The first thing that sort of sets the tone of the game is right at the beginning the first thing you do is choose what your person looks like, acts like and sounds like – completely different to Grand Theft Auto.
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. 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.
