Who this game is for:
People who liked Saints Row 3 and 4, and wanted to experience another excellent story in the Saints Row universe.
People who wished for Saints Row to be more like GTA, in terms of a darker, less wacky story.
People who can put up with the fact that they have to use HACK TOOLS and MODS to get this game working out of the box.

If you answered yes to all three of the above questions, you may enjoy Saints Row 2.

Pros:
Serious and engaging story
Fun open world
Features many of the fun minigames from Saints Row 3 and 4, such as Trail Blazing, Insurance Fraud, and minigames not featured in the later series, such as driving a septic truck around spraying its contents on houses and people!

Cons:
Serious performance issues, even if you get the game's tuning hack just right
Serious audio issues (I believe some devs have offered to look into the issues when they've finished working on Saints Row 4 and 3 fixes and DLCs)

Not for the technologically inept!
