    I have not played the first game of Saints Row because it's not on Steam yet but when it was released for free I managed to get it and played the 2nd version called Saints Row 2

    The game is pretty good! I like how they followed the story in the game of rebuilding the 3rd Street Saints and how it really ended in the game. The activities are really fun but tough. One of my favorite activities in the game is the fight club. The controls were really hard to handle before but I managed to get a hang of it. The rewards are also neat in the game however there are some things that are really off

    The game is a little buggy, laggy, and glitchy, weapons like the dual katana glitch are less favorable in use, and the upgrade type of style by unlocking with activities is not really my style. But it's just before Saint Row The 3rd

    The game may look incomplete but still, I really recommend it.    … Expand

    It's an interesting game. Although it is not an RPG game, it has a very deep character creation screen. Even for the year it was released, I found this aspect very successful. The story and gameplay were not bad either. The fact that we can create our character in the game saved the game from being a bad GTA copy.

    This game is an undervalued master piece! This was my second Saints game, being SR3 my very first experience. I got this game from the humble bundle and i wasen't even expecting to play it, but after liking SR3 quite a lot, i decided to just try it for a few moments, but DAAAANG! i got SOO hooked as soon as i started doing those first missions. There are tons of activities in this game,This game is an undervalued master piece! This was my second Saints game, being SR3 my very first experience.

There are tons of activities in this game, the world feels alive and you can actually spend hours just roaming around just seeing the city or just searching for the massive amount of easter eggs. The story is just badass, so many iconic moments. Gat is awesome and the other crew members are very memorable. I loved every aspect of this game and i would dare to say is almost as good as GTA4. Volition outdid themselves with this game. More people should play and be aware of how awesome great this game is. It kinda looks dated, but everything else is just amazing.

    If i were to rate this game, it would be a 91 out of 100. Yeah, seriously! it's that good!    … Expand

    C'est l'un des meilleurs de la série c'est l'exemple du jeu qui ne se prend pas au sérieux. On peut tout faire frauder à l'assurance balancer de la merde contre des immeubles prendre des putes en stop. Le côté no limit est très jouissif.

    While I've heard the game is the best in the Franchise and the characters and the story are fun, the dated graphics and lack of many things(I had to look up how fast travel worked and even then it didn't really work) such as upgrading weapons are what hold it back for me, as I tried to get into the game but getting spawned halfway across the map from where I was supposed to go really annoyed me.

    The same studio that made Cyberpunk 2077 (CD PROJEKT RED) made this terrible, unfinished, crashing, unsupported, and terrible PC port.

    This has to be the best Saints Row game and still the best alternative to GTA out there even after all these years. Especially if you're a fan of GTA San Andreas, since SR2 takes the ''Gangsta'' theme concept to the next level and builds an entire game around it, with great results.

Especially if you're a fan of GTA San Andreas, since SR2 takes the ''Gangsta'' theme concept to the next level and builds an entire game around it, with great results.

    Building up the 3rd Street Saints back from ground up is satisfying as the story progresses, and you're offered some fun options around the gang mechanics and it's customization. Stillwater is an impressively detailed game world for a 2008 game considering it was up against GTA 4's Liberty City at the time. There is a lot diversity in terms of the districts in Stillwater, each with it's own unique identity, suprising amount of interiors to explore, NPC's doing different things around the city making it feel alive.

    Story feels like a perfect blend of goofiness and seriousness, and while the main story is relatively short, there is still plenty of variety offered in terms of mission design and how you tackle the 3 rival gangs, aswell as the 4th faction later on in the game. Side activities feel like mini missions in on themselves. The character builder is another neat aspect of the game, offering quite a bit of choice and detail in how you want your Boss to look like, which gets enhanched later on as you play, with the game giving you a nice amount of visual customization via buying clothes and jewelry across several branded stores in Stillwater. Buying cribs was another good feature, and them being customizable made it even better.

    Combat in the game also kind of stands out, especially in terms of melee weapons, aswell as the ability to pick up a ton of objects from the game world's environment and use them to beat up your foes. The different martial art styles offer a welcome addition to melee combat depth too. The gun selection is ok and feel mostly satisfying to use when blasting enemies.

    But there is one irritating issue with the PC version that keeps it down, it's unsuprisingly the optimization, or lack there of. The core problem is the stuttering that regularly occurs, which gets especially problematic when you're driving. And speaking of driving, it's underwhelming in terms of feel, and if you're playing with a mouse and keyboard, it's even worse since the driving mechanics are way too sensitive and twitchy with keyboard inputs. And since you're doing a lot of driving in a game like this, it gets on your nerves eventually. When flying airplanes a similiar issue persists. Besides the stuttering issue, the game runs fine.    … Expand

The story is lengthy and never dull, conquering Stilwater feels way more fun than conquering Steelport twice, well, except for Genki, you may not wanna hear it, but Genki is the peak of Saints Row. The only downside is the PC port runs like complete dog **** in fact, Saints Row IV runs smoothly on my PC where as Saints Row II is unplayable, luckily I played this on XBOX One.

    On the surface, Saints Row is an easy game to hate. Actually, I have a feeling that a lot of players and reviewers will write this game off for the sheer stupidity at play at all times. But to do so would be a big disservice to a game that tries hard to do a lot of things and show you a good time. Did we have a good time? Definitely.
