Hey guys and girls.
Firstly, this game was a complete overhaul of the previous title. Graphics were highly intensified. Gameplay itself was also made even more heightened with a large amount of weaponry, vehicles and even more voice work on civilians than I have ever seen on any game before.
Giving the character (SPOILER!) a voice after his/her near death was a wise move. Choosing between three voices, you can choose between a British, normal or latino accent. (By normal, it reverts through different races, mostly stereotypical African American and White)
The customisation of the character itself was also extended to so much of a high point that I have never seen before in a game where a character's customisation could be extended to make it in near infinite ways. Everything from large noses and feet to the size of your waist and hairline!
The gameplay itself was brilliant, some points being excellent, others weird and funny and some that just brings tears to your eyes (SPOILER!) for example, depending on your choice of gang to focus on, in one of the ending scenes, your character is split between the decision to save your Lieutenant or end his pain and kill him.
There are only a few faults that I have found with the game. The multiplayer, while fun, can be quite annoying...and very similar to Just Cause. This was a great try at a Multiplayer, and was great to run around with a friend killing anything that moves. but try to play with anyone who lives overseas and the game and freezes the Xbox itself.
This game is a definite buy for a person who doesn't mind running around with a pimp cane, hitting them over the head or opening the top and unloading a buckshot onto a crowd. Some of the cheats (Yeah, I used them once, just to muck around with a buddy) are actually quite fun, especially Drunk Civilians, is a great way to add a sequel to a great game. I look forward to Saints Row 3.
Out of 10, I gave Saints Row 2 an 7/10
