When I first played the original Saints Row, I thought it was awesome but what it severly lacked was any type of conversation from the main character that you play, that was a bit of a letdown but overall I think its still a much better overall game than gta, it may be a gta clone as many ppl say but none the less it has much better and more fluid gameplay, better graphics and much more color. With Saints Row 2, I thought it was a major upgrade from the original where the main character that you play has a LOT to say throughout the many cutscenes of the entire game!!! I was really impressed when I first played it, instantly noticing that the main character was actually talking from the very beginning of the game, as well as much more physical customisation options.

Starting out from a jailbreak from being in a COMA from the ending of the original, Saints Row 2 showed strait up action from the word go!!! The graphics are very colorful, sharp and innovative, the customisation of the cribs was also a new thing from the original, allowing you to turn a sloppy old room into something beautiful, as long as you've gained enough cash to do so, and the variety of 3 different main gang missions, side missions, basic action in the free roam section and a lot of veichles, made this game give gta a major kick up the butt!!! I liked gta 4 but I felt Saints Row 2 had much more to offer and far better gameplay and graphics, as well as smoother controls. Taking on 3 different gangs, each having basically the same goal which is to be kings of the town was more than just fun, and being able to pick the missions as you chose is a GR8 option.The side missions such as the strongholds are all basically the same which is to shoot, kill and take over the rival gang members, however the main missions change in the style and variety of action. All of the guns are amazing and are very fun to shoot, causing mayhem is very fun and most of the side missions are all about causing mayhem!!! Some of them are about veichles races. I especially thought that the side mission (septic tank) of spraying rich ppl and their apartments with the hose from a sewer truck was hilarious!!!
There's heaps to do in the free roam!!!
It introduced new veichles as well, such as helicopters with rockets and mini-guns attatched and all of the shooting from both helicopters and the guns in the game all have awesome vibration and are a total blast to shoot!!! The story's main aspect is to take control and eventyally eliminate all gang rivals and in the end to finally take down a corrupt politician who also has a lot of firepower on his side. The car driving is exactly like the original game where the driving was awesome and very fluid!!! Only in Saints Row 2 there are a lot of much faster cars to drive and a lot of time can be spent alone on driving around coz its so fun!!! All of the story characters have a different yet strong attitude, especially Jhonny Gatt, who is your main sidekick and loves to cause serious mayhem!!! The cutscenes were quite violent and much like that of a typical hollywood action movie along with the overall style of the game and the gameplay itself!!! As susual, there is a sexy female sidekick in this game who's voice acting is awesome and done by the Beautiful Eliza Dushku, the sexy hollywood actress who also did the voice acting in WET.

Overall, I would ive this game a 9 and a Must have and keep to any hardcore action game fan!!!

Happy gaming Everybody!!!
