This is our San Andreas in a different city, plot, and with so much do to do.
Plot: (7/10) : The Plot could've been better, but it seems they weren't 100% trying to make the plot more than what it was for the simple fact that SR1's plot was obviously better, and the Main Character (you) of SR2 was working for the leader of the Saints. So it's pretty simple, all you have to do on SR2 is kill all the other gangs, and bring the Saints back to the top. I would really like to play SR1 to see 100% happened during those events because even till today, I still hear that SR1's plot was WAY better than SR2.
Online Co-Op: (8/10): Now the Co-Op for the Story mode was pretty good, but qhat screws this up is that they should've had a mode where everyone could party in Stillwater like how in GTA 16 players could party in Liberty City. Anyhow, the Co op is pretty good for your 2008 game. You could do Story mode, activities, and blow things up with your friend in stillwater.
Online Stronghold Matches: (5/10) now this needed a lot of work... If you have a friend or two with you it's not bad because your chatting on the phone or something (not mic I said phone lol but it is mic compatible) while your waiting for the game to load (takes like 5 mins to load a match and you cannot hear no one till the game starts) its a wait, but when the game starts it fun but it's stressful because you could get killed in seconds. The Stronghold allows you to work hard for you to pimp your character out and look fresh as you are online. This mode really did need a lot of work and I hope in the sequel it's better.
Overall this game gets a 8.5 out of 10. It had a lot of clothes, weapons, cars, and things you could do when you are in the city and playing with a friend, but there are still things they need to work out before I boost this up to a 9 or 9.5.
