Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Reviews are still coming in for Saints Row 2. As with previous articles, click on the link above the quote to view the entire article.

GameSpy - 9 / 10

"It's really quite impressive how much game has been packed into Saints Row 2. You can mug people, take hostages in their vehicles until they pay their ransom, or hold up your neighborhood liquor store. There's video poker and blackjack, if that's your thing. If you're more of a pervert, you can go streaking, or you can don a trench coat and go out flashing people. Seriously. There's even a game within the game called Zombie Uprising, where you have to defeat wave after wave of zombies, including giant zombies, flaming zombies, and exploding zombies."

Eurogamer - 9 / 10

"Still, in single-player and in co-op, Saints Row 2 is one of the most ridiculous and enjoyable games of the year. Some will dismiss it as GTA's "gangsta" offshoot, but they're missing the point; with its immense scope, fun physics and focus on entertainment over realism or grit, Saints Row is what GTA would have become if Rockstar North had followed Vice City to its pimpin' conclusion."

GameSpot - 8 / 10

"From beginning to end, this is one of the most fun urban chaos games out there. The controls are so tight and the combat so satisfying, you'll frequently find yourself getting distracted from the campaign as you cause terror all over the city. With great cooperative integration, tons of unique activities, and a super cool zombie mode, Saints Row 2 will keep you happily creating havoc for a long time."

Xbox360Achievements - 8.5 / 10

"Not only are there tonnes more activities to do around the city, but we finally have a story and a cast that has a soul. Once you’re knee deep in it, you just can’t wait to see what’s round the next corner ... Even better is, you can experience all that with a friend too if that’s what takes your fancy."

Xbox World 360 Magazine UK - 8.5 / 10

"So, turns out there's room in this world for both GTA IV and Saints Row 2, then. Truly, they are utterly opposite sides of the same sandbox coin. If you were in any way disappointed with Rockstar's return with Liberty City then we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you buy this. Score one for the 3rd Street Saints."
