Comedy · Open World · Sandbox

Saints Row 2 revels in its gleeful embrace of chaos, offering a gleefully juvenile open-world experience. The game's strength lies in its outlandish customization options and a combat system that facilitates brutal, over-the-top action. This is a game where you can wrestle an enemy while hurling yourself from a speeding car, all while sporting a bright purple dildo bat.

About Saints Row 2

View Game Details
After the events of the first game, you awaken from a coma to find that the Third Street Saints have all but disappeared. Much like Saints Row, you are charged with retaking the city from three rival gangs, only this time as the leader of the saints. While fighting the Sons of Samedi, The Brotherhood, and The Ronin, the Saints also antagonize the Ultor Corporation, which seeks to eradicate gang violence in Stilwater once and for all.
