Saints Row 2 Reviews

controller support really lacking and all 3 times I've started the game its crashed.

Disclaimer!!!! this game is old and wont be updated due to the company no longer existing it may have issues on windows 11 due to updates . you may or may not have to download mods to make it playable . other then that 10/10

This version will not work on your system, it will require patching. tldr; the folks that own the game messed up and lost the source code, and the steam version is a older port. I recommend buying the GOG version as that one is a bit more updated. You can still buy this version and patch in the GOG version after you buy. The patching is downloading some fan made mods and dropping them in the respective folder, so super easy stuff. The game is super fun and stylish, looks a bit old bc it is old, but if you can get past that, its pretty much better grand theft auto 4.

I'll start of with saying that I bought this game for very cheap (2.00€), It certainly was worth the price! I'd recommend anyone new to follow this guide; https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2652709959 after using this guide myself the game runs better than ever at a constant framerate.

Even with various stability patches, this game is still prone to crashing, so save often or be prepared to lose progress. If you’ve never played this before and you’re more accustomed to modern tastes, it might seem a bit dated at first. But in my opinion this game is still incredible and stands on its own. Every inch of this game was designed with the player’s enjoyment in mind: - The map isn’t huge, but it’s packed with fun and diverse activities. - It’s not photorealistic, but the art style is cohesive and full of personality. - It doesn’t take itself too seriously. Whether it's society, culture, or its own story, the game is all about fun for the sake of fun. This game oozes charm, especially when you compare it to more modern open-world games that can sometimes feel sterile or overly self-serious. Saints Row 2 knew exactly what it wanted to be, and it was unapologetically that. It’s chaotic, heartfelt, ridiculous, and surprisingly thoughtful underneath the mayhem.

Get the GOG version, its much more stable vanilla

They were not lying, this is absolutely the best Saints Row. It's also true that this port is a disaster, but if you download Juiced to patch things up, it will run beautifully. More than worth picking up.

The game is great. This is not the first time I've played the game, so when I saw it was on steam it brought back some memories of how fun this game is. If you are new to SR2 on Steam, I would suggest any new buyers to know that this game will need some modifications to play the game because it's a bit glitchy. You can find this information within the SR2 community on Steam. It is a great community and they helped in making it work.

its a great game when it doesnt crash. too bad it happens every 15 minutes

After not having played it for years, I wondered if this game was truly good, or if it was just nostalgia. After playing it the past couple of weeks, I can in fact confirm that this IS one of the best games ever made. Unfortunately, this port is as bad as everybody says it is. I had to download two separate mods to help this god-awful port and still it ran like complete shit and crashed often. Despite all that I still had an incredible amount of fun, but I doubt most people would be able to enjoy this game with these constant frustrations.
