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 different hoods and defend them.
A good point to the game is most things are customizable, whether it's your own character, your cribs, your cars or your gang.
The graphics aren't nearly as good as GTA4, but aren't terrible either.
The gameplay is basically the same, as is the layout of maps, menus, etc.
One of the things I oike about the game is cars and boats have cruise control, so when you are playing missions invlolving chasing after and blowing up another vehicle it makes it less akward.
Another small detail that I liked is that both different types of helicopters and planes are available.
Co-op missions allow your friends or random people to join in with your game, I've yet to try this.
Not had a chance to play online yet, GTA wasn't the best online and I dont really expect this to be much better.
Advantages: Fun, Crazy and a Little bit strange Disadvantages: Graphics not what they could have been
...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 ... ...use anything or why not simply throw your enemies in front of a car or train?
I will be honest here and say the driving wasn't as good as I'd hoped when I bought it and it seemed like a big drawback, however after playing it for a while I found it starts to become a bonus. The driving seems to help when you need to get from A to B quickly, it's not realistic and sometimes feels lifeless but when on a mission it comes in handy, and the cruise control ...

Saint Row 2 Review ofSaints Row 2 (PS3)by
metalrocker92
Advantages: Gameplay never gets boring Disadvantages: none so far
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 ... ...and so you can recustomize how you look). You can choose to be a boy or a girl in this one too. This game is what GTA IV should have been. Fun. Its funny, its entertaining, it will last you ages because the best thing about this gameplay is its so deep and exte4nsive that you wont get bored. Graphics are really good, not amazing, but graphics wasnt what they focused on this time, they went for gameplay. And they delivered. I will probably add more ...
