There are lots and lots of activities outside of the story.
The three gangs can be tackled in any order (even alternating between them at any time), and each successful mission reclaims a portion of the city for the Saints, bringing in extra income. Both work well though, and there’s a recharging health mechanic. Mostly standard for this sort of game: lots of shooting, lots of driving. It rarely ever takes itself seriously though, and mostly just tries to have fun. Mostly just a functional means to frame missions rather than a complex, interesting story. Mostly focuses upon the three dominant gangs and the Saints’ attempts to wipe them out. Third-person, open-world crime game, again set in the fictional city of Stilwater.Īfter five years in a coma, the former leader of the 3rd Street Saints and seeks to reclaim dominance in a radically changed city. You need your characters to be sympathetic – the protagonist and allies don’t think anything of mowing down civilians or police and building up huge body counts, as well as generally being crude. You’ve never enjoyed the open world crime games – Volition have clearly set out to make a fun game in that genre.
You don’t mind open world games like Grand Theft Auto, but thought GTAIV took itself too seriously – Saints Row 2 could never be accused of doing that.īeing able to create your character adds a lot to games for you – this has a pretty detailed character creator, for gender, face and body shape, as well as cosmetic car customisation and limited gang customisation. You put a lot of time into GTAIV but would have preferred more side quests and fun activities – this game overflows with such things.
You enjoy the Grand Theft Auto games (particularly those before GTAIV) or the original Saints Row game – Saints Row 2 is a worthy addition to the genre. Note: I don’t play online much, and haven’t tried any of the online features of Saints Row 2. One additional free pack with extra clothing and tattoos for PS3 and 360 (not PC).īen’s Progress: Game completed on the normal difficulty.
