Games Review: Saints Row 2

Xbox 360, THQ, £44.99

Take a crime-riddled US city, add a handful of deadly gangs, a sprinkling of vehicles and a vast openworld environment, and what do you get?

No, not GTA but the second part of SaintsRow, a third-person sandbox extravaganza that has earned its right to be mentioned in the same sentence as Rockstar’s finest.

Your aim is to wipe out a trio of gangs, ideally with as much crazy driving and oddball tangents as possible.

From the getgo, where you can customise your character to the nth degree, to hidden missions and bonkers activities, this game never fails to surprise and entertain.

Seriously Rebecca do you call this a game review? When I read the title I wanted to hear how it compared to GTA, graphics engine, character AI, playablity, glitches etc. No what we get is a poor effort, I mean did you even play the game? I would love your job to review games
