TNL Review: Saints Row 2

TNL writes: "It’s been two years since the streets of Stilwater ran red with blood. Developer Volition has ramped up the violence and gang warfare in a sequel, which not only surpasses the original, but also sets a new sandbox standard. Let me make it quite clear that the game I hold in direct contention with Saints Row 2 is the mighty Grand Theft Auto IV, and though many see the former as the imitator, all one need do is spend some time with the 3rd Street Saints to see that sometimes, a copy can be not only as good but better than its source material. I know that far too many people jumped aboard the GTA IV bandwagon, hyping it to insane proportions and dolling out perfect rating after perfect rating, and while that’s to be expected, it’s a shame that such attention isn’t given to a clearly superior product such as Saints Row 2."
