Good game, bad port

a studio called Volition came up with a Grand Theft Auto clone called Saints Row. Unfortunately, the first SR is console only and it seems it will never get a pc version. Saints Row 2 got a pc version and this is it. The pc version is a consoleport. Now it doesn't always mean that ported games are bad. However, this doesn't go up for SR2. When it got released it was a bad port. I have the steam version myself and first played it a bit without installing anything. Just download, launch and go. It was playable, to a certain hight. But when i was busy to defend my territory the game showed it's mean face. Driving cars was like as you were driving on ice. Then i learned about a mod called Gentlemen of the Row, made by IdolNinja. GotR fixes many bugs and add also extra things (such as better eyes). With GotR Saints Row 2 plays much better and looks better as well. As for the game itself; it looks alot like Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas, but you can more customize it. Also, you can choose gender. Gangwars, territory takeover, tag spray, your own crew, collectibles, houses, free roaming and alot of missions to do. Oh and you can change yourself. You play as the boss of the third street saints. You have no name and are simply called boss. During your absence the saints felt apart and there are now 3 gangs who have taken over stillwater. Actually 4, but the other ain't a gang. So time to set things right. Saints Row 2 is a great game, but it was poorly executed. When you install this game, do yourself a favor and download Gentlemen of the Row. Just like the CP saved Gothic III GotR saves Saints Row 2. http://idolninja.com/sr2.php Scroll down a bit for Gentlemen of the Row.

Profoundly mediocre

Firstly, except for an occasional crash (rare) I found no technical problems related to porting from console to PC (unless very poor car handling is a porting problem). But I watched Playstation walkthroughs on YouTube and I was not impressed by how cars handle on console. I played Saints Row the Third first (a couple of years back), but since everyone and their mother has such a high opinion if SR-2, I decided to buy it here on GOG. I regretted the purchase. Honestly, this should be a 2.5-star game. Here's why: - homies (your gang members) are completely useless. If you take them on missions hoping they will help you they will always get stuck in the environment, fall behind or die. In the case of 'soldiers' you don't care, but on many missions you have your lieutenants with you (Shaundi, Pierce, Gatt) and if they die you will fail the mission. Most missions are on a timer and having to revive your homies only slows gets in the way. - cars (even with Gentlemen of the Raw mod) are nearly impossible to drive, unless you are willing to set Cruise Control and drive slowly (and even then it is nearly impossible to drive straight on a straight road); and driving slowly is not an option if you need to chase someone or escape, and then trying to get anywhere by car or bike is an exercise in frustration. - I spent the first half of the game buying cribs. I thought I'd get an achievement bonus for buying all of them, but there's no such bonus and aside from looking cool, the cribs serve no purpose as you spend 80 % of the time in Purgatory (the original crib you get for free), plus a good 30-40% of missions originate in the Purgatory. - missions design is nonsensical - for example I have 50 grenades and an RPG but to blow up some rival trucks I need some guy to rig them with explosives and protect him while he works. - female characters (except Shaundi) are THE UGLIEST EVER... My list of complaints could really go on, but I've run out of space. SR-2 - not recommended

Buggy but still fun

Saints Row 2 is a brilliant, albeit, buggy game. With a powerful enough PC this won't be as much of a problem, but run this on a... let say... laptop, and you'll be wishing you had better machine. Which is a shame since Saints Row 2 is the best game in the series. Not as serious as Grand Theft Auto, but not as silly as later entries in this series. It's a good mix of spraying poo across corporate America, while mercy killing your OG's. Works well with Mouse and Keyboard, or with a controller. And is the smoothest way of playing this game today. (PS3 is a close second)
