Saints Row 2 brings true freedom to open-world gaming. 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.
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.
Limitless Customization - Play as fully customizable characters that are male, female or something in between. Vehicles can be visually customized as well as performance tuned. Cribs and even gangs all have an amazing degree of detailed customization options.
Multiplayer - Co-op full story campaign has seamless integration (for example one player drives while the other shoots). Competitive MP pushes the boundaries of immersion in a living Stillwater environment fully populated with police, innocent bystanders and rival gangs.
Killer Combat and Awesome Vehicles - Planes, helicopters, motorcycles, boats and cars can be piloted and used as weapons. On the ground new combat options include melee, fine aim, and human shield.
Freedom to Explore - More missions, activities, diversions, races, weapons, vehicles, cribs, city districts, and interiors than ever before. Over 40 story missions with additional bonus missions take place in a transformed Stilwater that is over 50% larger than before.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Some of the best cut scenes ever offered in a game, as well as real humor in a game about stealing cars. Loads of mini-games which are quite fun on their own. I will get the rest of the series (I've already played through 3), but I am giving it 4 stars just because it is not my type of game.
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.
SR2's PC port is notorious for being terrible. GOG's version is still better than Steam but its capped at low FPS and still buggy. If you want to play this, I recommend SR2 Juiced for a vanilla experience and Gentlemen of The Row in addition for further fixes, small additions and installing mods.
That aside, Saints Row 2 is one of the most underrated games in the open world crime sandbox genre. This game understands what the players WANT. Memorable characters, amazing story, tons of customisation options and side activities that are actually FUN!
Unlike future games in the franchise, SR2 perfectly balances over the top moments with serious ones. The story is grounded and serious with memorable moments and characters, while the side activites and open world give you the freedom to be fun and whacky Saints Row is known for.
And yes, this game has a tight-knit modding community on saintsrowmods.com. So if you run of stuff to do in the base game, you can add in new cars, new clothes, graphics mods, etc.
Definite buy, definitely use SR2 Juiced, though.
