Saints Row 2 (PS3)

THE SUMMARY This games tag line is "Free Your Inner Sinner" and free it it does in a glorious endorsement of gang warfare. This is a fantastically fun Grand Theft Auto style game for the PS3. I loved it. THE STORY As a former member of the Saints gang you wake up at the start of the game in a prison after an explosion on your last job. Little do you know but you have been in a deep coma for years and in this time the world has changed. The Saints have disbanded due to the lack of your leadership and have now been replaced by a load of new gangs in town. Its time to take the town back and gain ... more

Sounds like a girls dream a game with shopping :-O! Playing the first Saints Row is not necessary although I would recommend playing that also, you will be able to gather the gist of the game just by starting it up so no need to worry! I have completed this game twice once on normal difficulty and once on hardcore, so I feel I can give a pretty decent review of the game! I would recommend people who haven't played saints row before to start on the easiest option though to see how you go. This game is super if you really like to get into your games. There are main missions, strongholds ... more

Being a Playstation fan I never got to play the first one, which was no released on Playstation. So I was glad to hear that this one was being released on PS3. The plot to the game is you take control of a former 3rd Street Saints gangster who has just awoken from a coma. Your mission is to re-take the territory previously run, which is currently under control from three other gangs. The comparisons with GTA are obvious and if you just walked into a demonstration of the game you would think you were looking at the new GTA. It is mostly like San Andreas, where your main aim is to take over ... more

After Playing GTA4 for a while I needed something fresh which was along the same lines so turned to this. I hadn't played the first Saints Row so had nothing to compare it to but was pleasantly surprised. There is a massive amount for players to get up to in their spare time from becoming a hitman, star of a "C.O.P.S" style tv show, joining fight club and so much more. There are almost limitless ways to get around the city from cars, bikes, helicopters, UFO's, planes, boats and anything else you can find. The amount of weapons available is something most people are going to love, you can ... more

Few games manage to live up to the hype we put on them, but this does. Im only about a fifth way through the game so i cant comment on longevity but after doing 8 missions i have 5 hours gameplay. The customization is unbelievable, you can do pretty much anything. Everything down to the last detail. I spent about 1 hour and 10 minutes creating my player at the beggining ( they get round it by saying that because you got so badly burnt at the end of the last one that you needed a skin graph and so you can recustomize how you look). You can choose to be a boy or a girl in this one too. This game ... more
