Saints Row 2 Review
Saints row 2
Saints Row 2 is the sequel to the popular GTA clone, Saints Row by Volition. It picks up right where the first one left off, with your character waking up from a coma after an explosion ended the first game with a literal bang. New gamers shoudn’t worry because SR2′s story is entirely self-contained (all you need to know is that your gang, the Saints, has been eradicated and that you’re pissed about it). SR may have started as a GTA: San Andreas clone, but it is quite a different game than GTA4.
Gameplay: 9.5/10
Saints Row is just plain fun. It doesn’t take itself to seriously, and has some ridiculously over the top activities and side missions. I’m a big fan of how you are required to play some of these side missions in order to gain respect and progress in the main story. Bottom line is that SR2 has great Co-op, a fantastic variety of activities and mission and a much more open-structure mission progression than other “sandbox” games. The multiplayer is decent with “Strong Arm” (get the most cash by killing the other team or competing in activities) standing out as a fun mix of things from the single player game. Missions have a friendly checkpoint system which reduces frustration and the 3rd person shooting mechanic works well. My only critiques of the gameplay would be that the story is a bit cliche and predictable and the game is a little on the easy side.
