Saints Row 2

BOTTOM LINE:
8.75 out of 10

CONCEPT:
Take the GTA template in a completely
gonzo (and often ridiculously entertaining) direction

GRAPHICS:
The first Saints Row benefited from being the first next-gen
sandbox-style game. This time around, it suffers in comparison to the gorgeous
GTA IV

SOUND:
A very solid soundtrack balancing
well-and little-known tracks in a variety of genres. The voiceovers won’t win
any Oscars, but they are fine in context

PLAYABILITY:
It’s a bit rough around the edges, especially online, but you can
drive and shoot things just fine

ENTERTAINMENT:
In
its own silly, b-movie way, it’s a damn fun game

REPLAY:
High
