This is the best news I've heard all day. As a self-confessed lover of all things transgendered, the news that
Saint's Row 2 will give you the ability to play as a delicious trap is something that I cannot simply ignore. I may have disliked the original
Saint's Row due to its completely hamfisted handling of the subject matter and complete lack of irony or wit, but how can I say no to this? Shemales are what make life worth living.
It's all in the customization, you see. About the only thing of any depth in the original was the advanced character creation, which is being taken to a higher level, if the latest game details to surface are to be believed. You can now play as "a man, a woman, or anything in-between." Not many games can let you do that. Well, outside of every Final Fantasy game to date.
Other details include the use of aircraft, which you will be able to fly into one side of a building and out of the other, although not to the point of destruction. A wise move, considering the critics would instantly jump on it as a 9/11 sim. Boats and motorbikes will also come as standard. Additionally, you will be able to take hostages and use them as human shields, as well as dual wield guns and even take things from the environment, like mailboxes or road signs, as weaponry.
Add into the mix a much larger cityspace and a complete two player co-op mode that lets you and a friend play the entire storyline together, and you have a game full of bountiful promise. As skeptical as I was about another Saint's Row, I must admit that this all has me very interested. Of course, I'm mostly just thinking about those tasty, tasty traps.

Just fucking with you Jim.
the phantom m made the story good... bring it back.
also, in agreement with shadow, prototype will be better.
still, sounds like it could be fun.
*Sigh* I know ...
Do you wish to detail this statement? I'm genuinely curious about it.

Create Zangief.
That's the dumbest shit i've ever heard. Doesn't Ace Combat have an buildings you can fly into or is that just something that developers won't touch?
If so - then is that why GTA 4 doesn't have planes? And if rockstar won't touch it, who will? This is bullshit.
crackdown+saintsrow2=fail for rockstar
*blank stares*
That was immediately followed by "You are so full of shit," and "That sounds like something Destructoid would make up."
But I was serious. Ball. Off.
Well, I guess you can't blame them.
I will probably play as a woman if I get my hands on this game. Lesbians?
And damn those terrorists, now we can never have games that allow us to crash planes into buildings.
So, this is Grand Theft Eunuch?
...for reals.
Agreed on all counts.
