    Guilty Pleasure?

    Now, you might think Saints Row 2 is a Grand Theft Auto clone. Well, partly it is, but then again any sanbox game would be. There are many great activities, and in the sense of humour and things to do, well, Saints Row 2 maybe even is superior to GTA IV. Saints Row 2 hasn't got a typically interesting storyline, but it's OK. Since you get to make your own dude and run around naked in the streets, who cares? It is glitchy and there are pop-ups now and then, but you can still enjoy the game and have fun. A lot of fun. Co-op is also nice, but there can be some lags and d/c problems. Overall, if you just want to have fun, Saints Row 2 is the game to play in your spare time.

    Pros:

    Great humor
    Great activities
    Good voice acting
    Endless custimization options

    Cons:

    Glitchy, glitchy, buggy, buggy.
    Not a very interesting storyline.
    The AI is as smart as a cow.

    8/10

You play as anyone; almost any face could be made with ...

      This might not be GTA IV, but man, it's still very good 0

      Saints Row 1 really took the gaming world by storm, with it's great open-world gameplay and good story. Saints Row 2 is here and takes place about 4 years after the first Saints. Your in a coma after having the shit blown out of you and you have to fight through loads of dolphins in your coma -- alright I'm lying. You actually start off after you woke up from your "coma". This leads to one of the best features, although there is a lot of them, this is by far one of the most detailed feature.You ...
