One city, one gang and over one thousand things to do.
The main story will take about the average person slightly over twenty plus hours to complete. If you add all the activities and other certain things you have to do such as collecting things around the city and spray walls with graffiti then your looking at a game that will keep you occupied for a very long time. There are even certain missions you can find that are hidden such as the meet with Julius the old gang leader of the saints.
Unless you have played the first saints row game your going to be missing out on feeling you get while playing the main story line so i do recommend renting or buying the first saints row if your going to be playing this one.
The multiplayer surprisingly is a little weaker in this game with the lack of the game modes that were featured in saints row one and lack of gangs that you could join and create. However even though the multiplayer is a little weaker, the main game itself is a hell of a lot stronger. The graphics are colorful and unique and there are literally tons of weapons in this game to play around with. You can fly planes, drive boats, cars and even bikes. Hell even a UFO spaceship if you put in the cheat.
Customization is top notch as you can customize your gangs looks and cars they drive around. Customization for your character is even better as you can choose your looks, voice, walk, emotes and fighting styles. You can intimidate people and they will attack you or you can give them compliments to get a response. Basically you can interact with every character in the game world but only slightly.
You can parachute from planes or just fly them around and destroy things. Now you can't mention saints row 2 without GTA IV but how this game scored lower is beyond me. This game is everything that GTA IV isn't and more. Besides the physics and graphics all GTA IV has to offer is a long story line and nothing after but a expansion pack and a few short activities not to mention annoying phone calls every couple of minutes. Saints row 2 is a much longer and funner game overall.
Saints row 2 is a fantastic experience for any gamer looking to roam free around a city destroying things. So go do yourself a favor and at very least rent this game because i promise you won't regret it.
