Saints Row 2

excellent open world action edge thriller with a bit of humor)

once upon a time in the days of discs I bought this game from a friend in a salon on his advice “it’s similar to GTA, but better”, and.. it turned out that way)

In 2010 I tried to play SR2, there just weren’t enough GTA-like games, but optimization got in the way: 2 frames per second, flying through the map, etc. In 2013 I decided to try again. The fact that I had a new and fairly powerful PC didn’t really help, but it became possible to play. SR2 is a GTA-like action game about street gangsters. The story is set to underground hip-hop, which gives it a really cool atmosphere. The game has a huge arsenal of weapons, an excellent character editor. Although the game did not position itself as a serious action movie, the level of absurdity there was not so huge. It's fun to play, the plot is interesting, about how the guys from the ghetto decided to take the city for themselves. The game deserves 8/10 - that's a fact.
