Underrated Game - Saints Row 2


Saints row (SR) 2 is an awesome game. It is often compared to GTA4. I am one of the few that were disappointed with GTA4. As a matter of fact I sold my copy shortly after beating it. Screw GTA facts. SR did so much right. The mini games are very fun and well thought out. There is a mini game were you spray sewage to bring down property. One of the more memorable mini games is the hit list. You are given about five hit list total. Each list contains about five people. The list gives you small hints as to where the people can be found or what they prefer to do. One of the hits a guy was found under a bridge with a lot of homeless people. They even give you a little help to make sure that you are attacking the right target. Whenever a target walks by a little target icon represents the person. Another fun mini game is chop shop. Chop shop works pretty much the same as hit list but of course, they are cars and not people. Another favorite of the diversions is fight club. Fight club locks you in a room with up to six guys and you all fight to the death. There are so many different things that you can do in the game.

I almost forgot to cover one of the best parts of the game CUSTOMIZATION! You can customize almost everything in this game. Customization can best be described by sections. Let’s start with your gang. You can customize what type of clothes they were, specific types of cars they drive and even your gang insignia during spray paint. You can customize cars. Car customization ranges from a least 30 different types of rims to over 20 different colors. The paint types range from candy to metal and even a matte finish. Customization of course includes your avatar. There are tattoos for arms, legs, chest and even different parts of the back. Clothing can be customized from coats to underpants and bras.

I guess the point is that the game is a load of fun. SR did not get as much attention as it deserved. However, it has sold over 2 million YTD. I guess games like mirror edge getting more sales than SR seems unfair. Why unfair? The fact is if you like SR or not you have to agree that you are getting much more game for the same price.
