Saints Row 2

Yes I did have issues with the GOG version (oddly no problems with the Steam version), and yeah sure it may not have a tank, or the cool weapons come out way to late in the game, the ending is a let down, and there may be nothing to do once you beat the game. But in the end I just enjoy the game too much to worry about the issues. I like the idea that your a crime boss starting out, I have many files where I RP as other well known crime bosses like Kingpin, Penguin, even Jason Vourhees one time. I liked the idea of the Brotherhood as a modern take of a tribe; with their leader being the biggest and strongest and having the largest mount (monster truck), all the warriors having tattoo's, all of them taking care of their calvery (vehicals) and weapons, and scavenging their land for resources. I like the customization you can give to your character, I like the side details you didn't know you could do until you accidentally find out, all in all there's alot to like. So if your looking for an open world sandbox crime boss simulator with a plausible story to go with, have fun.

No Linux support, which is officially available on Steam.

U need to have 1X respect to play missions, otherwise u have to do side missions. The story is ok, car handling is bad, the cars stop too fast.

This game is great, love the feeling of nostalgia when i play. The only downfall is you HAVE to have saints row 2 juiced mod for it to work properly. Without the mod be prepared to feel like it was a waste of money.

Saints Row 2 is probably the best sandbox style crime themed game I have ever played, but the port is notoriously bad. So bad in fact that it is unplayable for some, fortunately for me it works well enough to be playable even if newer games run better. Port issues aside it offers a character creation system more robust than many MMOs I have played(which you can access in game if you want), a vehicle customization system, a good sized city to play around in, decent combat and driving, one of the best sountracks of any GTA type game, and tons of missions/activities/collectables/races. So, should you try this game? Yes, and if it doesn't work I would be sad that you couldn't play Saints Row 2 but you can always get a refund if you buy it here on GOG.
