The upcoming, free-roaming, gang game Saints Row 2 is looking like it may just have enough to pull some people away from the upcoming game Grand Theft Auto 4.
This preview will focus on the customizations you will be able to do in Saints Row 2 to your character and your crib (that’s your house, for all those who aren’t “in” on street talk).
At the end of the original Saints Row your character was blown up on a boat and though they survived, they were badly damaged cosmetically. So in the new game you start in a doctor’s office reshaping your character’s every look.
Not only can you completely shape your character’s outward appearance, but you can also change some of their personality traits that will actually make a difference in the way your character walks and performs different actions in-game. You can change their taunts, from things like The Dumper or Vomit. You can change the style of the way they walk by choosing from different stances. You can change their compliments from simple things like a salute to more over-the-top things like a dance. You also get to choose your character’s combat style.
You can upgrade your home with stuff such as nicer electronics among other things.
Saints Row 2 is published by THQ and developed by Volition. It doesn’t have an official release date yet but is slated to hit store shelves sometime in 2008 for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
