Saints Row 2

This anti-GTA IV doesn't have the technical niceties (graphical hiccups abound) or Oscar-worthy story of Rockstar's magnum opus, but wins on pure fun factor and gleeful silliness. Co-op is huge fun and the character creation tools are immense. Score one for the Third Street Saints.

Hey you people who want to know how to unlock the mission to kill Julius, this is the way to do it. First go to the police station in the saints row district and go to either the second or third floor and you will see a room with tinted windows, go int the room and you will see a lot of saints mission logos well they aren't missions they are voice recordings, listen to them all and then go into the office in the back and one more will be there, listen to it and then you get Dex added to your phone. Call him and then go to the curch. There will be a Ultor logo and play the mission and then you meet Julius and then you do a mission together then you kill him. Anymore questions!!!???

Can teabagging ninjas and the crap cannon dethrone the mighty GTA?
Aug 04, 2008
When talking about Saints Row 2, it’s impossible not to immediately acknowledge the hulking beast that is GTA IV. The Saints Row series is forever doomed to live in the shadow of one of gaming’s hugest franchises, and has so far come up short in its attempts to overthrow the king.  » Read Full Saints Row 2 preview

Can it compete with GTA IV? We say, "Ehhhhh..."
Apr 04, 2008
Saints Row 2 is not pretty, it is not refined, and it is not realistic. "We're going for a very over-the-top feel," commented James Tsai, the game's lead designer, as we chatted with him at THQ's yearly preview event.The game is very over-the-top, both in gameplay and story, the latter of which has been criticized as an exercise in tired racial stereotypes and naive views of "street life." James disagrees. "It's about having fun. The » Read Full Saints Row 2 preview

Saints Row 2
Is there a gang war on the cards?
Jan 25, 2008
The original Saints Row was perhaps the most successful Grand Theft Auto copycat to date, and its sequel is promising to up the ante with a series of tweaks to the winning crime sim formula. Unsurprisingly, gang warfare is still the order of the day as you guide your chosen gangbanger through an expanded version of Stillwater City. But while the games themes remain unchanged there is talk of a darker storyline that picks up some years on from the explosive final act of the first game - » Read Full Saints Row 2 preview
