GAME » Reviews
The clone that surpassed the original returns with the even more over-the-top sequel to Volition's popular open-world mayhem generator, Saints Row.

"Saints Row 2 ups the ante for the volume of sheer absurdity in an open-world action game."

The Saint's Row that made the series fun.

The Saints have been dismantled, Saints Row has been transformed from a slum into a high rise commercial zone, and your mission is to build the Saints up as the new Boss. Saints Row 2 is a game that v… Read more

arbayer2 Reviews: Saints Row 2 (PC)

Saints Row 2. It's the sequel to a game franchise originally considered a light-hearted clone of the effectively genre-monopolizing Grand Theft Auto series. In many ways it's a bridge tying the entire… Read more

Crashes and Buggy on PC, but i still had fun

I ended up picking this game up during Steam Summer Sales for 2.50. I also got Saints Row: The Third, but i wanted to play through number 2 first as quickly as i could, mainly for the story. I had som… Read more

Hugo Weaving's day-trip to Stillwater.

Vanilla is not an adjective I would use to describe Saints Row 2. In fact, Saints Row 2 is not the vanilla open-world crime game that it seems to be in its trailers. Quite the contrary, it is a marble… Read more

Don't waste your time with this game, play anything else...

I really don't get why people like this game. It's a bad version of GTA. It's stupid and bad looking, populated with fake NPCs and with stupid mission and unrealistic action. It's OK to want some craz… Read more

Great In All The Right Places

I never managed to finish Saints Row 2 on the PC, so when I found out that copies of Saints Row: The Third on the Playstation 3 came with a free copy of Saints Row 2 (and Best Buy had the title on sal… Read more

No, just no more terrible open-world games

Saints Row 2 is much like Saints Row 1 in the way that its not that good. Its an ugly, bland experience that tries to blend Grand Theft Auto with god knows what. I was a fan of GTA3 and dont think I h… Read more

Lords of the Row2: Return of the Bling

As the joker once said why so serious? A theme that saints row developer sticks too for their return to the hallowed ground of Stillwater. This game is similar in style to the Grand Theft Auto series… Read more

A good game, hampered by lousy porting and technical issues.

Let's be clear: Saints Row 2 is certainly in the running for what could be called a GTA-clone. It lets you loose in a large, free-roam city to wreak havoc as you see fit. You have innumerable vehicles… Read more

Own this game.

The first game in the recently announced trilogy of Saints Row proved itself as an over-the-top arcade-like alternative to Grand Theft Auto. The sequel does not disappoint, as almost all aspects have… Read more

Amazing Open Level Title

This has been a rather good year for open world games. Mercenaries 2 was, for me, a lot of fun. GTA 4 finally hit and sold pretty darned well. Now, we get Saints Row making a return. SR1 was viewed as… Read more

Saints Row 2 Review

Saints Row 2: The Game GTA Doesn't want you to know about.

Saints Row 2 is just fun plain and simple, however the experience is far from perfect. The game has a hilarious and wacky story that will pit you against rival gangs and the evil steriotypical Ultor C… Read more

An Entirely Average Game that's Exceptionally Fun to Play

Saint's Row 2 is not a great game, but it is a game with a hell of a lot of style. It's been a few years, but you have woken up from a comma with a new attitude, a new voice, and the need to regain co… Read more

If you found GTA:IV lacking...

If you were pissed off by a lot of the stuff that didnt make it from GTA:SA to GTA:IV, this is the game for you. Saints Row 2 takes all those wonderful side things to do and expands on them and evolve… Read more

Not the deepest game, but loads of fun

The first possible mistake you could make coming into Saints Row 2 is comparing it to Grand Theft Auto IV. GTAIV took such a huge turn from the 3 series formula that it would actually be easier to com… Read more

Saints Row 2

When reviewing a game like Saints Row 2, it’s hard not to immediately start making comparisons with Grand Theft Auto IV. Both are open-world games where you run around hijacking cars whilst completing… Read more

Sainter than the first one

Okay, so the title doesn't make sense, but then again... bug off. Anyways, I got SRII on release day and have been too lazy (swamped by school) to actually post a review for it. If you've played the f… Read more

It's over the top and entirely rediculous, but thats it's charm.

Pros A juvenile sense of humor. This might be a con in your books, but I'm all for some dick and fart jokes. A fully fleshed out co-op experience with LOCAL MULTIPLAYER . Over the top cut scenes with… Read more

once you get past the games graphics, the underlying game is fun

We've all met those girls (or guys), a common term goes "Butterface", if you haven't heard it before it goes "Everything was good, but her face". That's kinda like how i want to describe Saints Row 2.… Read more

Once you look past the ugly graphics, the underlying game is fun

Growing Up In The Row...

Playing the first Saints Row game for me was not entirely satisfying (3/5). Did not care too much for the way it ended with the story and with how the whole thing felt. Fast forward to present time th… Read more

It's ridiculously fun

It's impossible to avoid comparing Saints Row to GTA. The first Saints Row was viewed as a momentary fix for those craving GTA-esque gameplay on the next generation of consoles, and thus was infinitel… Read more

Saint's Row 2 Standing Tall

When the first Saints Row was released I got nothing but the same mindless comments from people online and even some of my own friends about the game, they mainly pointed at the fact that Saints Row l… Read more

Not GTA IV but still hell of a lot of fun

After GTA IV rejuvenated the Grand Theft Auto franchise of games, it's hard to imagine an open world game doing it better, especially one who's predecessor was essentially a "GTA clone" though a very… Read more

This might not be GTA IV, but man, it's still very good

Saints Row 1 really took the gaming world by storm, with it's great open-world gameplay and good story. Saints Row 2 is here and takes place about 4 years after the first Saints. Your in a coma after… Read more

A little buggy and unpolished, but an absolute blast to play

Saint's Row 2 is without a doubt one of the single meatiest and tastiest experiences I've had on the Xbox 360 to date. It's an absolute kick in the pants from the very start. Whether you're blowing yo… Read more
