Summary |
Introduction
Five years have passed since your former partners have betrayed you. Coming out of coma for the first time since that fateful day, you find a Stilwater that sank into chaos. Unknown gang appeared and began to invade your territory, rival factions have taken over your businesses and corporations are eager to upset the district money to 3rd Street. Abandoned and left for dead, disfigured, you are going to find a plastic surgeon to begin your new life in the streets of Stilwater.
It is in the streets of Stilwater that is earned respect. This requires a lifestyle that reflects your unique personality. Your home, your crew, and your actions decide the person you are and how you are perceived. The image that you return will be as important as the decisions you make in a city ruled by false bravado and impulsive behavior. The only constant is this visceral need an identity that reflects your individuality and you impose shot shotgun if necessary.
The style and image are not always enough in a world where the action is more important than words. Sometimes sending a message to your enemies will require you to be efficient, like swinging a rival gang member into traffic. Respect in Stilwater, it acquired, and what better way to do that to bring a bag of explosives and the place where to meet your competitors?
Fortunately, you should not rely on your strong arms. Formerly, the Saints were a family and made the law in these streets. Today, we have to cooperate and make alliances to return to the top. The time has come to take your revenge against your rivals to get your gang to the rightful place: the kings of Stilwater.
The town
The new Stilwater has been enlarged by 45% from the first episode of the card and includes new locations as a cemetery, a caravan park, a university and a new marina. Ruin island is off the coast of Stilwater and there is also a prison island to the west of the creek that separates the two halves of the city, like Alcatraz. Stilwater is now powered by a nuclear power plant located on an island southwest of the city. There will also be underground sections of the city, including a massive underground cavern. Note major expansions to the west of Stilwater, particularly in the area "Misty Lanes. The "Saints Row", meanwhile, has been transformed into a myriad of brand-new buildings: skyscrapers, apartments, etc.. There will be a new suburb called Waterman Plains (Plains Boatmen), with some rural areas. Regarding the seaport, which has dominated the southern regions of the island, it crumbled into the ocean and was abandoned. Note also numerous canals and drains.
Game system
The entire single player campaign will be playable in the cooperative mode online and link play. The game will include additional weather effects. Pedestrians will be much more responsive to environmental stimuli (such as the port of umbrellas by sign of bad weather or because of crowding around a corpse, allowing the player to use this distraction to escape ). Otherwise, the player may try to use other options in the game as human shields (You can either kill the person with a headshot , or throw or to throw in a car, subway, etc ... ). The player can now pick up and use objects in the environment as melee weapons (Mailbox, etc..). The black humor instead of the first episode will always see this "amplified" through false advertising and various other dialogs.
Customization
The character customization was already present in the original game. It is now far more developed, as with novelty, the ability to create a female character (see transsexual ). You can also choose how your avatar walks, talks and takes his weapon. The personal changes such as age, height, voice, weight can also be changed. A new feature of the game is the "Taunting" the player can taunt and insult the people of Stilwater for help, particularly, signs (Shrugs, fingers, etc..) It can also ensure that each party the body are muscular or lean.
The vehicle tuning will be pushed and each part of the car will bend to your demands. The player will finally be the ability to modify the performance of his car.
The gang customization will change the tags, colors, clothes, cars and headquarters of the Saints.
The modification of the slot is a new feature in Saints Row 2, allowing the player to purchase up to nine locations around Stilwater, varying in size and with a possibility to upgrade with three proposed designs. The player can also buy items to be placed in her home (furniture, electronics etc. ..). These sites could serve as a hideout for members of the gang.
The garment can be personalized with a maximum (up to colors of stitching).
Gangs, and other stakeholders
Saints Row 2 will feature some new faces and some old characters in Saints Row. The Third Street Saints are still active in the game, however, with the extinction of the Vice Kings, Westside Rollerz and the Carnales, three new gangs have come to power in Stilwater and a militia private.
Ultor Coporation
Ultor is a major undertaking represented by Dane Vogel. Year after year, Ultor has participated in the reconstruction of Stilwater, spending millions in order to make the city vibrant again. The police department of Stilwater was bought by Ultor and the whole police force (led today by Commissioner Troy Bradshaw, a former undercover cop in the gang in Saints Row Saints ) of the city belongs to Ultor. Ultor is deemed as being corrupt , having contacts with the 3 main gangs in Saints Row 2. Ultor name was already used in the FPS Red Faction of Volition. He was also present in Saints Row (Ultor Arena, sunglasses Ultor ...)
Ultor is present in the district of Saints Row, in the prison, near the nuclear plant and in the mall. However, these areas remain "neutral" to the end (except mall).
