Totally a great game and i would go so far as to say better than GTA4, but really REALLY needs a big patch...

This game is a very lazy port of a console game (so much so that it does not have native xbox360 controller support, just gamepad support, yet clearly uses the radial menu graphic of a friggin xbox360 controller)

But it is not fair to blame the game itself for its flaws... you wouldn't blame a retarded kid for being retarded just because mommy smoked crack while pregnant would you?

If a magical patch was released that would fix the:

-performance issues (9800gtx, low settings, 20fps?)

-controls (keyboard mappings are frustrating, and with a gamepad one must choose if he would like to be able to shoot OR drive...)

-crappy graphics (actually WORSE than saints row 1, even on high)

- TOTAL LACK OF EFFORT IN PORTING THE GAME (clear evidence that this is a simple port of an xbox game... why not just give us an emulator and not bother with porting huh?)




All in all however, this game would actually be more fun than any GTA game if it were not for its many issues... so i plead on my knees FIX THIS GAME PLEASE!!!!!!!

    A brilliant game, an annoying port.

    Saints Row 2 is, simply put, an outrageously brilliant game. It's the best use of an open world I've ever experienced, that lets you do what you feel like doing. It's developed by Volition, who made Descent and Red Fa... Read Full Review
