New Saints Row details

Posted on January 27th, 2008 at 10:43 EDT

Perhaps the only game to come close to taking the mojo away from the Grand Theft Auto franchise, Saints Row, was a stellar hit when it was released in the summer of 2006. Now later in 2008, gamers will be treated with the long awaited sequel, Saints Row 2 as the series makes its debut onto the PlayStation 3.
Recently, GamesRadar had the opportunity to dig for some information and we have took the time to summarize it for you. Some of the newest elements to Saints Row 2 include:

  • Darker storyline which takes place a few years after the events of the first game.
  • Customize your characters crib, age, genre (?), and voice.
  • Online Co-Op mode which allows players to team up online and run through the entire single player campaign together.
  • Improved weather effects
  • More responsive citizens


Currently there is no set in stone release date, however, Grand Theft Auto IV will release April 29th. Assuming Saints Row 2 releases after that date, THQ will have to scramble up one hell of a marketing strategy if they want to generate some type of revenue. Beyond that, PSU will keep you informed on anything new surrounding Saints Row 2.

well, This sounds like it might be a decent game. It could just be a GTA knock-off too. But I guess we will have to see know aren't we! Oh ya, At least it won't be a "please kick me"(360) Exclusive!

Saints row actually wasn't a bad game at all. I thought it was pretty well done and the graphics were good. I'm getting GTA4 but I might pick this one up for the 2 player co-op. That should be fun.

"Online Co-Op mode which allows players to team up online and run through the entire single player campaign together." Sold! :P Always dreamt of a GTA style game with co-op.

I CAN'T WAIT!!! I played Saints Row on XBox 360 and LOVED it... because it IS a San Andreas knock off! COMPLETELY! Kind of like a street comedy! Hope to find out more before launch though, so I know which system to buy it for! Cheesy or not, the 360 achievements give you a little something extra to play for. I just hope the online play gets a little more attention from the dev. guys. The last one wasn't worth the time online really.

I can't seem to find interest in any THQ games after the craptastic MX vs ATV Untamed and cancelling Frontlines.  Probably be too busy with the real PS3 devs.
