This is a video review of Saints Row 2, wherein I weigh the relative strengths and weaknesses of the different gameplay mechanics and narrative conventions in an effort to, eventually, assign a numerical score denoting the game's value.

It also includes a lot of footage of my ingame avatar, which is pretty neat.

31 Ball busters.
24 Cunt kicks.

Sounds like this review is biased.

i enjoyed that. kicking people in the nuts is fun but you should try tossing people from high places, getting into a helicopter and flying as high as you can and jumping out. this game is infinitely more fun than gta in my opinion. I constantly have a smile on my face as i play by myself or coop with my brother.

Thank you for that in depth analysis... think there is any way you could also do a Head To Head with the different versions of the game as well?

Anthony,
Best video and review I have ever seen, ever, on Destructoid, hands down.

The kick down the stairs ending was a huge, barrel rolling bow on a wonderful present.

I don't understand the symbolism of using the sword.

Review of the review: 9/10.

Meh. It got old after about 10 kicks. More varied coolness would have been better.

And this SHOULD be the dToid review, just to see what shows up in the Metacritic blurb about it.

Oh my god, I had to try my hardest not to burst out in laughter here at work. Hilarious.

On a weird side note, the first time I hit play on the thing it played a video of how they pick Victoria's Secret models. I was like, "Huh?" Seriously, something went wrong somewhere in the tubes. The video worked for me the second time I tried though.

Thank you for this video. I needed to see Cunt Punts to de-stress me after the fucktards I've had to deal with today.

Can you please compare the relative merits of testicle-kicking in Saint's Row 2 to BioShock, Half-Life 2, and/or Braid?
