Guilty Pleasure?

Now, you might think Saints Row 2 is a Grand Theft Auto clone. Well, partly it is, but then again any sanbox game would be. There are many great activities, and in the sense of humour and things to do, well, Saints Row 2 maybe even is superior to GTA IV. Saints Row 2 hasn't got a typically interesting storyline, but it's OK. Since you get to make your own dude and run around naked in the streets, who cares? It is glitchy and there are pop-ups now and then, but you can still enjoy the game and have fun. A lot of fun. Co-op is also nice, but there can be some lags and d/c problems. Overall, if you just want to have fun, Saints Row 2 is the game to play in your spare time.

Pros:

Great humor
Great activities
Good voice acting
Endless custimization options

Cons:

Glitchy, glitchy, buggy, buggy.
Not a very interesting storyline.
The AI is as smart as a cow.

8/10
