Saints Row 2 offers full character customization where as you can be yourself as you play the game. You can create a character which reflects you in real life. The way you look, your race, the way dress and your gender. There are alot of clothes to buy in many stores which offers various tastes for clothing. You can change everything you wear the way you like it, and anytime you feel like doing so. Now, you can create any gender or be a woman and dress like a man or the way around. Being a sexy chic or simple school girl gangster is now playable in this game
This game has the most number of hair style one can have in a game. One can change to a formal hairdo to an exotic dreadlocs hairdo with just a visit to the plastic surgeon.
Saints Row 2 is the lime light of all action games because it has alot flash and blings. There are alot of jewelry stores where you can buy necklaces, earrings, rings, and many more accessories. It is very innovative of Saints Row 2 to have a unique feature where you can change what metal you like for your jewelry. Choosing from steel, silver, and gold, a player may wish to wear what suits him most.
Buying Clothes plus the jewelries and other possessions gives you style points which makes it easier to earn more respect. When you don't change clothes, you will get negative reactions from the people around.
This game has the most number of weapons ever. My favorite weapons are katana, chainsaw, taser and AK47.
Asside from these weapons, you can pick up anything on the ground and turn it into a weapon. You can even pick up a wheelchair and smash it on someone.
The shine of the game didn't end at just jewelries. It also offered glossy awesome cars. The cars shine because you can fully customize your ride at shops which you can visit you anytime in order to make your car as cool as possible. Don't think the game is costly because you spend alot on customization. It's a really convenient part of the game in which you can just steal a customized car. It just takes an observant eye and you can spot people around you driving really hot cars and steal them. I really like the way this game included really rare cars, one can only spot at certain time and place, and one can buy for a really expensive price. It added more thrill to the game. The time and effort on saving cash to buy the most expensive car and the time consuming search and wait for a rare car is so fulfilling when you get what you want in the end. The best rides would be the Bear, FBI, Bulldog and Superiore.
Cash is easy to earn on Saints Row 2. Just be industrious and patient.
You will be playing this game for really long fun-filled and action packed ours. It is because it has alot of missions. The most action packed which had me at the edge of my bed is the snatch activity.
SR2 has tons of activities and diversions.
The most brutal of all is the Drive-by Diversion. It's a war where dead bodies scatter the streets and the sound of explosions means danger to your crew. Quickness is decision making matters most as you see you car start to smoke or when RPGs and grenades start raining to your vehicle.
The test of patience really got me eating while playing or just holding my controller and listening to the games radio stations' music. This test of patience is the Chop Shop activity. Saints Row 2 was really realistic on this part of the game. You will find a car depending on time, weather, place, people and environment. It really got me thinking on where I may find that certain car needed. The creators of this game really put their heart on to this game and they made it as realistic as possible.
This is the one thing you can only find in Saints Row 2: party system. Playing an action game single player is now better than ever. You can call homies to ride with you. You and your crew will protect each other in order to dominate and eliminate other gangs. There will only be a maximum of 3 crew members you can bring along to ride with you but expect nearby allies to assist you when you are attacked close to them. The funniest moments I had in the game was being able to ride with the special crew. These are the ones you unlock when you finish certain mission. I had lots of laugh with the special crew member you unlock when you finish a certain mission. He sings with the tune of So Sick by Ne-Yo. He's the funniest crew member.
The most innovative part of this party system is that homies can snatch other vehicles and follow you from behind. You can do this when you ride a 2-seater. The other 2 crew members will find another vehicle.
How about using a human shield? Or shooting an enemy behind a human shield killing both the hostage and the enemy. It's all in this game. Try throwing someone on top of the highest building.
I played the mission on hardcore mode and I can say that there really difficult missions. Just be creative, bring the right crew, right weapons and alot of ammo.
There are air and water vehicles now in SR2. The controls on these vehicles are unique and easy to get used to. There are motorcycles. The Kenshin for me is the most fun to ride on. Doing jumps on in was fun.
Saints Row 2 has so many features. Endless possibilities you can do. It has alot of great music you can listen to on the radio or buy as an mp3 for your audio player. It's the best game ever.
