"Saints Row 2 wird erstmals auch auf dem PC veröffentlicht! Inhaltlich spielt der Titel einige Jahre nach den Ereignissen des ersten Saints Row(tm). Die Stadt Stilwater hat sich weiter entwickelt und ist sowohl vertraut als auch eigenartig fremd. Das dramatische Ende von Saints Row hat den Helden des ersten Teils schwer verwundet und betrogen zurück gelassen. Jetzt sucht er Rache! Übernehmen Sie seine Rolle und zahlen Sie es der Stadt heim, die es gewagt hat, Sie zu vergessen!"

Errungenschaften: Nein
Positiv:
- Charaktererstellung sehr detailliert
- Musik gut
Negativ:
- ständige Abstürze machen das Spiel unspielbar!
Fazit:
Auf Saints Row 2 habe ich mich gefreut, aber da dieses Spiel ständig bei kleineren Dingen abstürzt, ist es für mich unspielbar geworden. Das erste Mal traten diese Abstürze schon im Tutorial auf. Ich kam tatsächlich bis zur ersten Mission und von da an wurde es immer schlimmer mit den Abstürzen. Selbst die Tipps aus dem Internet und herunterdrosseln der Grafik hat nichts genützt.
Schade da mir schon die Charaktererstellung sehr gut gefiel. Diese war nämlich sehr detailliert und man konnte fast alles am Aussehen einstellen. Des Weiteren fand ich die Musik gar nicht mal so schlecht.
Grafisch ist das Spiel schon etwas älter, hätte aber trotzdem seinen Charme gehabt.
Leider: Nicht Empfehlenswert!!!!

saints row 2 is the best saints row game in the entire series. it has amazing customization options, a good story that ranges from decent to awesome at times, cool supporting characters, and much more. it's a shame that they've never tried to remake this game or at least follow this game's formula more closely with the future installments. the completion process was fun and easy, it definitely took me like an extra 10 hours than it needed to because the game is that fun, i avoided doing it more efficiently because i wanted to spend more time with the game. that alone says it all.

Если серьезно, то, хоть эта игра и не блещет оптимизацией, но она невероятно затягивает, количество трэша и угара на экране не будет убавляться по мере прохождения. И при этом сохраняется идеальный баланс между претенцизионной серьезностью сюжета про криминалов всех сортов (от страховых мошенников до наркобаронов) и совсем уже гротескной комедией с карикатурными фриками и избиениями противников фаллосами. В первый раз я прошёл игру за 40 часов, а второй раз - за 65 рублей. И, скажу я вам, на некоторых миссиях (каких именно спойлерить не буду) не грех и слезу пустить.
Итак, что мы имеем:
-плохую оптимизацию
-такую себе физику и графику
-отсутствие внятного мультиплеера ибо сервера гейм.спая сдохли 10 лет назад;
-частые вылеты
-лок в 50 фпс
-стрёмное управление
+великолепный геймплей где не стыдно страдать фигнёй
+абсолютная свобода действий
+лучшая (на мой взгляд) система кастомизации из игр вообще (базарю, лучше чем в симс)
+прекрасные моды
+хороший саундтрек (правда качество звука подпортилось с целью сжатия и без того внушительной игры)
+кастомизация апартаментов и тачек
+множество миссий и побочек, которые ПРОСТО АФИГЕННО проходить!
Спасибо шо дочитали до конца, всего хорошего, и спасибо разрабам! Ждём ремастер!

There's many other issues with this port as well, such as the completely butchered audio mixing during cutscenes, incredibly inconsistent framerate issues, and the fact that the PC version is also running on an older build than the console versions, which means that it's missing certain features and has none of the DLC.
There's talks that Volition managed to retrieve the code for the PC version a couple years back and were planning on fixing the port as a side project, but with IdolNinja's recent passing (RIP) who created the GotR mod and was also leading the project, as well as two years of silence from Volition with no estimated release date, it remains to be seen as to whether anything will come out of it.
It's such a busted port and it should never have released in the state that it did. This game deserved much better.

-impatient
-uninterested on installing mods to fix the game
-not used to frame drops (e.x from 70 to 35 in 0.5 second)
-you own a console
----
the problem with the game is that you will crash constantly every 20 to 30mins. the only seem to be a solution to that is you play on borderless window and install a mod called 'gentlemen of the row'. the mod will slightly fix the crash and frame issues, however, you must save at least every 2 to 4 missions to avoid losing game progress, and highly advised that you restart the game after completing a mission or an activity. properties-purchased, chop-shop & hitman missions are not saved by the auto-save.
if you own a console, please don't buy the game on steam. unlike console, you don't have to deal with crashes every 20-30mins and not forced to install mods to improve the game performance.
honestly this game is such a legendary comparing this to other saints row games (3 and 4) and so the 'up-coming' reboot. it's just a shame i couldnt really enjoy this game with these cons plus a terrible pc port. atleast I have patience enough to restart my progress every crash.

To make it playable on PC, you will need to install the Gentlemen of the row mod, just google it, it has many language support. Unfortunately whoever did the PC port, as this is originally a console game, did a awful Job. The company who made this is working to make a patch but as they only just found the lost source code back in November 2020, about 6 months ago at the time of this review, it may take some time. So if you don't want to mod, you will hopefully have a way to soon.
Also, you may have to run it windowed as on some but not all PC it will flicker on full screen mode and unfortunately no mod fixes that.
Even with all this, it is so worth it.

Does it really take that much to fix this game? I see the devs put a lot of effort in remastering the now overpriced SR3, but cannot fix the problem with this one? I doubt it isn't possible to stick to their promise. It's a shame because the game truly is amazing.

Buy it, fix it, then play it, you may find it to be a pretty great experience. Do be forewarned that the non-modded version of this has always been pretty terrible performance-wise as it was never well optimized and most certainly rushed to release (since this was made with consoles in mind first and foremost).
Also **** those who think Saints Row is a gta rip-off, it's so much better than that with customization, fun side-jobs, and an absolutely bonkers story.

(Note: This review is about the game in general, not steam's release current state, as IdolMaster is working on a re-release for the game)
Graphics (7/10):
Saints Row 2's graphics may be outdated by today's standards, which for a 2008 game makes total sense, it's textures may not be the highest quality, but look fairly good because of it's art style, even compared to it's successor. But what it may lack in texture fidelity it makes up in lighting and shadows, as there are really well done for the time the game was released.
Gameplay (7/10):
The physics in this game are really weird and take some time to get used to, the driving feels floaty and quite unpredictable at times. The gunplay is quite basic but works well, realism isn't the main aspect of the Saints Row series as a general, but it's arcade gameplay is really fun most of the time.
Customization (10/10):
I feel like Saints Row 2's main aspect is the customization, as it takes a giant focus in this game, and I absolutely love it. Character customization is unrivaled by any other game (maybe APB Reloaded, but I ain't going into that territory), even The Sims 3 can't touch it, you can change every aspect of you character looks with great depth, layered clothing that are completely customizable in terms of color and style, most parts have the option to put logos on, and considering how grounded it is compared to it's successor, even in this game there are some weird and funny clothing if you're feeling like it.
Vehicle customization is pretty basic when compared to racing games, but for sand box games of it's type, it has a lot of variety, mainly considering the time of it's release, there weren't many games in the genre that had car customization, and the ones which had didn't really go as in-depth as Saints Row 2.
It also has some home customization and gang customization, even if they are not as in-depth as the other aspects of customization in the game, at least it has any, and that's great.
Story (9/10):
Following the steps of the first Saints Row, it keeps the story grounded, but with much more depth than the first one, considering that now the protagonist has a personality and is really motivated, and at times even kind of psychotic, this gives the game a better sense of emotion, even with a darker and grimy tone at times, giving the player a better sense of accomplishment by the acts done in control of the protagonist.
Content (10/10):
Along with the deep story it has, the game has a lot of side activities, diversions and secrets, a bigger and better variety than any other game in the series, and a world with lots of interiors to explore, lots of object to interact with, and even characters to some extent.
Issues and bugs:
The steam port of the game is infamous for having horrible performance and a lot of engine bugs, some which can be fixed by the use of mods, like The Gentlemen Of The Row pack, by IdolNinja himself who helped in the development of the game, and as I said earlier, is working on a re-release for the game, which everyone who already own the game will receive free of charge when he eventually releases it.
The PC versions of the game never received any of the DLC's the game has in the console versions, but just like the fixes, these too will come to PC on the re-release.
In vanilla form, the game tends to crash A LOT, and I'm not over exaggerating it, before applying the fixes suggested in the PCGamingWiki page for Saints Row 2, and the fix I ended up trying by myself, which is playing the game on windowed mode, but using the Borderless Gaming app, the game used to be kind of unplayable as it crashed every half an hour or so. It's yet to crash even once after I applied the windowed mode fix.
Conclusion:
The game in it's current state suffers from a lot of (fixable) issues, lacks the content it's consoles counterparts have, and it's gameplay may not be everyones cup of tea, but even considering all that, I would still recommend it to the people who have the patience to apply the fixes it need, and to those who don't I suggest you wait and grab it as soon as it get's it's re-release, because this game deserves a lot to be played.
Final Rating: 8.6/10

И... Что? А вот. Не смотря на всё это, Сэйнтс Роу 2 - одна из самых лучших игр по модели ГТА которые я вообще играл когда-то. Редко я видал такое разнообразие миссий и побочных развлекух. В этом плане с этой игрой тягатся может разве что Bully.
Даже помимо обычных пострелушек и катаний на тачках (которые тоже веселые), здесь есть, например, Бои без Правил, где можно подбирать стулья, бутылки, людей и прочий мусор и кинуть всё это добро в кого-то или просто воспользоваться этим как своеобразно тупым Эскалибуром. К тому-же эти бои можно устраивать где угодно, хоть на улице. Эта же веселая боевка также применима, например, в роли телохранителя порнозвёзд, где немытых и небритых неудачников можно кидать в комбайны смерти или отправить в незабываемый полёт до конца жизни с небоскрёба. Перечислять возможные способы само-развлечения можно долго.
И куча прочих развлекух помимо взрывов, гонок и телесных полетов. Миссиям также не чуждо насыщенное разнообразие. Да и сюжет тут на самом деле крутой. Ну, его можно ограничить одним предложением - зло пробудилось и уничтожает или поробащает менее большое или просто более убогое зло. Но чёрт возьми, какие же тут клёвые катсцены. Хоть и сейчас Сэйнтс Роу опопснел и считается трешовой серией бреда, вторая часть умело смогла сбалансить юмор и антиуныние, и мрачный, жесткий сюжетец про Гангстеров. Одним из самых обидных решений было отказатся от тематики первых двух частей в пользу вакханалии. А зря, ибо эта часть в плане крутости и, кхм, не смейтесь - смысла - легко уделывает те же гта, которые все считают сюжетно самыми взрослыми играми жанра.
Что еще похвалить? Самая разнообразная и сочная кастомизация персонажа в подобных песочницах. Я приобалдел когда вглянулся и заметил что все npc тут не заранее сделанные модельки, а сгенерированные персы, которые носят одежду, которую можно купить и себе. Тоесть если увидели бомжа наркоса, можете своего перса сделать идеальной копией этого джентельмена. Можно даже изменить стиль боя, типо Кунг-Фу чёрт или Укуренный-Вуду дрочь. Также полно разнообразного оружия, которое, справдливости ради, отличается разве что звуками выстрелов и анимацией. А учитывая что это опять консольный порт, то враги максимально тупы и ленивы, убивать которых глоком с хэдшотами будет весьма просто - с мышкой, конечно.
Вобщем, чертовски веселая вешь, которая своим разнообразием и зашкаливающим количеством няшности растапливает меня и заставляет простить даже своё консольное уродство и отсталость.

SR2 has everything you could ever want and more. Such a variety in missions and activities, endless customization, the world is vibrant and very alive, storyline is great and humor is spot-on.
Sadly the port is awful, but hey, it didn't stop me, don't let it stop you.

If you have fairly new system, it requires unofficial mods (to fix bugs) and external apps (to fix fps) but definitely worth the hassle.
IMHO SR2 and SR:TT are best games of the whole Saints Row franchise.

Saints Row 2 is a video game. Not only that, it’s a third person open-world sandbox crime game. And this sentence alone may lead you to believe that it’s yet another “GTA-clone”. Which I believe to be an absolute horse-shit of a sub-genre made up by incompetent game journalists, one of whom said that Spiderman 2 was also a gta clone.
Saints Row puts a lot of emphasis on personal freedom. Be it in the way you roam the world you’re in or how you choose to define yourself in it. Which is mainly done by means of customization. Basically every little thing about you and the things you own, sadly for the exception of weapons, can be customized and altered to your taste and help define who you are in this world.
Game has also got quite a well written rags to riches story centered around gang warfare. Filled with drama, tragedy and quite honestly it’s pretty gruesome at some points. People die. A lot.
But, you know, the game also knows how to have fun and all the dark and gritty stuff is often broken up by a decent variety of genuinely fun moments, be it a banter between characters, some comedic moment in a cutscene or entertaining side activities found throughout the city of Stilwater and the mayhem you can cause during your playthrough.
Speaking of the city itself, my god - what a city it is. Stretching for a whole of 10 billion square kilometers (the actual size may differ) - there’s always something to look at and explore. Every district has a unique look and great deal of landmarks to see. Wherever you turn your gaze you may find people going through their daily lives. Cheerleaders rehearsing, tourists capturing the moment on film, lovebirds whispering sweet nothing into each other’s ears and homeless warming themselves by the fire barrels, before injecting unknown substances into their eyeball. These are not just mindless drones with a set walking pattern - they feel alive and this brings an additional dimension of realism to this city.
Now let’s talk about weapons:
First off - Melee weapons are about as effective as wiping your ass with a palm of a hand. Manageable, but messy. But there’s a wide variety of them, including various improvised weapons you could pick up on the streets. Which is a great addition to the game. Very Immersive.
Mostly you will be using one of many firearms this game can offer. Be it a pistol, a rifle with a grenade launcher or a pimp cane shotgun. All the weapon types have about 3 to 6 variations, so there’s plenty to choose from. Also every pistol and SMG can be dual-wielded for double the fun. But I have this minor complaint, nothing serious. Some weapons just don’t sound right. High-calibre pistol sounds about the same as a 9mm model and Shooting a rifle sounds like a rapid barrage of wet farts. But one SMG sounds like a freaking minigun would. What’s up with that?
And then there’s ragdoll physics. Ya’ll remember Havok? That physics engine that turns every dead body into a bag of potatoes? Yeah, they used it here. When you hit someone with a car or some odd bug appears bodies might fly into a stratosphere, but most of the time they drop like a sack.
So yeah, I wholeheartedly recomend this game. Great open-world action game. I give it 3 hot, wet kisses.

When I see people talking about the re release it makes me feel like it would be worse than it could sound like, the game itself with its graphics makes the game what it is now. And so lets make it in pros and cons version of review.
Pros:
- Exciting story
- Wide choice in armory with upgrades
- Vehicle upgrades with some good features
- Tires with spikes
- TV Zombie survival game
- Music in radio is to some people very addictive
- Graphically even if its old it looks good
- Very much fun things to do
Cons
- Very complicated way to play Multiplayer games if people play on console
Hard to say any cons on that good old game.
Maybe its not the best review but i personally would give it still maximally 9,5/10 in rating.
Have a nice day if you read this!

Why is that you ask?
Because the game crashes. A lot. I have 15 hours but 7 hours are lost due to the game crashing.
My computer isn't a piece of junk either, the game is just incapable of functioning.
Replayed the same mission 6 times before writing this and I never finished it once because it would crash during one of the three cutscenes. Ouch.

While you may not be able to affect the outcome of your story, you can design your conqueror in whatever image you desire. The character creation tool is quite extensive. You can drastically change the weight and age of your character, pick from four different races, mold facial features in whatever manner you desire, and even choose if you want a male or female protagonist. With only six different voices to choose from, it can be difficult to accurately match one to whatever look you happen upon, but it's a small price to pay for the wealth of creative options. You can visit a plastic surgeon at any time to tweak your features, but the process is so in-depth, it's easier just to choose a look at the beginning and stay with it.
On foot, combat is just as enjoyable, although with the lack of any feature for the player to take cover, it can feel a bit loose but you have the ability to take human shields.
There’s no question that Saints Row 2 is an excellent game but unfortunately its flaws are mostly technical rather than through any fault in design or gameplay.
Overall the second installment in the Saints Row series is an improvement on an already great first game.

However there is one thing to note, the PC version currently IS receiving an update for free that will patch the game dramatically and include all three DLC packs.
As the vanilla PC game is though it has COUNTLESS bugs and performance issues requiring a mod to fix it, however with that mod some of the base game content is replaced like walk styles.
Stilwater had to be my favourite open-world game map, there was countless side-activities, people living a life and what SR2 did exceptionally was having people dynamically change their opinions to you as you progressed.

Unfortunately, this game has a lot more issues running on modern hardware than the others, however a remaster is apparently in the works. Currently, I would not recommend this game to newcomers to Saints Row, start with The Third instead.
Personally, I was willing to put up with a lot of issues because this game was still very much worth that to me.

Saints Row 2
This is the second part of the game about gangsters, but the first one released on PC. At the beginning we have to create our own character. You have to admit that the character creator is pretty extensive.
The game starts with escape from prison, and our goal is to create a gang of saints and take control over the whole city. In addition, we have a lot of side missions, or basically activities. Each of them has 6 levels. The higher the level, the harder it is to complete it. In addition, we can buy various places that will generate income for us. Also important is the respect, without which we can't start the main missions.
The graphics won't knock us out. Although the game is old, because it was released in 2009, even on the highest details the game looks weak. It is not a very important part of the game, but it can repel some.
Soundtrack sounds very good. The music is pleasant, and the sounds of surroundings or weapons are nice to the ear.
It is also worth mentioning the optimization of the game. There is definitely something wrong with it. Sometimes I've been falling fpsow despite having a good computer.
Summary
To sum up, Saints Row 2 is a very good action game with a simple storyline, twists and turns and a great soundtrack. The downside is definitely optimization and a bit of graphics.

BUT, as I am a fan of the franchise and the game, the big problem with this game I have had is that it's very Buggy, filled with glitches, and constantly crashes which dampens the great experience of this game.
A great game with hair ripping bugs.

I recommend installing the fan patch gentlemen of the row which solves a lot of the games problems but doesn't help with the random crashing.
