So, without further ado, watch as I kneel at Saints Row 2′s alter of fun while laughing at Niko Bellic’s realistic and harsh environment in Grand Theft Auto 4… I’ve watched a lot of Zero Punctuation’s vids and this review is probably the most complimentary of them all. Well he did pick up on some things but it was generally very positive. If you’d prefer not to watch it yourself (it’s animated and very funny) I’ll sum up why I trusted it of all things Yahtzee always finds something to complain about in a game and usually takes the piss but with SR2 he didn’t. I use the word “review” lightly because it is more Yahtzee just ranting about things. However I did first see a “review” of this game from The Escapist Magazine. Over 40 story missions with additional bonus missions take place in a transformed Stilwater that is over 50% larger than before.I knew nothing about Saints Row 2 before I downloaded it (which probably isn’t the cleverest thing to do – jumping into a sequel without playing the previous game or knowing anything but the title), what can I say, I’m impulsive.

Set years after the original, the player finds himself in a Stilwater both familiar and strange and challenged with bringing the Saints back as the rightful kings of Stilwater and bringing vengeance to those who wronged him. Players can play as who they want, how they want, and with whomever they want in this sequel to the much acclaimed and tremendously successful Saints Row. Saints Row 2 brings true freedom to open-world gaming.
