4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100

Saints Row 2 picks up years after the 1st one and shows how Stilllwater has changed and developed thanks to the Ultor Corporation. You play as the character in the last game as he/she awakes from a coma thanks to the events of Saints Row 1 ending. But this time, you are given a voice and can create any character you choose to have. Guy with a girl voice, sure. Girl with beard, no problem.
When you jump out of Airborne vehicles, you automatically get a parachute. Take that Niko!


Creation is a big element in Saints Row 2 and involves almost everything in the world. Options include tweaking your vehicles, house, and gang members to look any way you want them to look. As in the 1st game, respect is required to contiune on the story missions, although you can gain more by taking out rival gangs and activities and diversions which allows more time to be spent on the campaign mode without taking breaks to gain respect.
Wheeee!!



One of the new features of the game is co-op play. This mode is one the best ways to play as you and a friend can play the entire game in co-op. This is even include activities. Best of all, there is no limit on far or close you have to be. Other Multiplayer options include Gangsta Brawl( Deathmatch) Team Gangsta Brawl, and A new mode named Strong Arm, in which teams complete activities to gain money across Stillwater. Saints Row 2 is a solid sequel and wraps up questions left from the ending of Saints Row 1. 4/5

Saints Row 2 is gang-tastic and homie approved!!
