need to create and customise you character which, impressive, includes the first initial choice – to play as either a male or female character! Now that is impressive. Your crib, your crew, and your character define who you are on the streets and how you are perceived. Respect can only be earned in Stilwater, and that requires a lifestyle that reflects your unique personality. Abandoned and left scarred with an unrecognizable face, you seek out a plastic surgeon to begin your new life on the streets. 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. As you awake from a coma for the first time since that fateful day, you find the Stilwater you once ruled is in disarray. As with newcomers to this series, the games hero is starting afresh after losing everything.įive years have passed since your former Saints crew betrayed you. While the story is a continuation of sorts, it’s not hard to pick up what is happening in this game from the outside. Don’t worry if you never played the original.
With sales of 2 million units the XBox 360 exclusive Saints Row sold well enough to warrant this sequel from developers Volition, but this time it has appeared on PS3 as well. Unlike so many other try-hard sandbox styled games though Saints Row 2 actually stands up very well, remarkably well in fact. Both are open world sandbox styled games, with plenty of gangs, drugs, violence, swearing, radios stations, shops and insane stunts to keep you occupied.
