Saints Row 2

Once again players get to walk the mean streets of Stilwater. Yes that’s right, the Saints Row series has made a return. You take on the role of the former Saints member which is the player’s custom character. You wake up from a five year coma caused by events in the first game. You start off in the prison hospital ward. Where you meet Carlos who helps you escape prison. After that you rescue former member Johnny Gat. Then you and Johnny put back together the Saints. Like the first game there are three major gangs the Ronin, Brotherhood, and the Sons of Samedi. Most of the game is spent taking on the gangs then taking on Ultor. Ultor is the corporation that moved into Stilwater while you were in a coma. The story is very good. I was actually shocked that I wanted to keep playing to find out what would happen next. As for the side quest they are still wacky and fun. To name a few, the classic Snatch and Hitman, but some of the newer ones are Septic avenger, where you drive around and spray sewage and waste on property and people. Also Fuzz is my favorite where you dress up as a police officer and make them look bad for the TV show fuzz. Another new feature, since you are the Saints leader, you can customize your gang. Another feature is you can buy shares in business’s and buy new cribs. There are several new weapons such as the taser gun, and the samurai sword. The combat system stays true to the original game. There is also a new music selection for this game. This is a very good game and I highly recommend it. So definitely get it.
