CCN: Saints Row 2 Review

Ben Hartland writes:

"While the game is good, I'm already beginning to get bored with it. I had hopes that multiplayer would improve the lifespan of this game, but with the missions being plentiful and having to gain respect for them, I'd just rather switch off."

wrong review

this game is awesome

reminds me a lot of san andreas,so much to do,so satisfying,earning money is so rewarding cause you have many things to do and so little cash

this game shouldn't get lower than 9 or 8.5 tbh

Silogon6429d ago (Edited 6429d ago )

This reivew is absurd at best. He points ut 10 things that are standout about the game and 2 things that need work. After all that he gives it a 65 out of 100, yeah... sure thing, Pal.

I got borded of GTa4 3 hours after 1st playing it and realizing I was doing the exact same thing I had been doing in every GTA game since the ps2 launched... Saints Row 2 > GTA4. All there is to it.

psnSkareFace6429d ago

i agree that gta can get boring but there is to many glitches in sr2

Silogon6429d ago

Yes, but those glitches can be patched and will be. GTA 4 cannot be patched for bordem.

psnSkareFace6428d ago

i m liking sr2 it is really good once you get past the glitchs and im really playn it alot if u have it for the ps3 at me and ill play with u

Ben Hartland6411d ago

Let me just say that I knew my low score of 65 would attract some attention. Like all of our reviews, we don't give high marks and we get a lot of crap about it.

Our games are rated using a set of criteria based on 10/10 and from then on taken by an average. For example, we review a game based on 2 criteria, graphics and sound. If the sound scores 0 and the graphics score 10, why should we score the game more or less than 5/10 all round? We shouldn't, and we don't. At the same time, we rate all games as 10/10 until we have a reason to reduce that number. In my opinion, SR2 had plenty of faults. The game crashed on me on plenty of occasions and I got tired of playing through the same stuff over and over.

It's also a sequel, so I have to take into consideration the good stuff against the original game and the competitors (GTA).

If any of you had a brain, you'd have noticed I scored the game play at 8/10 which is more than reasonable given the bugs the game has. The other elements let the game down considerably, and I made careful mention of that.

If you still think I scored this game unfairly, up yours, I'm giving an honest review unlike everyone else. Not every game is perfect and pretending it is perfect just stupid. I can point out many fatal flaws with Halo 3 and yet all of the gaming sites I've read reviews on have given it 100%. Isn't that just like saying that Halo 3 is the absolute perfect game? Most of you would argue, no, it's not, and you're right, it's far from perfect, and so is Saints Row 2 which is why it's scored at 65/100.

B*tch all you want, it's not going to change my score no matter how much you love or hate the game. I rated it fairly.

Saints Row 2's Juiced Patch makes the PC port so much better it's criminal

Drive it like you stole it.

Broken Games That Never Got Fixed

While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.

Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since

joab777290d ago

Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.

Christopher289d ago

I wouldn't call NMS broken at release, just under-delivered.

Michiel1989290d ago

junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,

-Foxtrot290d ago

Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.

Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.

One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?

gold_drake290d ago

i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha

Ashunderfire86290d ago

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.

You know usually when someone says "you may have missed" it's games that were lesser known, hidden gems, underrated games. These are all super high profile games that sold extremely well.

FPS_D3TH1250d ago (Edited 1250d ago )

You know the 2000s is 20 years ago too? Maybe, just maybe this wasn’t an article targeted to 30+ gamers? Still says at the very beginning of the title “THE BEST GAMES you may have missed”. Regardless of how well they sold there’s tons of gamers who haven’t touched these older well known games lol.

Welshy1250d ago (Edited 1250d ago )

It's games you "may have missed", insinuating you were around and gaming in the 2000's and were there to miss them. If it was aimed at everyone else then they missed literally everything, not just the top games.

The original commenter is right, this is a badly written article at best pointless at worst.

Crows901250d ago

Besides only being able to miss it if you were around during that time..if your point stands then this is a horrible list. Tons of better games people may have missed

XxINFERNUSxX1250d ago

I would like the original max payne remade in a new engine with ray tracing. 😊

FPS_D3TH1250d ago

Remedy games already working on that and I’m so stoked for it

XxINFERNUSxX1250d ago

Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I totally forgot they were doing it. Also what the hell happened to Kingpin: Reloaded? On Steam coming soon and nohting from the dev.

MadLad1250d ago

Yeah, I was just going to say. It's interesting seeing them back behind the series. Max Payne 3 was amazing, but then Rockstar just sat on the IP.
Well, they sit on virtually anything that isn't GTA and Red Dead now.

porkChop1250d ago

What is this list? These are all hugely popular games. I was expecting games like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Advent Rising, Arx Fatalis, etc.

FPS_D3TH1250d ago

the title didn’t say lesser known titles from the 2000s. This is 20 years ago now lol. Big assumption this list was made for older gamers.

Dirty_Lemons1249d ago

That makes me feel so old.

Inverno1250d ago

I've only played 3 on that list. Part of me feels bad about how little I used all the consoles I've owned as a kid. One bright side is, there's over 30 years of games to experience for the first time.
