Storm Dain joins the 3rd Street Saints and vandalizes the colorful streets of Stilwater and his hometown of Reno, Neveda. He's sporting a new Bluetooth wireless microphone and a smug attitude towards
Grand Theft Auto IV, but who can blame him? Who can't appreciate color coded gangs, 300 pound mimes, and a taste for flamboyant art-direction? Yes, there's also the touchy subject of superior driving physics and glitched out missions objectives, but you can easily ignore all that when you're given a comprehensive detailed look into the world of Kool-Aid and MM's. Also, equip the detonator.

Also, Storm should start off with vodka and work his way up. Just saying.
Also, what's up with some the rewards (which you can't turn off) making the game less fun? The player is made stronger while notoriety from the cops/gangs take longer to build up.
Dicking around.
@Magnalon: After I beat SR2 the first time, I bought the first SR for the 360. There are some things that SR2 did a lot better, but for the most part SR is SR2 but slightly more linear with no aircraft and less impressive graphics. I would still recommend it. You might also want to look for a used copy of SR2 on places like Amazon.
One thing that I love about SR2 is that even when everything is beaten, you can still drive and fly around as you wish whereas SR's ending is rather ... final.
I like how Yahtzee describes it in that SR2 knows what it is. It doesn't try to be realistic and gritty but rather colorful and fun. I can't wait for SR3.
Also, another great episode Storm, keep it up!
hahaha, i c wut u did thar.
also, I loved GTA IV and SR2 in their own rights. Rockstar needs to dash that whole friendship meter deal, I hate being guilted into bowling with Roman. Jesus.
Amazon is showing that used copies of SR2 as of this posting are low as $18 for the PS3 and $20.25 for the 360 version. Shipping is usually $4. I'll be shocked if GameStop can even come close to that.
- PS3 version, 4 stars
- 360 version, 4 stars
- PC version, 2 stars (Yikes!!!)
And from reading the reviews it's clear that the PC version was a port/afterthought and that Volition designed SR2 for the 360/PS3. Yeah, stay away from the PC version.
I ordered the first Saints Row due to your recommendation :D
I'll hold out on the second one, as $20 is even too rich, considering I have a lot of new titles to check out.
GameStop has it for $26.99, $24.30 if you have their edge card.
Cars would blow-up for NO REASON. People's body parts would get stuck in the trunk of cars. One time, a random MPC just fell out of the sky, as if it was rain humans that day. The very best and only time this ever happened was, the time cops burst into my crib right, tried to arrest me. But, I got them first. So everyone in "my crib" didn't bother to move, everyone's still drinking, and the stripers still dancing, just like nothing going on. Dead bodies everywhere.
This went on for 45 minutes -- in an infinity loop. And as the new cops would come in, the old ones would start sinking into the geometry. I laughed my ass of for like, 20 minutes. I just wanted to see how bad it would get. I ran out of ammo. Then the Swat Team hit me with a rocket launcher. So damn funny. It's the best game ever.
You cannot take this game seriously. It's just to have fun, because it's broken, but in a good way.
If you live around the University, order some Jimmy John's today and I'll deliver a sandwich and some praise.
