So my brother got me Saint's Row 2 for Christmas. Fan-fucking-tastic game, I'm actually enjoying it more than I ever did with GTA IV. Don't get me wrong, that's a great game, and the story is lightyears better than SR2's, but the sheer ridiculousness of the gameplay makes this the better game. If you like open world games you absolutely MUST check this one out. I mean, for crying out loud, this is a game where you can do a side mission to take a septic truck and spray hot liquid feces onto unsuspecting pedestrians (the nice lady who was driving the truck laughed and said "I hope they like scat play"). This is a game where you can buy a long trenchcoat called the Flasher Jacket (and if it's the only thing you're wearing you can indeed play the public indecency minigame.) The songs on the radio are mostly bleh, with the singular and notable exception of The Mix, a channel that plays nothing but 80's rock.

Which brings me to one of my few issues with the game. The songs they picked tend to be too catchy, especially as there aren't as many songs per channel as you'd expect, so you quickly hear repeats. As a result, I have had a certain song by Europe playing more or less constantly in my head ever since I first played the game.

Ah well. At least I can drown my sorrows with dangerous driving.

POINTLESS JOURNAL OVER.
