Stilwater has grown in size and offers more things to see and do. Previous visitors to Stilwater will notice the city has undergone several community-wide changes. Weapons range from high-powered tools of destruction, such as a mini-gun, rocket-propelled grenade launcher, and flame-thrower, to offbeat armaments like a stun gun, chainsaw, and defibrillator. The action is viewed from a third-person perspective as you explore a free-roaming city filled with vehicles, pedestrians, and police officers.
You'll now be able to customize your character in an assortment of ways, from modifying his (or her) appearance to decorating 'cribs' to acquiring the latest and greatest in criminal couture. The setting is once again the fictitious city of Stilwater, where you'll rebuild the Saints gang and eliminate all rivals who dare lay claim to your turf. After being betrayed by your former crew and left to whither away in a vegetative state, you awaken with a singular purpose: to reclaim your territory one brick at a time. THQ and developer Volition's answer to Grand Theft Auto returns for another over-the-top outing with Saints Row 2.
