Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

...Theft Auto IV immediately, both Saints Row 2 and GTA IV take place in a busheling matroliss both with characters with a sub-seen about of artillery and both let you drive around with fancy vehicles, and that pretty much it! While the first Saints Row almost felt GTA like, Saints Row 2 feels like a holey unique enviable alternative to what GTA 4 offers. It's story doesn't care about moral consequences, it doesn't pretend to give a realistic lifestyle ...
...fun. The Story of Saints Row 2 starts with you waking from a five year coma, this gives you the perfect opportunity to design you character, from their sneakers to their baby spot. The creation tool is quite assume you can select from four different reaces, fluctuate your weight and age wildly and even choose between a man and a woman. You can tweak each aspect of the face is you like, but its kind of a paint messing with all those sliders. It is ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

Saints Row 2 is a great game but I feel the game was messed up by the end of the first game, basically at the end you get blown up on a ship, then the developers decided they would make a second game but wait, your characters dead, I know lets say he miraculously survived and is recovering in prison, yeah and while we're at it lets modify all the other characters to make it look like some times passed by, no not all that great. I must say though ...
...V8 engine. In conclusion Saints Row 2 is a great game I think that if your going for a modern gangster game this beats GTA every day of the week, it is currently priced at around £20 and I would rate it 7/10 story, 10/10 graphics, 10/10 gameplay and 9/10 sound, overall I would rate this game a 9/10, appreciate comments, thanks for reading, Liam] This review is also on Ciao! ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

Saints Row 2 is here so get your buckets and spades ladies and gents, it is time to return to the sandbox world of Stilwater! For those that have never played Saints Row, it is a sandbox game that has a lot of similarities to the Grand Theft Auto series - so straight away you can assume that Saints Row is going to be a good candidate to add to your games collection ! The Saints Row series is based around Gang Warfare so you can expect plenty of ...
...young ones. The first Saints Row game had you join a gang known as the 3rd Street Saints where your main target was to take over the city of Stillwater by ridding the city of the other 3 gangs that stood in your way. If you have not yet played Saints Row 1, I strongly suggest purchasing it before playing Saints Row 2 otherwise you may find some of the storyline confusing as it continues on from the first game. Saints Row 1 is now a classics title ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

Saints row 2 is in my opinion the unofficial GTA 4. i'm not sure how many out there remember this game from their estranged childhood but i certainly do. The crazy birds eye view of a brightly coloured dot runnign around and pulling other brightly coloured dots out of boxes and then driving the boxes around stupidly fast, is nothing short of pure manical entertainment. Grand theft auto has been a game that anyone can enjoy because you don't ahve ...
...and fat annoying family members. Saints row 2 is what everybody wanted from GTA 4 plus fantastic additions. Story basically the game continues on from saitns row one which ended with you exploding in some kind of boat chase, the resulting explosion sends you into a coma for 2 years. Your character awakes on an island in the medical wing of some god forsaken prizon only to find he has to face the full penalty of law for your past transgressions. ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

...another modern day gangster game, Saints Row 2 from THQ is intended for over eighteens only and bears a strong similarity to the Grand Theft Auto series. That is, you can basically play it however you want by doing anything you want - including stealing cars and beating up innocent people... or police! With scenes of violence, drugs and prostitution amongst other things, it's no surprise that the game has been rated an eighteen. The slogan on the ...
...the same sort of thing. Saints Row 2 does seem to be a little more explicit where the adult content is concerned though and also contains a lot of swearing and references to sex and drugs - even more so than the GTA series. It is all good fun though if you don't take it too seriously but definitely not recommended for the children. Graphically in general gameplay the game doesn't appear to be anything special and is very similar to Driver 3 on the ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

Saints Row 2 > Grand Theft Auto 4 Saints Row 2 is a shameless GTA clone sand box game though it does many things better than GTA4. The game allows an impressive level of character customization and then sets you loose into the sandbox world allowing you to run riot with a selection of colorful side quests. These side quests are fun at first but soon get repetitive as a 'respect meter', which must be filled between each portion of the main story, ...
...main story arc. Saints Row 2 returns to the manic, comical fun that gives sand box games of this genre their appeal, keeping score on several criminal behaviors in which you will indulge throughout the game as appose to GTA 4 which has taken the less satisfying approach of gritty realism. In conclusion Saints Row 2 is by no means a sophisticated game with a gripping story and the inability to continue down the main story arc without spamming the ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

...a coma, the 3rd Street Saints have become nobodies and you must bring them back into power by defeating three gangs: the drug dealing Sons of Samedis, the Japanese Ronin and the Brotherhood. Not to mention the multi-billion dollar Ultor conversation. The story consists of short clips that play prior to the missions which explain what you've gotta do as well as short mission conclusion clips. The brief dialogue in turn leads to little character attachement. ...
...As a sandbox game, Saints Row excels. The sprawling city is massive and feels live a living breathing city. What's really great about this game though is that there is just so much to do and such a variety. If you look on the map it is littered with icons. There are a multitude of sidemissions to kill some time with. Fight clubs, races, mayhem, zombie uprising as well as septic avenger which involves spaying faeces at buildings to lower the property. ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

I pre-ordered this game and was, and still am very happy about what it involves. For anybody that has played GTA IV you MAY have been a little disappointed by a few things, something tells me that with GTA the concerned parents, lawyers and the works got to the game and they made it more realistic, police everywhere and so on but this is a saint's row 2 review, the game that's been mainly left alone by such people (for reason's i don't understand), ...
...game GTA is in terms of graphics and as a technical achievement, but you will more fun with saint's row because the possibilities are endless, the best game i've bought so far this year. the TRUE sequel to GTA san andreas, maybe.. please remember graphics doesn't make a game, activies on this include (and this is just off the top of my head) Mayhem - go to a certain area and you are given guns and grenades to cause as much damage to public property/cars ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

...was a little skeptical of saints row at first, being a grand theft auto player since it first came about i saw this advertised on TV and thought,, hmm cheap GTA rip off, However after playing its rival grand theft auto 4 and being disappointed i thought i would give it a go, and to my surprise it is everything that GTA 4 is not, GTA has taken a more serious real life like approach, which some may argue is better but in all honest wasn't part of ...
...is only one thing with Saints Row 2 as there always is although im not going to spend much time on this as it is majorly outweighed by the benefits of this game, it can be a little buggy, nothing major but just little things like when the action gets heavy police tend to teleport out of their vehicles but these graphics issues arn't gonna spoil your game play. It has the comedy, it has the graphics, it is almost as if the makers took a look at previous ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

Saints Row 2 is a brilliant 3D world where you get to play the role as a gangsta in the Saints in Stillwater. There is a lot to do, there are various different missions and activities. In the full length missions you play missions against different gangs, The Brotherhood, Ronin, and The Sons of Samedi. The different activities are Crowd control, Fight club, FUZZ, Heli Assault, Septic Avenger and Trial Blazing, All of which are great activities. I think its a brilliant game because there is so much to do, you can go to bars and buy drugs and alcohol. You can drive arround and do stunts, There are a huge selection of cars similar to grand theft auto games. And a nice big selection of weapons too. I really do recogmend buying this game to anyone who loves a gangsta style, mission and activity based game. ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

I own this game and it is really good. I have played over 50 hours on solo and I am still not bored of it. Online is a little bit of a let down I'm afraid. Once you have completed a game, it takes you to the main screen, so you need to go and search for another game again. It is not like CoD where it has all the games in a loop. There are more missions and more activities to do. There are also hidden extras. You can also get a UFO if you register ...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

I shall compare saints row 2 to mainly the only game like GTA IV. To be honest saints row 2 might not be as realistic as GTA but it is much more funner. And your character is fully custamazable There is loads of stuff to do apart form the main story line and if you played the first one you will no what activities are. ACTIVITIES mayhem:cause as much destruction as possable Snatch:Steal prostitutes of pimps Drug traficing:Protect the drug dealer ...
...your the police man and many more You can have alot of fun just wandering about or flying helicopters or planes. The online play is great there are 3 matches Gangsta brawl:free for all Team gangsta brawl:two teams Strong arm: two teams do activities to earn money It is also a must buy if you played the first one as it ties up story line. ...
