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.

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.

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