It was a question in most gamers’ minds when they saw the first trailers. What is it that forced the Saints to go out of business in Stilwater? It was seen in the game that the protagonist, even when he was sent to a comatose by the boat-blow-up, the gang was in a pretty strong position even back then. So what was the reason that caused the fall of the Saints?

According to the storyline as mentioned in Saints Row 2, this had happened due to the conflicting interests of the leaders of different Saints’ rackets upon the protagonist’s absence. It was the protagonist who held the gang together and was the major authority figure, out of fear of whom the heads of conflict never arose beyond controlled levels, however, once the protagonist was gone, all hell broke lose, and the Saints fell apart.

It is now known that the Ultor Corporation along with the Brotherhood and other rival gangs have taken over most of Stilwater, with little left to scourge for, for the other gangs and hoods. It is all up to the protagonist to step up and get the Saints back to their deserved place.

Some people have been complaining and moaning as of late about how Saints Row 2’s graphics are not as great as they’d expect them to be (that is, better than GTA4). Which is also somewhat true as shown in some of the Saints Row 2 trailers, although in some aspects of combat action etc. SR2 is miles ahead of GTA, and of course Gameplay is much superior, the graphics, in some trailers appear to be the same as GTA4 and not better.

The general expectation in the market from Volition and THQ is to deliver a game that has better graphics than GTA4, the current graphics meet the standards set by GTA4, which means they are almost the same, but, as I said earlier, the current demand is for graphics that are better than GTA4.

Now, the only reason why the release of Saints Row 2 was delayed from August to October was to satisfy this particular demand. To satisfy its customers and users, Volition wanted to take the graphics one step ahead of GTA. Therefore the delay. This information has been channeled to Saints-Row-2.com by my friend who works at Volition, he has also told me that the Graphics are going to surprise and stun everybody when the game is finally out.

So just hang in there folks, once Saints Row 2 comes out, you’re going to get the real deal.

The Saints Row 2 story picks up from where Saints Row ended. At the end of Saints Row, the Yacht on which the protagonist was on exploded due to him being betrayed by his Saints crew and the game ended there. It suggested that the protagonist had ended then and there, however, where Saints Row 2 starts from, this apparently is not the case.

The protagonist, ie the player, is shown five years after that fateful day of the boat explosion, and it is revealed that he survived the explosion, and ended up in a Prison hospital, in a comatose state due to trauma caused by the event. So, the protagonist has been in comatose for five years essentially, and had no control over what happened to the Saints over all this time. (more…)

Everyone surely did complain when Radio came out in Saints Row and compared it to GTA San Andreas saying that the radio in Saints Row wasn’t top notch and that it deserved to be worked much more upon. There were also many complaints from players saying the radio had a very limited array of stations and music which could be chosen from, which made for a big minus point as far as the game was concerned.

But Saints Row 2 is changing all that, not only does it have a wide and more enhanced range of music selection when it comes to Radio, but it also has improved sound quality. So it means that you’ll be listening to much more music, in much better quality. There is also an in-game audio player to play Music separately whenever you’re not near the radio. A lot more radio stations have also been added, including the original ones in Saints Row, to make your SR2 experience worth every minute of it!

So if you have any bitter feelings for the Saints Row series due to the Radio feature being a disappointment in the first game, do away with them! because when it comes to Saints Row 2, Music is definitely not an issue!

Keep on Rollin’ Gangstas!
