A buggy, budget GTA clone
This crashes constantly, the airborne controls are broken, missions glitch, and audio is badly compressed. That said, even when working as intended, Saint's Row 2 is still astoundingly shoddy. This was outdated and generic by 2008 standards. Don't believe the nostalgia. Textures are low-res. Turn around and traffic disappears. NPCs and debris clip into cars. Fast travel is hidden. Ladders don't work. Vehicles have no weight. Sound effects sound like they came from a free stock library. Vehicle damage modeling is amateurish. The open world is dull and devoid of traffic. The radio is full of public domain songs, cheap lounge music, and polka. Saint's Row 2 feels like a San Andreas fan mod, going so far as to recycle songs from Vice City and San Andreas. Rather than differentiate the series from GTA, the devs doubled down and copy-pasted San Andreas's graffiti collectibles, side missions, and obnoxious turf wars. Saints Row's attempt to replicate GTA's humor and satirical radio stations is especially embarrassing. The real problem is that the main gimmick--the gang-simulation mechanic--is shallow and adds little to gameplay. Character customization isn't enough to carry a game. Driving is arcadey, AI is dumb, and combat is mediocre. There's no feature here that hasn't been done better elsewhere. Play GTA IV, Saint Row 3, Mafia: Definitive Edition, or Sleeping Dogs instead if you want a polished open-world crime game.
