It's hilarious to strap the hot dog suit or the Borat bathing suit on your character and then watch some of the more dramatic cutscenes. Plus, later in the game you'll earn new personalities, taunts, costumes and fighting styles. You can select from three female accents and three male accents as well as the usual huge array of physical traits. Luckily, that happens to open the door to the robust character customization.

Your character has been in a prison hospital stuck in a coma since he (or she) was blown off of a yacht, thus badly burning his (or her) exterior.

Saints 2 picks up a few years after the events of the first. Saints Row 2 may not be as pretty or have the production values of Rockstar's rock star, but it does offer hours of zany entertainment that will please fans of open world gangster gaming. What does that translate to in terms of quality? A crazy good time. In fact, Saints Row 2 takes GTA's gameplay, turns it on its side and sends it rolling down a mountain filled with land mines, roving monster trucks and ninjas. Thankfully this is one imitator that turns out to be much more than a straight carbon copy.
