Advantages: Great Game Got A Lot of Attitude

Disadvantages: Trying to Hard to out beat GTA

Saints Row 2
This game derives from the drug culture, gang culture and the urban lifestyle of modern day New York or L.A or London perhaps.
You take control of your character that you created from the very start. He/She wakes up from a coma in a state penitentiary facility located off the shores of the city of stillwater. You escape with the help of some harden criminals. Upon arriving back to civilized society you find out that your gang, is dead and gone. so this is where you work to create you own gang known as the 3rd street saints.

With this story going on you travel through the city in Grand Theft Auto style mode, Free roaming through the streets, running down pedestrians, Mugging, Shooting, Driving and practically raising hell.

Sounds like fun huh!?

Well heres the thing, its pretty much Grand Theft Auto IV with a tad less detail to it. Whenever you step into a vehicle you'll here a vast amount of radio stations (all fake of course) blasting out famous music tracks along with tongue-in-cheek advertisements about useless products, the rhinoplasty advertisement and the Pretend-to-be advertisements were my personal favorites, along with krunch radio blasting out metal music from bands like trivium, lamb of god, the black dahlia murder and so on.

So there are highlights to this games playability, along with side plots and vehicle design, this also shows you other ways to customize your gangs look, sayings, all the way down to how you walk.

This is somewhat good and pleasing to whoever likes games that promote crime. But unlike grand theft auto (whose stories always leaves a message) This is nothing more than a game design to be sleazier than the competition.

Summary: Good Game Would Like To See What Else They Come Up With
