You have heard about the full co-op. You've caught wind of customizable characters and the overwhelming amount of things to do in Saint's Row 2 already.

Well, here is something you (hopefully) didn't know (but probably did): For those of you who simply cannot wait until November's Left 4 Dead to start mowing down hordes of the undead, got some GREAT NEWS! Saint's Row 2 will have a Zombie Mini-Game, which will be acitivated whenever the player approaches an arcade game, in-game.

Check this shit out:

"Finally, because even the most violent criminal needs a home to call his own, you can also customize your crib. There's the option to simply upgrade your crib's overall theme from something cheap and run down to something much classier, or upgrade your furniture piece by piece. However, even the cheapest of entertainment centers gives you the ability to play one of Saints Row 2's hidden gems: a video game within the game called "Zombie Uprising." Rather than a retro arcade game, this is actually a fully 3D zombie game that applies the look and feel of the regular game to a darker, more zombie-filled setting. In it you need to survive wave after wave of undead with a limited number of weapons and fellow survivors. It may be a poor man's Left 4 Dead, but it's still a very cool throw-in that's indicative of just how much there is to do in Saints Row 2 if you go around looking."

That's from gamespot. So these dudes ain't fucking around this time, where as Rockstar just fucked around and dropped the ball. Basically it goes like this: If this DLC that is coming out in November does not contain zombies in it, it's basically going to be DO-fuckin'-A.

Another way Saint's Row 2 is going to trump GTA IV is going to be in the music department. To wit:

You can even create a custom radio station available to listen to in any car you find. To do this, you go to a record shop and buy individual tracks (using in-game currency) at $20 a pop. If you're up to the task, you can pool wildly differing songs from all the game's stations into one huge pirate radio station. For example, you can borrow A-Ha's "Take On Me" from the '80s station, Minus the Bear's "Knights" from the indie station, Run DMC's "Sucker MCs" from the rap station, LCD Soundsystem's "North American Scum" from the electronic station, and Mastadon's "Colony of Birchmen" from the metal station and use them all to create one great, big radio station thoroughly customized to your liking. (And maybe even throw Europe's "The Final Countdown" in there somewhere, if that's your thing.)

So are any of you fruits going to pre-order this? Or are you going to wait for the reviews, which, let's face it, don't mean much these days?
