Fantastic, as always. Keep them coming Storm.

Great. Very entertaining.

Great stuff again, oh and I entirely disagree again... Never mind.

Love the review! Rev. Anthony's review is what prompted me to get Saints Row 2 as I generally loathe sandbox games. As a note, I did not encounter the detonator problem on the PS3, so it may be a PC-specific bug.

Hurr hurr fat people are funny. Well, actually it is in this instance, only because the idea of a giant mime gangster running around blowing stuff up amuses me. Very entertaining.

Also, Storm should start off with vodka and work his way up. Just saying.

i never had any of those glitches on mine, so it was straight up awesome sauce.

I never had to deal with the glitch he mentioned I'm not taking down the Ultor company and loving this game so damn much. It's an example of what all games should be just good clean fun.

I too I played through the whole thing and encountered no glitches. I could understand how it would tarnish the playing experience though.

I can't afford Saints Row 2 at it's current price, but would any of you guys recommend the first game?

I don't like beer either...

Funnily enough, the driving in SR2 actually bothers me more. The reason being is if you want to use triggers for accelerate/brake control scheme, the button typically used for handbrake is used for inventory instead. When pressed, steering control is taken away so you can select your weapon.

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.

Great timing. I only started playing SR2 a few days ago but I still don't think it's better than GTA IV. Liberty City had a lot more charm and believability to it and IV just seemed a lot more polished. However, when you take away the story and setting, it isn't nearly as fun as Saints Row 2. Both great games for different reasons.

Dicking around.

I absolutely adore SR2 to the point that I started it all over again when I finished it. I'm considering starting it over a third time. And, I'm not trying to start a fanboy war, but I played SR2 on my PS3 before GTA IV and the Jackson 5 -- wait...scratch that last bit. Whereas it wasn't bug-free, it didn't have nearly as many glitches as you implied you had with the 360 version. I do, however, agree 100% with your position on driving. Screw realism. SR2's driving physics were far more enjoyable.

@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.

Mag, definitely give the first game a shot. I played it immediately upon beating GTA4 and I enjoyed it immensely.

Also, another great episode Storm, keep it up!

"but I played SR2 on my PS3 before GTA IV and The Jackson 5..."
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.

@Magnalon:

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.

Yeah get the game on 360 or PS3, it's gonna be fun either way. Unless you're a achievement whore then get the 360. But for the love of god don't get on the PC it will crash your computer so many times the you're left with nothing but a blank screen and tearful 360 controller in your hand.

To back up NomadicTroll, I think the Amazon ratings, which I find to be trustworthy for most video games, say it all.

- 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.

Comparing Reno to Stilwater to reno had me rolling. Great video! I feel very much the same way. When I first played GTAIV, I loved it to death, but then SR2 came out and I played and finished it twice in a row. I tried to go back to GTAIV after that but I just couldn't play it. SR2 was by far the superior game IMO.

Your dislike of beer makes me sad. Also, I never experienced that glitch in SR2, but I do agree that it's far more enjoyable than GTAIV.

@John
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.

I disagree. Again.

@John B

GameStop has it for $26.99, $24.30 if you have their edge card.

Completely agree. I enjoyed SR2 far more than GTA IV. I sold GTA shortly after finishing it, but I return to Stillwater again and again to wreak havoc even after finishing the story a long time ago. I had no glitches on the 360.

I LOVED SR2. He was right about the detonators. Had to do that mission twice. But you skipped over the funniest bits. The part about how cars would just disappear, or randomly fly off into space. The game is broken -- but in a good way. We'd spend hours laughing about how things would just POP of screen.

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.

Holy Fuck! I'm from Reno too!
If you live around the University, order some Jimmy John's today and I'll deliver a sandwich and some praise.

psh vegas > reno.

I can't say I enjoyed SR2 more than GTAIV, since I am still playing GTAIV long after finishing it and I put down SR2 after one play through and never touched it again, not owning it might have something to do with that, but I didn't enjoy it enough to merit going out and buying my own copy and not just playing my friends. I have to agree with your analogy about drinking and suffering through something just to get use to it, as I also don't drink for the same reasons but did get use to the driving in GTA, hand break turns work for me. Though it sometimes seems we live our whole lives just getting use to things, like all these sand box games having no split screen or co-op, but that is a different argument. Great adventure as always Storm, now I must go and have a nice tall glass of M&M's, please keep the videos coming.

I never had that problem with the detenator on SR2
