Game Review #2: Saints Row 2

SR2 Basically picks up from where you left off in SR1. You start off at the surgeons office in the new Stillwater Police island place thing. So you choose your gender race build and allthat jazz allthough personally I chose a female :p but gender doesnot physically effect your person in anyway.
Really, the aim this time round is to conquer Stillwater once more and become the King (or Queen)
of Stillwater

Familliar activities are here along with some awesome new ones including Fuzz. Where you dress up in Police garb and enforce the law brutally with the camera man which is really fun. Another great activity is Crowd Control, this is where you dress up in a bodyguars suit and protect the VIP by stopping crazed fans and earning cash in order to complete the level, a cool feature is where you get a number of different ways of dealing with them, like throwing them into a jet wing or pushing them into a car engine or forcing them into a fast moving train.

Online, I have to admit, I'm dissapointed about it. Theres only Gangsta Brawl, Team Gangsta Brawl and Strong Arm which basically is doing alot of the singleplayer activities, multiplayer style which can be fun but gets reppetetive after a while but on the other hand, co-op is brilliantly executed, This is like GTAIV Party mode only 1000X awesomer!! This is to me is majoratively based on the fact that there are PLANES!!! The physics of them are so shit that they are fun.

Overall I give SR2 a good 9.5/10

Customisation-8/10
Gameplay-8/10
Fun-10/10
Multiplayer-7/10
