Full Review of Saints Row 2 for XBox 360
Previous | Other Reviews for this game

The Saints started out as a small gang that had just taken a little church and used it a command center. They were up against three big rival gangs in the city of Stilwater. The Los Carnalas, ( or Los Carnalas )The Vice Kings, and The Westside Rollerz. The Saints took the whole city and then there leader was kidnapped by the local police force, you complete about five misions trying to rescue your leader, and you go on a boat for a switch off. A trader in the Saints shoots you down with an RPG and you were put in a coma, and captured by the police, taken to prison and left in the infirmary. Thats where Saints Row 2 starts. You wake up form your coma five years later, and meet a guy named Carlos who helps you break from prison. The saints fell apart, and your basicly the only member left, most of the former recruits have either quit, or are on death row. Three new gangs popped up The Ronin, The Sons of Samdi, and The Brotherhood, and even worse. A company called Ultor is trying to fix Stilwater and have make new neighborhoods, and made a bit of Stilwater a spiraling Utopia.

Graphics

The graphics are... Different, there almost like an animation... There unreal almost as if drawn. People suddenly appear out of nowhere and cars can disappear. But the rest flows nicely,except airplanes... They should get a better animation crew if you ask me...

Sound

There are a lot of different genres of music, like rock, pop, easy listening, rap, classical, heavy metal. The sounds of the game are moderatly realistic, it sounds as if the sound effects were just stripped straight from the first Saints Row. They could use more effects.

Gameplay

The games is kinda a go any where do anything game. From flying helicopters, to cruisin' in motocycles. Needs more weapons and more vechile choices... Some of the characters get old after a whie but more are really cool like Johnny Gat, he'll follow you to hell and back.

Lastability

It doesn't get boring until you played it a hundred times over, you can just do anything, it's like life but no really reprocusions like you can get a whole car full of gang members go rob a store and get shot down by the cops with no side effects but loosing a bit of in game money

Overall

Its VERY GOOD, I would very highly recommened it it's a very very very good game, like GTA but it's diffferent, it's worht the money I would definatly buy it. I fyou like hardcore games this is a game for you. Its not very bloody but they swear a lot...
