Anyone here enjoying this one? Thought that there would be laods of people all over it. But no hype about it in here!?!? |

I tried it and IMHO it sucks big time. Poorly optimized, terrible graphics, clunky movement, very dumb arcade-like gameplay, and overly simplistic missions with highlighted spots telling you where to go. This is like a really bad GTA wannabe game with a certain Midnight Club idiocy to it. Hey, but that's just my take. After all, you wanted to know. |

Well, Zero Punctuation actually seemed to like Saints Row 2, so I was wondering about picking it up. Then a realised that I've got more than enough stuff to be playing already... ;) From the sounds of it, it's like a Full!Sandbox!GTA. I'm not too bothered about slightly dated graphics if the gameplay is fun. Am kind of worried about it being just a poor console port, though. |

Same here. I don't see why there should be any hype to begin with. Mafia 2 is on the way, I wait for GTA4 to hit the bargain bin because of the DRM and nightmarish installation, so I think I'll wait for Saints Row 2 to be as cheap as it looks. We'll see which'll be first to make it onto my HDD :lol: |

The patch greatly increased performance in the game, which was nice, but it still runs much worse than it should, looking at it. It's basically a fun minigame version of Grand Theft Auto, if that's your thing. If San Andreas was your favorite GTA game then you should buy Saint's Row 2. |

I enjoyed this a lot more than GTA4. Solid. A shame I skipped this over for so long. |

Just bought a cheap copy of SR2 and... I realized a bit too late this thing is Steam-powered. I also noticed FEAR 2 (boxed) is now a bargain... Will I eventually "have to" join the Steam crowd and feed Fat Boy Gabe like everybody else ? :? :lol: |

nothing wrong with steam. Some people object to the loss of some ownership feeling. It bugs me on rare occassion, but mostly I don't mind. |

Had I known this was a Steam game I would not of bought it also. Steam is just too darn big brother and I dislike that. SR2 is a great game if you can manage to run the driving parts with out stuttering. I've shelved the game till I do my next major system update, I get stutter badly even on my Raid 0+C2D4.0ghz setup. |
