A little buggy and unpolished, but an absolute blast to play

Saint's Row 2 is without a doubt one of the single meatiest and tastiest experiences I've had on the Xbox 360 to date. It's an absolute kick in the pants from the very start. Whether you're blowing your way out of prison, customizing a bevy of vehicles, throwing down in an ...

If you were pissed off by a lot of the stuff that didnt make it from GTA:SA to GTA:IV, this is the game for you. Saints Row 2 takes all those wonderful side things to do and expands on them and evolves them. You can buy properties, take over gang ...

Not GTA IV but still hell of a lot of fun

After GTA IV rejuvenated the Grand Theft Auto franchise of games, it's hard to imagine an open world game doing it better, especially one who's predecessor was essentially a "GTA clone" though a very good one. Yet, Saints Row 2 delivers in spades, and not on the strength of it's ...

When the first Saints Row was released I got nothing but the same mindless comments from people online and even some of my own friends about the game, they mainly pointed at the fact that Saints Row looks similar to that of GTA and it is just a clone, well ...

Playing the first Saints Row game for me was not entirely satisfying (3/5). Did not care too much for the way it ended with the story and with how the whole thing felt. Fast forward to present time things have changed. This time around Volition got a lot of things ...

(

Saints Row 2 is just fun plain and simple, however the experience is far from perfect. The game has a hilarious and wacky story that will pit you against rival gangs and the evil steriotypical Ultor Corporation. It plays much like any open world third person crime game but it's ...

It's impossible to avoid comparing Saints Row to GTA. The first Saints Row was viewed as a momentary fix for those craving GTA-esque gameplay on the next generation of consoles, and thus was infinitely compared to GTA. Well, the first Saints Row didn't really benefit from these comparisons, because while ...

The first possible mistake you could make coming into Saints Row 2 is comparing it to Grand Theft Auto IV. GTAIV took such a huge turn from the 3 series formula that it would actually be easier to compare Saints Row 2 to the 3 series. What Saints Row 2 ...

Saints Row 2

When reviewing a game like Saints Row 2, it’s hard not to immediately start making comparisons with Grand Theft Auto IV. Both are open-world games where you run around hijacking cars whilst completing missions for less-than-stellar members of the community, both make use of the same mixture of popular music ...
