Last time I reviewed Saints Row The Third.
And I didn't like it.
But now, I am reviewing the game that introduced me to the series. (Of course I played 1 after)
So lets see, was it better than the third?
Graphics 8 : Well, the graphics were decent for its time.
Its one of the reasons that got me intrigued into saints row.
And to be honest, they are better than the third's graphics.
On this, the cut scenes seemed more neat.
And you could use the environment more.
Like when throwing someone into your jacuzzi and stunning them while they are in it.
So I liked using the environment but I will talk about this in the depth section.
Sound 9 : I loved the music in saints row II.
It actually seemed to show how rough still water can be.
When you are fighting enemies with the music on, it gives you a better feeling.
Also, when you use stun guns.
It actually makes a sound that sounds like a real stun gun.
And the enemies actually fall down like they had a seizure.
Also, the characters voice actors actually fit them.
And what improved from saints row 1 is that you choose a voice that can fit your character.
Instead of making your voice different because of your characters race.
This is what I liked about the sound.
Addictiveness 10 : Seriously, this got me more addicted because of the story, depth and music.
Also, the activities were unique compared to number III.
You could go in a crash derby, fight club and protecting your homies.
The activities sometimes let you have extra stuff!
Like rare cars and new homies!
Don't forget doing the Fuzz.
You could take down criminals!
Story 9 : In saints row I.
The saints were about Julius (the old leader) trying to rule stillwater so that gangs could stop fighting and they can fix the system.
But then, Julius gave the leadership to you and betrayed you.
(Not telling you how)
And when you come back, you revive the saints to destroy the gangs that are ruining the city/
And you try to destroy Ultor.
Depth 10 : This game, had lots of stuff to do!
It let you do multiple activities (as I mentioned before) and you get to do separate missions!
You can do the Ronin, The brotherhood and Sons of Samedi at any time!
Which all have different stories and different gang lords!
And all of them seem to have a different personality.
This game lets you do sword fights while the bosses and enemy have a good AI and take time to beat with the sword!
But this is only with the sword.
Guns seem to be easy but when enemies also have guns, they fire at you and seem to manage to do this from a very large distance.
Difficulty 7 : The game is at least harder than saints row 3.
But Saints row 1 was way harder.
If you change the difficulty, the enemies weapons deal more damage and more enemies appear!
Some activities are hard as well.
Fight club gets harder as you don't have any homies to beat the other contestants.
Crash derby takes time to get a better vehicle.
So I gave the difficulty 7.
Overall 9.7 : This game, is a must get.
This isn't a GTA clone like most people say.
It's actually could of been better than GTA.
So this is my review.
