Overview Players can cause large amounts of chaos throughout Stilwater. Saints Row 2 is a crime-themed, mission-based, open world game that looks to continue evolving the over-the-top gameplay formula of its predecessor. With many comparisons to the GTA series, it is no surprise that Volition have chosen to take the game in this direction to individualize it and perhaps gain an identity outside of all those comparisons. Saint's Row 2 has the player work his way through a vastly improved Stilwater, a 150% larger version of the city with new areas including a prison island, a power plant, suburbs, and some underground sections, dispensing of rival gang members and otherwise unruly denizens to reclaim the turf and respect his once lofty gang has lost.
A wide variety of vehicles can be used, including biplanes. Saint's Row 2 boasts many of the same features of the first game such as diversions (known as 'Activities'), as well as a host of new features such as varying degrees of customization including complete character customization, vehicle customization, and crib customization, a revamped respect system, new vehicles including jets, speedboats, jet skis, helicopters, and monster trucks, new weapons including rocket launchers, shock paddles, stun guns, and satchel charges, co-op gameplay, and online multiplayer.
Story [external image] The Third Street Saints. Saints Row 2 picks up several years after the events of the first game. The Boss, the player's character who was thought to be dead at the end of the first game after being betrayed by his own gang members, awakes from a coma induced by a bombed yacht but is horribly disfigured. The game opens with a reconstructive surgical procedure, allowing players to freely customize the look of the player character. Upon returning to Stilwater, the lead character notices that much has changed, from building renovations that have added more high-rise buildings and apartments, to the situations that his old friends and gang members have gotten into. The player character must now deal with all of these changes and somehow restore the Row to its former glory.
Gangs There are four gangs in Stilwater:
3rd Street Saints - The player character's gang. The Saints were broken up after the events of the first game, and it's time to bring them back, stronger than ever. Their flag color is purple. Brotherhood of Stilwater - A gang that largely deals with violent crimes and extortion. Led by Maero. Their flag color is red. Ronin - A Japanese gang that deals with gambling and prostitution. Led by Shogo Akuji, though his father seems to really have most of the power. Their flag color is yellow. Sons of Samedi - A gang that deals with heavy drug trafficking. Led by "The General". Their flag color is green.Gameplay The combat of Saints Row 2 is slightly different from that of other games in the genre. For starters, there is no lock on-targeting system, with the player having to free aim. This can be accomplished by either pressing the fire button when pointed at an enemy, or the player can click in the left stick for a more accurate, "zoomed-in" aiming mode. If the player has a gun equipped, the right trigger will fire, while the left trigger will melee attack. If the player has an inventory melee weapon available, it can be swung with both the left and right triggers. If unarmed, the player's melee has a sort of "combo" system; if the player successfully lands three hits on an opponent, the third hit will spin the camera around and cinematically show the character performing a special attack that ground his enemy. By holding either trigger, the player can also charge up his attack, making it extra deadly. A couple of interesting features of SR2's combat are the use of environmental objects and the human shield mechanic. There are certain objects in the game that can be picked up and wielded like melee weapons, like cinder blocks or chairs. These items can be dropped however, if the player is knocked down, and are not held in the inventory like normal weapons. Also, by holding the left bumper the player can take a nearby enemy hostage as a "human shield". While having a shield, the player is virtually invincible from the front, but moves slower in return. Also, by pressing the left trigger, the player will "execute" his shield in a way specific to the weapon he is holding. There are numerous weapons that appear in Saints Row Two, which include:
Melee Pepper Spray Chainsaw Shock paddles Machete Baseball Bat Butterfly Knife Knife Taser Pimp Slap (Slaps enemy and sends them flying) Nightstick Sledgehammer Crowbar Samurai Sword Pistols (can be dual wielded) 44 Shepard GDHC .50 Vice 9 NR4 Kobra (Auto with Laser Sight) SMGs (can be dual wielded) GAL-43 SKR-9 Threat TK3 Urban Shotguns Tombstone 12 Gauge (Double barrel) AS14 Hammer Pimp Cane (Also makes your character pimp-walk) XS-2 Ultimax Assault Rifles AR-40 Xtnd ( M-16) AR-50 XMAC AR-50 XMAC w/ Grenade Launcher AR200 SAW K6 Krukov ( AK-47) Specials [external image] Unlocking the Flamethrower.

Rewards: Vehicle Delivery, reduced Sons of Samedi notoriety.

General Collecting There are a few thing to collect in Saints Row 2, like CDs and other things.

Civil Services Taxi driving, firefighting, vigilante and towing vehicles. You saw 'em all before on GTA, and they're pretty much the same here.
Streaking Simply go to any of the clothing stores in Stillwater, or one of your cribs, hit the X button to go into your own wardrobe, then go to the very last menu option and choose to remove all your clothes. Then go out in public and a Diversion will start that will give you a time limit to offend as many people as possible. As the levels go up, the more people you're required to offend with your nakedness.
Ho'ing Only located in one or two spots around the city, generally at public toilet stops, strip clubs, or adult bookstores in the Red Light District. You and a prostitute occupy a toilet cubicle for sex. Pleasure your lady for up to 10 levels to unlock a pimp outfit!

Censored Version in Germany Saints Row 2 could only be released as a heavily censored version in Germany, since the USK determined that the game might be harmful to minors and likened it to criminal activity, despite it being rated too high for minors to play in the first place. The game has been so heavily censored that on Xbox Live, gamer scores for the game appear separate for the International version and the German version (which appears as "Saints Row 2 BRD"). Despite these efforts, the game is easily available in Germany from surrounding countries.
A thorough list of differences to the uncensored version (in German) can be found at schnittberichte.com. The save games of the censored German version are not compatible with the uncensored version.
