Hands-on: Saint’s Row 2 multiplayer cooperative and the new ‘Strongarm’ mode
Posted by: in PS3 News
When we first got our paws on an early build of Volition’s Saint’s Row 2 in April, we called it “a $200-a-head Las Vegas illusionist performance featuring Pamela Anderson, then Volition’s sequel is a balls-to-the-wall, over-the-top Coney Island sideshow starring a limbless, glass-eating female midget named Senorita Cobrita.”
As it turns out, our first impressions were closer to the truth than even we’d expected. While THQ and Volition didn’t pick up Anderson, they did announce adult actress Tera Patrick as a “special producer” on the game. And while we’ve yet to see any glass-eating, you can play the game as a female with a man’s voice wearing a hot dog suit and clown shoes.
It’s clear that Saint’s Row 2, in terms of its themes and tone, isn’t going to be a serious affair. And that’s a good thing; in trying to find the game’s identity, Volition have taken Saint’s Row 2 in the polar opposite direction of its direct competition, the vehicle stealing title that shall not be named.
