What's great about it: absurdity
What's not so great: weird hit and collision detection problems
I had more fun playing this game than GTA4. The fact that the devs didn't take themselves that seriously helps. The character has a super difficult time running over things like bodies and bar stools, which is absurd. Similarly, people in this game are as sturdy as telephone poles, even though in most other games you can usually knock them over and run past them. Not much replay value, but good for hours of offensive, ludicrous fun.

What's great about it: Customizing, flying & parachuting
What's not so great: driving & shooting
I definatly reccomend this game to any fan of open world shooters. It is a massive palying ground and is filled with many ways of trasnportations. From jets, and quads to frie trucks and u.f.o.s!!! The weaponsare par, but the pimp cane shotgun is well above average!!! Driving has and continues to be Saints row weakness. Driving in this game is very unrealistic and sloppy. The explosions are delightfully beautiful. With that, rent it or buy it, get this game.

What's great about it: Character customization, lots of vehicles, great variety of weapons, lots of missions
What's not so great: gets repetitive
Ok so when i got this as a gift i was happy so i went up and played it right away i expected it to be fun; and it was it has a good length because of all the missions you have to do in order to finish, you can customize your character however you like, and if you want to you can be lazy and cheat :D but it can get a little repetitive

i got this game and couldnt be happier! gameplay is fun, storyline is awesome and unpredictable. a lot better than gta IV. the only thing that gta IV has on saints row is that its graphics are better but after 5 minutes of playing saints row 2 your havin so much fun that you dont even notice the graphics. if your looking to have alot of fun and do whatever you want, this is the game for you!

What's great about it: Graphics, story
What's not so great: game locks up while doing Co-op missions.
I enjoyed this game and thought it was better than GTA IV. Tons of side missions apart from the main story. Only complaint I have is when I try to play the missions in Co-op mode either my Xbox will freeze up, or the person I'm playing with will freeze up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: great game with plenty to do
What's not so great: nothing i can think of
have always gotten more enjoyment out of saints row than grand theft auto due to the amount of things you can do outside of missions, also the game has a sence of humor and can be very funny. the graphics are good and there are plenty of vehicles as well as customization options for cars, gangs, even places you buy (safehouse, cribs). it is a neat aspect and they added and improved upon the last saints row game for xbox. the game is definatly worth checking out though if you are a parent the game does have cursing, nudity,obscene gestures, as well as violence of course so be weary of it if you are buying it for your child.
i am dissapointed that the company has not put an update for trophy support, therefore this is a game that i have since traded in after beating for something else. i was hopeing they would put trophies in to warrant another play through, and possibly make me play the game in ways i wouldnt have otherwise thought of.
if you are new to the saints row it is a GTA clone, but done better in my opinion. if you like grand theft auto you will probably like this game. definatly check it out. it is worth buying due to rental time wouldnt give you enough time to fully explore the game, unless you have a subscription based rental service to keep it as long as you want.

What's great about it: You can do what ever you want to do whenever you want to do it.
What's not so great: Its not the most beautiful game on the 360 but the ps2 xbox or dreamcast couldent touch it.
Great game with near 100% freedom. There is a expansion out for it for 800MS points ($10). Best described as GTA 4 but Saints Row 2 has a better control system, its more fun, less painful to play and it has way more freedom. SR2 has everything GTA4 has without all the boring stuff you dont want. Multiplayer imo is way more intresting on SR2. Only thing GTA4 has that SR2 does not have is a Hollywood like story line.

What's great about it: alot of customization in your gangs, and gang vehicles, alot of cool weapons.
What's not so great: none.
I wasnt a fan at all of saints row. But after i got saints row 2 it completely changed my mind. In the game you are a gang leader and you have to conquer rival gangs. I personally like this game more than GTA 4.

What's great about it: alot of fun, funny story
What's not so great: story is broken up by minigames
Many people say that SR2 is a GTA ripoff. Well it's not. Un like GTA4 where it trys to be as real as possible. As SR2 is all about having fun. The graphics aren't half bad and after a while u stop careing. The main thing is the gameplay. It's alot of fun. As u play u take territory that give u money so no need to conserve ammo. The story is vary funny the only thing i didn't like about the game were the minigames. They were fun but when your in the good part of the story then they say that u need more "respect". Overall SR2 is a great game thats worth your time.
