Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

Saints Row 2 is here so get your buckets and spades ladies and gents, it is time to return to the sandbox world of Stilwater! For those that have never played Saints Row, it is a sandbox game that has a lot of similarities to the Grand Theft Auto series - so straight away you can assume that Saints Row is going to be a good candidate to add to your games collection ! The Saints Row series is based around Gang Warfare so you can expect plenty of gun blazing action, violence, and foul language - needless to say it's not a title you should be purchasing for the young ones. The first Saints Row game had you join a gang known as the 3rd Street ...  Read the complete review

I originally bought this game because it looked a lot like Grand Theft Auto (one of my favourite games) and I wasn't disappointed. One of the most entertaining aspects of the game is the amount of customization there is, unlike GTA, you can fully customize your character - changing their appearance completely (much like in the Sims 2, but with even more options) as well as changing their voice and other things like their walk. You can also modify any car in a Need For Speed-esque way, changing colours, adding nitrous etc. The gameplay itself is also pretty entertaining, unlike GTA, I actually bothered to watch the cutscenes, and the missions themselves are ...  Read the complete review

Yet another modern day gangster game, Saints Row 2 from THQ is intended for over eighteens only and bears a strong similarity to the Grand Theft Auto series. That is, you can basically play it however you want by doing anything you want - including stealing cars and beating up innocent people... or police! With scenes of violence, drugs and prostitution amongst other things, it's no surprise that the game has been rated an eighteen. The slogan on the back cover of the game claims that you can 'free your inner sinner' by building up respect on the streets using a wide arsenal of weapons including rocket launchers and satchel charges. There are several modes ...  Read the complete review

Saints Row 2 - Xbox 360 Saints Row 2 involves a very dark story with death, betrayal, corrupt officials and all around nasty people it just doesn't take itself very seriously. Saints Row 2 kicks off with you creating your own character you can be fat, skinny, female, a dude with breasts so large you need a bra even......a mime. The start sees you blast your way out of the world's least secure prison, and once you're out they just stop caring about you. It's like once you get off their island you're not any of their problem any more. Immediately I practiced executing everyone nearby a quick combination of the Left Bumper Button and the Left Trigger ...  Read the complete review

I purchased Saints Row 2 soon after it came out, and having not played the first game, I was unsure of what I was going to get. Saints Row 2 is a sandbox game for the Xbox 360, and after the disappointing Grand Theft Auto IV, I was left desperately searching for a good, fun sandbox game for the Xbox. And now I've found it. Saints Row 2 incorporates a more, "San Andreas" style approach with fun coming before realism, which I think was GTA's big mistake in their release. There's a lot to do in Saints Row 2, increasing its longevity and pretty much all aspects of the game are great fun to play. The Story: The story is set in ...  Read the complete review
