Saints Row 2

Realy awsome oldschool title

The best saints row for PC, hands down. Can't say anything about Saints 1, because it's XBOX only, but I have played the rest.

cool game, nostalgic like most games. This one is special

[Overview] Saints Row 2 may not have been the highest selling game in the franchise. But it's by far the best of the series and one of the most important and influential games of it's generation. Despite being an incredible game, the PC version is held back by a very poor quality port. [Positives] - Improves upon the original Saints Row in almost every way. - One of the best maps in any game of it's genre. The sheer amount of detail and interiors in this game is impressive. Not even GTA V, a game that was released 5 years later, had this many enterable buildings. - The story is the best balance between comedy and seriousness that the series has to offer. Some of the cutscenes in this game are straight up cinematic quality at times. The characters are all great too. - Saints Row 2 has one of the greatest radio music selections of any game I've played. - The minigames are incredibly fun. - Really fun (albeit janky) game mechanics. [Mixed] - The GOG version is definitely better than the Steam version, but it's still not great without mods. Check out the PCGamingWiki for mods to fix this game further. - The driving physics are just okay. [Negatives] - The PC port of Saints Row 2 is bad. It's missing the DLC missions, it's buggy, and it runs poorly. Either mod the game, play it on console, or play through an emulator like Xenia or RPCS3. - Some of the difficulty is unfair. I finished the game on Hard, so maybe Normal isn't as bad. - The game can be fairly buggy and unstable, even on console. - A lot of gameplay involves shooting out of cars. This is fine in concept, but aiming in SR2 on controller feels pretty bad. You'll probably want to use keyboard and mouse. - The Dex story arc ends on a cliffhanger that was never resolved. [Conclusion] Despite the areas that haven't aged well, Saints Row 2 is one of the best games of it's console generation and is definitely a must play for anybody who likes open world crime games.
