The only real disappointment here, is the lack of new car models, there may be a few, but nothing to grab your attention other than the monster truck. arcadey as hell, allowing you to literally handbrake the car round every corner. The car handling is also as you would expect. In addition to that, you can use props around the city to aid your melee frenzy, ranging from cinder blocks to fire hydrants. The controls and such are almost identical to the original but Volition have tweaked the combat mechanics ever so slightly to include a devastating combo attack which is unleashed if you land 3 successful strikes. The choices aren't set in stone either, at any point in the game, you can head to a plastic surgeon to change it totally, but obviously, that will cost you a small fee. If you want to recapture the streets as a Krusty the Clown look-a-like, feel free, it’s your character after all. The story picks up with the Saints trying to recapture their glory days and retake the city, however, not only will they have to contend with 3 newly established gangs, but also with the Ulterior Corporation, run by smarmy, know-it-all, Dane Vogel.Īs soon as you fire the game up, the first thing you’ll have to do is customise your character, from choosing their age, race, build, sex right the way down to their accent, taunts and fighting styles. Fresh out of a coma, the main character can not only speak more than a few words now, but they are also blessed with a psychotic personality that Tony Montana himself would be proud of. Saints Row 2 takes the action back to the streets of Stilwater, some years after the events of Saints Row where you’ll take control of the same unnamed protagonist from the first title and this time, they are blessed with more of a personality.
Rockstar have since decided to tread the path of realism, whereas Volition and Saints Row went the other way and decided to focus on a tongue-in-cheek, fun title where realism is but a distant thought. Well, that was back when Rockstar’s latest incarnation was San Andreas, but a lot has changed since then. Way back in 2006, a little unknown title called Saints Row dropped on to the scene and was hailed as a GTA beater of some sorts.
