Fly far off the west coast of the prison to find five secret islands. Their names are 'Bone', 'Lookout', 'Ruins', 'Ship Wreck', and 'Super Secret'.
Hidden Easter BunnyFollow the arrows that start on Ruins Island. Ruins Island is close to Super Secret Island, with the Volution Easter Egg on it. Ruins Island has an arrow that points to Lookout Island, then to a small unnamed island, then to another small island with an 'X' on it. Get on it, and you will be teleported to a ring of arrows pointing to a floating Easter Bunny.
Easy moneyFind and store a few armored trucks in your garage. When they are destroyed, they will respawn in your garage again. Blow a truck up, and you should get a decent amount of money. After collecting the money, go back to your garage, and get the truck again. It may cost $600 for repairs, but you should get at least $1,000 for destroying one.

Easy Snatch activitiesUse a Bear (the Police APC) to easily complete Snatch activities. It is virtually impossible to stop once moving because it is nearly invulnerable. It can drive over smaller cars and pickups, the chaingun has infinite ammunition. It holds three passengers.
Easy kills in Zombie UprisingUse the flaming zombies as a weapon. When they come after you, let them follow you. Run into big crowds of zombies so the flaming zombies set the other zombies on fire, which will then count as kills for you. Also, use headshots for the small zombies.
Entering vehicles fasterStand on top of a vehicle and press Triangle. You will instantly be in the car.
Drive on wallsUse any motorcycle (Prototype recommended), and drive at a wall. At the correct moment, do a wheelie, and when both of the tires are on the wall, hold Up and hit the gas.
Taser executionWhen you take a human shield, switch to your Taser and press L2. This will save some ammunition.
Blow-up dollGo north from the lighthouse on the prison island. You will reach a large sewer pipe that has graffiti on the sides. Go into the pipe to find a blow-up doll on a very dirty mattress. Note: It will disappear after awhile.
FishingWhile on a dock, allow your character to remain idle for a short amount of time. He should walk up to the edge, take out a fishing rod, and begin to fish. He will continue to do so until you move him again.
Working outWhile in the prison yard, allow your character to remain idle for a short amount of time. He should walk over to a location and start curling a pair of dumbbells. He will continue to do so until you move him again.
Have homies follow you in a different carGet three homies, then find a car that only holds two people. Get in the car, and one of the homies will get in with you. If you wait, your other two homies will find a car and follow you. Note: This also works with motorcycles.
Defeating AkujiTo kill Akuji in the teahouse, use L2 to counter his attacks. It does damage and knocks him down. When he is down, stab him twice quickly before he gets up. Repeat this until he has been killed.
Defeating MaeroTo defeat Maero the first time on top of his hideout, hit him once with an RPG. When scoring a direct hit, he will go on one knee and stay down. You can then shoot him until he is defeated. If he gets up, just shoot him again. To finish off Maero in the arena, use some of the rockets to blow up all the trucks except for his. Use extra rifle ammunition to shoot his Monster Truck.
Defeating Mr. SunshineTo kill Mr. Sunshine in the factory, use a rocket on his voodoo doll to knock him down and cause damage. Hit the doll once to break his shield. You can then shoot him until he reaches the bottom floor. Note: If he completes his ritual with the voodoo doll, it will send you flying and inflict lots of damage.
Defeating The GeneralTo kill The General in the mall, use the saved rockets to blow up his armored Bulldog, then shoot him with any gun until he dies. Note: Do this quickly before he runs away.
Defeating Veteran ChildTo kill Veteran Child in his club, bring lots of ammunition. Use the stun grenades located around the pillars to separate him and Shaundi, then just run up and shoot him. Repeat this until he is dead.

The second in the Saints Row series.
It turns out that 'Playa' survived the blast that ended the first game, but has spent five years in a coma - the game begins just as he (or she -- you can now play a female character) wakes up. Upon busting out of prison and rescuing homie Johnny Gat from the electric chair, he/she discovers that four forces have risen to fill the void in power left by the Saints' disappearance:
- The Brotherhood, a gang consisting of white trash rockers and punks who favor tattoos, heavy metal and big trucks. (Red)
- The Ronin, a presumably Yakuza faction led by the petty son of one of the Japanese leaders. Favors motorcycles and import tuners. (Yellow)
- The Sons of Samedi, college kids and drug addicts led by Haitian Voodoo witch doctors and ex-military men. (Green)
- UltorCorp, a powerful corporation that has taken over and completely renovated the Saints' old 'hood, in a project spearheaded by Dane Vogel.. who has plans for the rest of the city. (orange)
Alive, pissed, gaining the ability to speak (and does she ever) and with a thirst for vengeance against those behind the explosive attempt on his/her life, 'Playa' becomes 'Boss' as he/she rebuilds the Saints from the ground up and embarks on a mission to destroy the other gangs, and eventually become the kingpin of the city.
Provides Examples Of
- Actor Allusion: In an early cutscene that finds the Boss watching the news shortly after escaping from prison, pay close attention to the news ticker on the bottom of the screen. It's mentioned that Benjamin King wrote an autobiography that would be made into a movie, where he'd be played by a man named Michael Clarke Duncan. Michael Clarke Duncan is King's voice actor.
- In the Ultor Exposed DLC, Tera Patrick says she has issues with nudity.
- In one of the Heli Assault missions where Shaundi makes drug deals, she'll swing round a coffee shop. 'I ain't doing a damn thing until I've had my Boston Cream.
- The Alcatraz: Stilwater Penitentiary
- Always Over the Shoulder: In aiming mode.
- Ambiguously Gay: Playing as a male leads to some rather odd moments with Pierce where he jockeys with Shaundi for the Boss' attention. And there's also his love of classical music and his reaction to seeing a female stripper: 'Damn, those are some nice shoes!'
- Right before a bar is raided by an Ultor SWAT team, the female main character can be seen welcoming a female bartender's flirts.. until SWAT breaches and Boss flings the bartender toward the bullets to shield herself, then blows her corpse up with gas to kill the members.
- In addition to that moment, there's the cutscene mentioned above with the stripper, in which she (the Boss) is laid back, taking in the show with as much satisfaction as a dude would. And the various comments early on in favor of a stripper pole in the Saints HQ. And for at least one of the voices, she has definite chemistry with Shaundi. She's definitely bi, if not an outright lesbian.
- Not to mention the way Boss ogles Shaundi when she's running on the treadmill, Jiggle Physics included.
- It seems that people in the game see it too; a Saint as I recall inquiring about the female player getting it on with Shaundi.
- Playing a female Boss, homies made these comments:
- Right before a bar is raided by an Ultor SWAT team, the female main character can be seen welcoming a female bartender's flirts.. until SWAT breaches and Boss flings the bartender toward the bullets to shield herself, then blows her corpse up with gas to kill the members.
Jane Valderrama: Would this be a bad time to tell you I love you?
White gangsta girl: Do you guys do the group thing?
White gangsta girl: Do you guys do the group thing?
Sims 4 very long hair nicki minaj. 男性用ショートヘアです。シムズ3の髪型「」をコンバートしたものです。こちらはいわゆる、透過ヘアです。一応お断りしておきます、シムズ4の仕様により以下のような不具合があります。. ノートPCモードでは正しく表示されません. 半透明な物の後ろでちょいちょい禿げます。(オブジェクトのフェードとかプールとか・・・).2015/12/04 のパッチで水面に反射している部分は禿げないようになりました。また、半透明プラムボブの仕様が変更になったためこちらでも禿げなくなりました。.
- And Jane more frequently (and affectionately) says, 'What would I ever do without you?'
- Anticlimax Boss: Dane Vogel. The rest of the mission is fairly challenging, but Dane himself? Easy as pie.
- Artistic License Physics: You can literally jumpstart motorcycles. Start a wheelie then hold the accelerator, handbrake and keep pulling your weight back (you may also want to hold the view back button to avoid the camera pointing into the sky). Now the bike is doing a standing wheelie, while spinning the rear wheel. Let go of the handbrake and the bike will literally jump forwards.
- Big Bad/Blond Guys Are Evil: Stilwater's resident Corrupt Corporate Executive (well, one of them, anyway), Dane Vogel. Eventually.
- Big Eater: Habitual stoner Shaundi insists on stopping for fast food on each level of her Heli-Assault Escort Mission. While being relentlessly pursued by swarms of Ronin with full intent of blowing her up.
- Black Comedy/Dead Baby Comedy: The various radio ads for Ultor products and services don't so much straddle the line between the two as hop gleefully back and forth over the line while chanting 'Bet you can't guess which one!' in a disturbingly cheery, singsong voice.
- Brick Joke: After the completion of Down Payment (mission number three in the prologue), we get this exchange in the ending cutscene.
Boss: (with regards to using the abandoned hotel as the Saints' new base) I don't know, man.
Johnny: Oh, come on. A stripper pole, some flat screens, maybe some nicer furniture..
Boss: You had me at 'stripper pole.'
Johnny: Fuckin' a.
Johnny: Oh, come on. A stripper pole, some flat screens, maybe some nicer furniture..
Boss: You had me at 'stripper pole.'
Johnny: Fuckin' a.
- At the ending cutscene of the next mission; this bit of dialogue comes.
Carlos: You guys actually hang out down here?
Shaundi: I dunno; add a flat screen, some throw pillows, and a hookah and this place would be alright.
Pierce: You definitely need a stripper pole in this bitch.
Shaundi: I dunno; add a flat screen, some throw pillows, and a hookah and this place would be alright.
Pierce: You definitely need a stripper pole in this bitch.
- The brick joke goes even further; as you progress through the game, the hotel undergoes renovations as it becomes more of a proper hideout. When it's fully refurbished, the Saints' HQ gets three stripper poles.
- Bond One-Liner: At the end of the Brotherhood storyline, this exchange.
Boss: (points a Vice 9 at Maero's temple) Any last words?
Maero: Go to hell.
Boss: (pulls the trigger) Sorry; didn't catch that.
Maero: Go to hell.
Boss: (pulls the trigger) Sorry; didn't catch that.
- Book Dumb: The Boss is fairly ignorant. He/she acts puzzled when Tara explains that she is a micro-biologist to which Tara replies 'read a book'.
- Bottomless Magazines: Certain activities, once fully completed, reward you with infinite ammo for a specific weapon type, so long as it's bought from Friendly Fire or taken from your cache. And while the magazines themselves aren't bottomless in the above situation, actual bottomless magazines are available through cheats. In addition, some weapons hold more rounds at once than their real-world counterparts can (shotguns in particular, with the double-barreled Tombstone holding 6 shells and the pimp cane holding 16).
- Buffy-Speak: Fittingly provided by Eliza Dushku as Shaundi - 'Maero's got enough guns to take over something that needs a lot of guns to take over'
- Bulletproof Human Shield: Taking a Banger for cover causes the other members to open fire and kill their friend while you take them apart.
- Buried Alive: Shogi Akuji, son of the leader of The Ronin, gets buried alive by Gat and the Player Character after interrupting Aisha's funeral.
- But Thou Must!: The obligatory sword-fighting sequences in the Ronin story thread.
- Butt Monkey: Pierce. Between competing for Boss' approval with Shaundi and fighting over what to listen to on the radio, he just can't seem to catch a break. Though being the Butt Monkey means that he can stick around. Unlike poor Carlos and Aisha.
- Call Back: In the final confrontation with the Ronin's leader, on an exploding boat, the Boss quips: 'Can we hurry this up? I wanna hit TGI!'
- Both of the Drug Trafficking activities reference events in the first game:
- The instance in the Hotels and Marina district has the mission's contractor as Luz Avalos, who will make passing references to the time she spent with Los Carnales.
- The instance in the Airport District has the player escort Tobias' cousin as he makes deals, who regularly mentions the Boss doing the same thing with Tobias himself in Saints Row.
- The final cutscene at the end of the prologue references the first game, with the leader of the Saints telling various lieutenants to watch certain gangs and one of them complaining about which gang s/he was given. The Boss even says the same phrase Julius used in response.
- Both of the Drug Trafficking activities reference events in the first game:
- Canon Welding: Ultor later goes on to oppress miners on Mars. In one of the DLC packs, a character is asked where Ultor is planning on mining, anyway, while you're pursued by Ultor's turreted vehicle prototypes, and the character states 'You wouldn't believe me if I told you.'
- Capoeira: The Sons of Samedi fighting style resembles this.
- Cluster S Bomb: How Male Voice 2 demonstrates his love of 'Sister Christian'.
Boss:Aww shit, aww shit! ..(percussion imitation).. guitars, guitars an' shit, OHHH SHIT!
- The Dev Team Thinks of Everything:
Male 1 voice sings to 'The Final Countdown'
Male 2 voice sings to 'Sister Christian'
Male 3 voice sings to both 'Working for the Weekend' and 'Don't you Forget About Me'
Female 1 voice sings to 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World'
Female 2 voice sings to 'The Reflex'
Female 3 voice sings to 'Down Under'
Allof them sing to 'Take On Me'
Male 2 voice sings to 'Sister Christian'
Male 3 voice sings to both 'Working for the Weekend' and 'Don't you Forget About Me'
Female 1 voice sings to 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World'
Female 2 voice sings to 'The Reflex'
Female 3 voice sings to 'Down Under'
Allof them sing to 'Take On Me'
- Compensating for Something: The Brotherhood, fans of excessive tattoos and big trucks, have a truck called 'The Compensator'.
- The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Multiple, multiple examples. Apparently rival gangs have a GPS tracker on you at all times, because with your notoriety through the roof, they'll all be on you at once, even if you're driving one of their vehicles. Similarly, the computer loves creaming you with a swerving civilian in the middle of a firefight, having random civilians actively pursue and slam onto your vehicle in chases, obliterating you with one shot with a rocket out of nowhere from an attack helicopter, and so on. Most likely the most egregious example, though, is the aforementioned Escort activity, where you discover that a lightning-quick sports car is no match for.. a news van from the 1980's, which will ride your bumper at 100 mph.
- The cars exhibit rubberbanding capabilities that would be more at home in Mario Kart. Enemy gangs will find the way to ram your car from behind, even if you are driving an exact clone of the car they are driving on a highway at top speed.
- Continuity Nod: Many characters are reused in the sequel; sometimes without any re-introduction, so they could only be recognized by players of the first game. And because of the PC's expanded customization options (including another gender) and voiced character in the second game, as a Running Gag characters remark on how different the player looks and acts before continuing to treat them as a familiar homie or acquaintance.
- And when factoring in the Canon Welding, one of the radio ads is for a show called 'Red Planet, Red Passion'. Second half sound vaguely familiar? The two names you hear most are Parker and Eos, as to remove all doubt. (Could be more of a Shout-Out or Mythology Gag due to how it twists the story of the original Red Faction from a miner's rebellion into a sappy love story/soap opera thing.)
- Cool Versus Awesome: Later levels of the Fuzz activity have you breaking up random fights between pirates and ninjas.
Break up the battle of the century.
Dispatch: Pirates are fighting ninjas. I repeat, pirates are fighting ninjas.
Dispatch: Pirates are fighting ninjas. I repeat, pirates are fighting ninjas.
- Cycle of Revenge: The Brotherhood arc is a doozy here.
- Darker and Edgier: The plot of the original game has the player very much as 'just another gangster' although trusted with more difficult tasks, working with the leader Julius to make the Saints the sole gang in the city, somehow making things safer. However, the sequel makes the hero the leader of the bunch and his/her actions disturbed some players. The tit-for-tat violence with Maero resulting in Carlos' death, and the player's retaliation (locking Maero's girlfriend Jessica in the trunk of her own car, then bringing said car to a monster truck derby, where Maero unknowingly crushes it).
- Once again, the tat part of the tit-for-tat violence may possibly be excused on the ground of it being fucking awesome revenge.
- Also, when the player meets Julius, he is trying to leave the past behind him. Trying to convince the player to stop the madness and killing, he is ignored, sneered at, and killed. Benjamin King was right in saying the gangs never leave you..
- Darkest Hour: Assuming you play all of the gang plotlines concurrently, Mission Four involves Aisha being murdered, Shaundi being kidnapped, Gat being hospitalised and Carlos being tortured to the point that The Boss is forced to Mercy Kill him
- Death by Disfigurement: Carlos.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Averted during the 'Fuzz' activity, which requires you to shoot, beat, chainsaw, and/or burn to death various 'criminals', some of whom are just peacefully protesting or skateboarding around town. The reason for the aversion is that A) you're not a cop and thus not worrying about dispensing actual justice and B) the camera crew following you around knows this. They're the ones to hand the player chainsaws and flamethrowers to take to hippies because they know it'll get them the best ratings.
- The whole Brotherhood plotline begins with this. Maero tries to push a blatantly one-sided deal for the control of Stillwater to the Boss. His response? Sneaking radioactive waste into his personal tattoo artist's ink supplies, causing him to unknowingly burn half of his chief's face off.
- Does Not Like Shoes: Some pedestrians, most notably the ones dressed like hippies. The hippie clerks at On the Rag also count. Most pedestrians in the Marina district are barefoot but in swimsuits (don't know if that counts). As always, it's up to you whether or not this applies to the Boss as well.
- Downer Beginning: From the very beginning of the game to the start of the story proper when you strike back against the new gangs, the only real high note is that The Boss turns out not to have died at the end of the first game.
- Easy Sex Change: You can visit a plastic surgeon at any time and completely change your character's appearance, including gender. And voice, somehow.
- Even Evil Has Standards: The one time the idea of racism really comes up, everybody in the room except the person making a racist joke is offended. Which includes two gang bosses, a lieutenant, and a gang boss' closest friend. Apparently, 'Saint's Row' takes place in a universe where racial tensions have nothing to do with gang wars.
- Evil Brit: One of the possible voice options is a rough English accent. You may recognize it as Mr. Sheffield from The Nanny.
- It's particularly hilarious for anyone who's seen that show before because the Boss does some very, very, very bad things in this game (things Max Sheffield wouldn't even want to hear about), so the 'Evil' bit qualifies.
- Evil Versus Evil: The Boss is, after all, building a criminal empire, and his/her main obstacle is other criminals.
- The second DLC, Corporate Warfare, centers around a conflict that pits current Ultor chairman Eric Gryphon against Dexter 'Dex' Jackson, your former homie who moved from the Saints to a position as head of security at Ultor.
- Fantastic Drug: The Sons of Samedi deal Loa Dust. It's made up primarily of high-grade marijuana, but treated with various other chemicals. They never say exactly what the effects are, though it seems to be very popular. During the Mushroom Samba mission all it does is warp the visuals - similar to what happens to the player when attacked with pepper spray or a flash-bang.
- Five-Token Band: The Saints leaders in the second game. Shaundi, the white woman; Johnny Gat the Asian, Carlos the hispanic, Pierce the (possibly gay) African American, and the Boss who can be any race or gender or anything in between. You may be a nutty psychopathic crimelord, but you're a non-discriminatory employer.
- Fragile Speedster: The Ronin are partial to fast cars and faster motorcycles..neither of which hold many soldiers and both of which are unusually prone to exploding, even by this game's standards.
- Funny Background Event : During a brotherhood mission, prisoners are seen being loaded onto a prison bus during a news report. One of them stops to mug for the camera..and gets a rifle but to the gut. Then he does it again..and gets it in the nuts the second time.
- Game Mod: Gentlemen of the Row, an overhaul for the PC port of the game.
- Gotta Catch Them All: Boss speaks in the second game. All the time. She even has six different voices to use, which say different funny things during missions, as well as when they get drunk. So play the game once as a Dark Action Girl, then as a Spicy Latina, then a Sassy Black Woman, then an Evil Brit, Badass Spaniard and Scary Black Man.
- In a more prosaic example, you can find yourself distracted for hours hunting down and killing all the Hitman targets, or chasing after all the cars on Chop Shop lists. The game really twists the knife as you get bonuses with the first, third and fifth lists you finish, all of which are either incredibly useful or ridiculous. Finish all the hitman missions and you'll have hand grenades, satchel charges and unlimited rifle ammo.
- Gray Rain of Depression: It's raining when The Boss has to Mercy Kill Carlos, and then spends sometime just sitting there.
- Guide Dang It: There's a Hitman target who you're supposed to find at 'the highway exchange in the Factories district' and lure out by drinking beer. Note that said district is pretty wide and covers a good stretch of highway, including a particular Spaghetti Junction-esque part near the middle of the map, so that's the first place you'd think to look..except it's the wrong area. Instead, you're supposed to head to the stretch of highway more toward the east to meet and kill him.
- Guns Akimbo: The game allows you to carry dual submachineguns and dual pistols.
- Hazmat Suit: Doubles as a fire-proof suit, too!
- Hollywood Tone Deaf: During one mission, Pierce changes the radio station in the car to Neyo's So Sick and sings along, much to Boss's chagrin. Worse still, if you want to change it back, prepare for a war over the radio..
- Similarly, every voice available for the player character has a different song that, when it comes up on the radio, they 'sing' along with it.
- And, as mentioned further down, they all sing along to Take On Me by A-ha.
- Similarly, every voice available for the player character has a different song that, when it comes up on the radio, they 'sing' along with it.
- Hot Coffee Minigame: Throughout Stilwater, you can find areas that let you unwind through a minigame using the control sticks. It's offscreen, but it's certainly audible, and the accompanying prompts for supposed sexual maneuvers are comic gold.
- And, like many other diversions in the game, fully completing it unlocks a free Saints-colored pimp outfit.
- Hot Pursuit: FUZZ.
- Ho Yay: The General and Mr. Sunshine. There is also The Boss and any of the lieutenants, depending on their gender.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Maero dwarfs his girlfriend Jessica (and everyone else for that matter).
- Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels: The lowest difficulty level in is 'Casual'.
- Incendiary Exponent: Trail Blazing. A check point race performed while on fire.
- Incredibly Lame Pun: Halfway through the game, the radio station Ezzzy FM is bought out by Ultor and renamed The World. This is announced on the station itself with Dane Vogel stating 'Ultor is proud to own The World!'
- Ink Suit Actor: Dane Vogel looks almost exactly like Jay Mohr with a ton of hair gel. Shaundi also somewhat resembles Eliza Dushku with dreadlocks.
- Intrepid Reporter: Jane Valderama plays one with pithy comments such as, 'Unfortunately for the Brotherhood not only justice is blind, but she's also a cruel spiteful whore.' She's also perfectly willing to finance chaos so she can cover it on the news, and occasionally goes 'embedded' with the Saints to cause some mayhem herself.
- Ironic Echo: At the end of the starting cutscene in Red Asphalt (Brotherhood mission number four), Jessica ends a phone call with the Boss by means of this tidbit:
Jessica: Do me a favor. When you're scraping your buddy's face, just remember, Maero gave you a chance to be his partner.
- At the very end of the next mission, after Maero crushes a car with Jessica trapped in the truck, the Boss hands Maero the car keys, leading to these lines:
Maero: What's this?
Boss: Do me a favor. When you check the trunk, just remember you should've offered me something better than 20 percent.
Boss: Do me a favor. When you check the trunk, just remember you should've offered me something better than 20 percent.
- Karmic Death: Considering all the crap the people behind the rival gangs, Ultor, and others pulled,[1] it only seems natural that they get what's coming to them.
- Weapon of Choice: Members of the Ronin also carry katana with them. Jyunichi even has two.
- Kill the Poor: Ultor's ultimate plan for Stilwater: Get rid of the gangs, and then get rid of all the other 'undesirables'. Too bad the Saints gets rid of the gangs first..
- Loony Fan: The Crowd Control activity has you protecting a celebrity from these. From the Saints Row wiki:
The earlier levels of this activity don't produce 'crazy' fans, with them just harassing (and on occasions throwing the odd punch or hitting the celebrity with a melee weapon; e.g. bat). Levels 4-6, as you'd expect, provide more aggressive fans. Levels 5 and 6 produce fans with armed weaponry, including pistols and assault rifles.
- Luck-Based Mission: Trail Blazing. It's not about how much you can hit, it's about how much you have available to hit. Not to mention that the explosive barrels you can use to take out large groups often have a completely barren blast radius.
- A lot of diversions can end up like this, most notably Insurance Fraud, which requires a large number of vehicles to successfully complete. For some strange reason, otherwise-bustling streets suddenly become near-completely abandoned, and when a vehicle does show up, they like to hit you before you can hit the fire button and get money from it.
- For Insurance Fraud, it's always best to head for the closest freeway/highway, as there's always a ton of vehicles there.
- Trail Blazing is also incredibly easy when played in co-op, where the second player can freely throw molotovs wherever he pleases, meaning you're performing badly if you end the run with less time than you started with.
- A better example is any of the missions with an AI driver partner. Enemy spawns are random, your partner's pathing is scripted. Often times enemies come from angles that cannot be targeted, are extra aggressive, or armed with random weapons that cannot be anticipated for. Good luck completing a mission if you take an RPG from nowhere, or your partner gets stuck, or you get rammed from head-on.
- A lot of diversions can end up like this, most notably Insurance Fraud, which requires a large number of vehicles to successfully complete. For some strange reason, otherwise-bustling streets suddenly become near-completely abandoned, and when a vehicle does show up, they like to hit you before you can hit the fire button and get money from it.
- Limited Wardrobe: Poked fun at. Wear the same clothes long enough, and people on the streets will take notice, probably via the clothes' stench from being worn so long.
- Machete Mayhem: The Sons of Samedi's favorite melee weapon.
- The Man Behind the Man: Dane Vogel is behind all of the gang warfare, or at least manipulating it to his own ends.
- Jessica qualifies for Maero, as the game implies she's at the very least in charge of the cash and sometimes tactics.
- Mushroom Samba: During the 'Bad Trip' mission in the Sons of Samedi storyline, the Boss receives a blow to the head from a baseball bat and a Loa Dust hotboxing inside the General's limo. The rest of the mission has warped visuals and wonky steering.
- The Musical: This video. Also, any time your character listens to certain songs over a long period of time on the radio, you also get this Trope.
- Mercy Kill: After you lace Maero's tattoo ink with radioactive waste and disfigure him the Brotherhood retaliates by kidnapping Carlos and towing him around the city from their car's rear bumper. When the Boss finds Carlos he/she can't break the chain connecting him to the car and realizes that he'll die anyway, the Boss pulls out his/her pistol and finishes Carlos off.
- Even worse The Boss holds Carlos's hand when s/he is doing it. Then his hands goes slack. You can feel The Boss' heart breaking at that.
- Mythology Gag: During the news report on Gat's trial a ticker reports that Michael Clark Duncan will play former gang leader Benjamin King. Duncan played the leader of the Vice Kings in the first game.
- Name's the Same: The Boss, same as The Boss. Now that would be a cool fight.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Johnny delivers the mother of all these to Shogo after he attempts to kill Johnny and The Boss at Aisha's funeral, even managing to punch his head through a tombstone.
- And, for good measure, following each round with an icy 'Get up.'
- Not So Harmless: Maero, at the beginning, sees the Boss as a 'washed-up gangbanger' and for this reason offers him/her only 20% of his shipment and by extension, 20% of Stilwater. And after the Boss angrily turns him down, he barely does anything in response, still seeing him/her and the Saints as a nuisance. Then he gets his face burned with radioactive waste, his girlfriend killed, and his best friend crippled, and he then devotes all energy to destroying the Saints.
- Non Sequitur: Getting your character drunk generally results in them spouting off one or two.
- Also, shortly after the starting cutscene in Bad Trip (the sixth mission in the Sons of Samedi storyline), Shaundi contacts the Boss asking him/her what they did to cause the Samedi to attack the Saints' hideout and afterwards, if he/she is high. Both of her questions are met with a non sequitur.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: The Male English voice tends to switch between British and American pronunciations at random. Which is odd, considering the voice actor actually is British.
- Outside Context Villain: You, as the leader of the Saints, are essentially a Batman-style supervillain running on comic-book style physics operating in a world without superheroes restricted to rather mundane means of attempting to deal with you.
- Panty Shot: Inevitable if your character enjoys short skirts, motorcycles, and reckless driving... unless you choose not to wear panties, of course
- Pet the Dog: Despite being a Heroic Sociopath for most of the game, several scenes reveal that the Boss has a softer side. Most notably, his/her reaction to having to mercy-kill Carlos. And in the first mission of the 'Ultor Exposed' DLC, the Boss is horrified by the mutilated corpses of people who have been experimented on by Ultor.
- Police Brutality: The activity Fuzz is all about this, as you star in a Cops parody and use.. well, excessive force to bring in high ratings.
- Cameraman: 'Flamethrowers are standard issue..right?'
- Goes Up to Eleven when the camera man issues you a chainsaw.
- Cameraman: 'Flamethrowers are standard issue..right?'
- Politically-Incorrect Villain: Jessica, who within two lines has told Carlos he looks like her housecleaner.
- Porting Disaster: The PC version has significant performance issues even on the lowest graphical settings - where matte paint removes lightning completely from car models, causing them to look like a flat colored shape on the screen.
- The Pratfall: There is a special 'Pratfall Cheat Code' that allows you to perform pratfalls and faceplants for your own amusement.
- Product Placement: Stuff downloads off of your Xbox Live account onto your game's billboards automatically. And it's still going on. As of 2010, you can see advertisements for Ugly Americans.
- Purple Is Powerful: Male voice 2 (while drunk): 'Yeah, my gang wears purple. You wanna say something 'bout that?'
- Which is ironic, considering what he says while sober.
'Purple.. who the fuck came up with that shit?'
- Rasputinian Death: Mr Sunshine, from the Sons of Samedi arc is gunned down (as a Boss Fight), arises only to be shot again, gets up again causing Boss to unload their pistol into him, then has his head chopped off and thrown into a meat processor, just to make sure.
- Real Estate Scam: Septic Avenger, spraying sewage on building to lower property values.
- In the manual, at least. Talking to some of the ones who want it are spraying sewage for different reasons (like, for example, to spite the new mayor).
- Retcon: Word of God states that if you choose to start the second game as a woman then Playa has always been female.
- Retirony: Cops nearby will sometimes mention that the cop that you just killed was 'about to retire'
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: The entire Brotherhood storyline. It starts with the Boss getting revenge for being completely shafted in a potential deal with the Brotherhood and insulted. Then revenge for them dragging Carlos behind a truck until he is bleeding heavily and is missing a good part of his face. This results in the Boss having to Mercy Kill Carlos.
- Also the Ronin storyline after they killed Aisha, nearly killed Gat, and then tries to kill the Boss and Gat at Aisha's funeral.
- Running Gag: Various folk (such as Gat, Aisha, etc. etc.) commenting on the Boss' appearance by asking whether or not they've done something with their hair.
- This becomes funnier after noticing the default Boss represented in the splash screens is bald.
- Lampshaded in a later mission where you meet up with Julius at the Saints old hideout.
Julius: Hey, you look different. Did you-
Boss: *pulls out a pistol* I didn't do shit to my hair!
Boss: *pulls out a pistol* I didn't do shit to my hair!
- And Pierce's Butt Monkey moments and his ideas thwarted. Also Shaundi really getting around.. and it helps.
Saint Row 2 Youtube
Boss: Hey Shaundi, you ever date somebody who works at a place called the Pyramid?
Shaundi: [Thinks] No.
Pierce: For real?
Shaundi: [Thinks] No.
Pierce: For real?
- Sarcastic Clapping: The Boss does this to Maero after s/he arranges for Mareo to unknowingly run over Jessica, his girlfriend. S/he even steps out of the shadows while doing it.
- Score Multiplier: Several activities, such as Mayhem and Insurance Fraud, require you to gain these in order to succeed.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When the boss and Maero come crashing through the roof, into the room where Donnie and Matt are hiding, Donnie, who had been that campaign's Butt Monkey, decides hes had enough and makes a quick exit stage right. He doesn't appear again. Contrast to Matt, who stayed and got a brick to his head
- Shout-Out: The prison doctor you kill right at the beginning may say 'I'll figure out the secret to Dr. Stiles' healing touch if it kills me!' To which a nurse will reply, 'It's the procedure that kills you.'
- Not sure whether this is a coincidence or a shout-out: Dane Vogel happens to be the name of a character on VA Michael Rapport's former FOX sitcom The War At Home.
- The cashier at Apollo's signs off with 'Have a nice day, so say we all.' Made even funnier because Apollo's is a Fictional Counterpart to Starbucks.
- Shut UP, Hannibal: In the final mission The Boss has Dane Vogel at a gunpoint, who desperately tries to talk the gun down by praising the Saints and the Boss.It didn't go well.
- Soundtrack Dissonance / Suspiciously Apropos Music: The Klassic 102.4 channel can be like this. Sometimes it's weird running down gangbangers while a light piano piece plays, and sometimes you get to chase down vans in an attack helicopter while 'Flight of the Valkyries' plays in the background.
- Stealth Hi Bye: Several Masako members pull one on Maero when he bursts into Vogel's office the second or third time, he doesn't notice until Vogel draws his attention to them.
- Stop Helping Me!: For the most part, your recruitable AI buddies do a decent job at fighting alongside you.. until they pick up an RPG. Then it's just a matter of time before they kill themselves (or you) with a rocket fired at somebody from point-blank range.
- Take That: The cutscene for one of the Rampage activities involves reporter Jane Valderama asking you to go on a rampage so that she can cover it and get more viewers than ZackJohnson, a 'nutjob lawyer who gets hard at the idea of a lawsuit' crusading against media he deems to be offensive. He doesn't have a lot of support, but apparently makes a big enough ass out of himself that whenever he pulls some stunt, people listen.
- There was also the ad for the game where it compared GTAIV's mundane activities to the Jackass-style flaming ATV riding, sewage spraying, over the top activities you can do in Saints Row.
- Russell, one of the target in Assassination side mission, is a guy in a fedora and a leather jacket, who 'when not sniffing coke off of prostitutes, dabbles in archaeological studies.'
- In the first Ronin mission, Pierce wants to create an elaborate plan for a heist at their casino. The Boss and Gat decide it would be much more fun and quicker to just shoot up the place. Sound like a shot at another sandbox game that had a needlessly complex heist plan you can think of?
- Tattooed Crook: Most noticeably the Brotherhood. The Boss uses this to disfigure Maero by dumping radioactive waste in his ink.
- Boss too, if you want; in fact you have to get at least one tattoo to make one Assassination target show up.
- Tempting Fate: Random drivers: 'This car doesn't have a scratch on it, and it better stay that way!'
- Sometimes averted, as they'll inform you the transmission was going out anyway.
- Too Dumb to Live : Shogo. Having a well known psycho like Gat's girlfriend killed was dumb enough. Showing up at the funeral looking for a fight? Well there's a reason he's Buried Alive.
- Tron Lines: The unlockable Kaneda motorcycle has them.
- True Companions: How The Boss treats his gang members..most of the time.
- Two-Faced: In the mission 'Waste Not, Want Not', the protagonist puts radioactive waste in Maero's tattoo ink, which leaves a very large, very nasty scar on the left side of his face. Just try watching the scene immediately following WNWN and try not to cringe. ' Jessica..How'd you like Maero's new tattoo?'
- UST: The Boss thinks that there's some of this between Pierce and Shaundi, at least with the British voice set.
'I wish Pierce would quit bitchin' about Shaundi and just fuck 'er already.'
- Vapor Wear: Like the first game, you can customaize your underwear. Unlike the first game, no underwear is an option (and depending on what else you wear, this may be obvious).
- Wall of Weapons: The inside of The General's limo is a small example; his side of the car is filled with NR4 pistols and K6 Krukov rifles.
- Weapon of Choice: Members of the Ronin also carry katana with them. Jyunichi even has two.
- 'Well Done, Son' Guy: Kazou Akuji really doesn't like his son Shogo, and doesn't seem to particularly upset about his death so much as getting back at the Saints for stealing the Ronin's territory.
- What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?: A radio ad trying to make chess championships seem cool.
- When Elders Attack: The elderly of Stilwater will occasionally attack you if you piss them off. Applies to some enemies, such as Kazuo Akuji, and The Boss as well if you made him/her old.
- Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: The game answers this question with 'actually, I just did' in the final mission against the Ronin. What had been up until then a straight up sword fight ends with Boss shooting Akuji after losing their sword and Akuji taunts him/her for their lack of skill.
Akuji: Did you really think you could match my skill?
Boss: No. [draws a pistol and shoots]I'm gonna cheat.
Boss: No. [draws a pistol and shoots]I'm gonna cheat.
- Worth It: After completing a level in Escort, one of the clients will exit the car after saying 'I don't have enough money to pay the rent, but it was worth it!'
- Wrestler in All of Us: You're able to learn wrestling moves after destroying the Brotherhood. The main ones that stick out are the Death Valley Driver and Side Slam during the course of the Brotherhood missions.
- You Bastard: The secret mission 'Revelation', in which you gun down Julius and swear to take over the city.
Notes
- ↑(The Brotherhood torturing Carlos, the Ronin killing Aisha and almost killing Gat, the Sons of Samedi ordering Shaundi be killed, Ultor's plan to Kill the Poor, Julius Little almost killing the Boss in the first game)

Saints Row (2006)[edit]
Saints Row is the first installment in the series, having begun development in mid-2003 as a PlayStation 2 title under the name Bling Bling.[1] The game was announced at E3 2005 for the Xbox 360. As the first sandbox style video game to be released for the Xbox 360, Saints Row was widely anticipated; its pre-beta demo build set records after being downloaded nearly 400,000 times within a week.[2] It had sales in excess of 500,000 during its September 2006 release month, and was critically acclaimed. To date[when?], the game has had sales in excess of two million units.[3] The game is set in the fictional city Stilwater, which is located in the state of Michigan. The player character is inducted into the 3rd Street Saints gang after they save their life, and assists the Saints in eliminating three rival gangs that control the city. After the gangs have been eliminated, police chief Monroe kidnaps the Saints founder Julius Little and offers the player to exchange the gang leader's freedom for mayor Marshall Winslow's life. After Winslow is assassinated, Monroe is murdered by the Saints, and Julius is freed. The other Saints members look towards the player character, considering them their new leader. The new mayor Richard Hughes invites the player character aboard his private yacht and Julius betrays the player by blowing the yacht up and killing everyone but the protagonist on board. The game was renowned for being the first seventh-generation sandbox game, and introduced features which have since become staples to the genre. It introduces online multiplayer, an in-game mobile phone, GPS navigation, and elaborate character and vehicle customization.[4][5]
Saints Row 2 (2008)[edit]
Saints Row 2 began development in mid-2006, a few months before the Xbox 360 release of Saints Row.[6] While a PlayStation 3 port of Saints Row was in development, it was cancelled when Saints Row 2 was confirmed in May 2007.[7] A Microsoft Windows port, announced in June 2008, was released in early 2009. Three downloadable content packs were developed and launched in mid-2009 (for console only), including Ultor Exposed and Corporate Warfare.
Saints Row 2 is set years after Saints Row; having survived the yacht explosion, the player character awakens from a coma in a prison hospital and, after escaping, saves Johnny Gat from execution. Together with the newcomers Carlos, Shaundi, and Pierce, they begin to revive the 3rd Street Saints, gradually reclaiming Stilwater from the three gangs that had taken control of the city in the meantime (The Sons of Samedi, The Ronin, and The Brotherhood). The Ultor Corporation, responsible for the redevelopment of the Saint's Row district, eventually recognizes the Saints as a threat and attempts to extinguish them, but the player character assassinates Ultor's CEO Dane Vogel, severely weakening the company. The ending sees the Saints run Stilwater once more. The game builds upon the fundamentals of Saints Row by improving the respect system, adding more varied activities, increasing the extent to which the player can customize their character, gang, and vehicles, and adding a number of new vehicle models. It expands the Stilwater setting and adds new gameplay features and content.[8]
Downloadable content[edit]
Saints Row 2 received several downloadable content (DLC) releases, including two story DLCs. The first, Ultor Exposed, adds Red Faction: Guerrilla-themed content,[9] and stars American pornographic actress Tera Patrick,[9] who plays herself as a whistleblower and former microbiologist for the Ultor Corporation. It was released on 23 April 2009.[10][11] The second, Corporate Warfare, focuses on the struggle between the 3rd Street Saints and the Ultor Corporation, and was released on 28 May 2009.
Saints Row: The Third (2011)[edit]
Saints Row: The Third was announced in March 2011. It was released in North America on 15 November 2011, in Europe on 18 November 2011, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Microsoft Windows platforms.[12] The game began early development at Volition in September 2008, a month before Saints Row 2 was due to release.[13] The player controls the leader of the 3rd Street Saints, who have grown from their humble roots as a street gang into a worldwide crime group. The story centers around the conflict between the Saints and the Syndicate, a rival crime group who seek to take advantage of the Saints' influence. Though the first two Saints Row games were set in the fictional city of Stilwater, Saints Row: The Third is set in a new city named Steelport. Steelport is run by three gangs, much like Stilwater was in Saints Row and Saints Row 2, yet these gangs—Morning Star, the Deckers and the Luchadores—are all under the control of the Syndicate. Later on in the game, a division of the military known as S.T.A.G. is called to Steelport by authorities in an attempt to eradicate all of the gangs in the city.[14]
Downloadable content[edit]
Downloadable content for Saints Row: The Third was announced before the game's November 2011 release along with a commitment from publisher THQ to support 40 weeks of content. Among smaller upgrades, three main content packs were released: Genkibowl VII (released 17 January 2012), Gangstas in Space (released 21 February 2012), and The Trouble with Clones (released 20 March 2012).
Saints Row IV (2013)[edit]
Saints Row IV was unveiled in March 2012 and released in North America on 20 August 2013 and worldwide shortly after on 23 August. The game is set five years after the events of Saints Row: The Third. After the Saints stop a terrorist attack by Cyrus Temple on the United States, the Saints leader has been elected President. Soon after, an alien invasion occurs and the earth is overrun.[15] The majority of the game is set in a simulation of Steelport created by the aliens to break the Saints' wills. In this simulation, the Saints must fight against the enemy for justice of their past and their own worst fears.
Downloadable content[edit]
Saints Row IV's first story-driven downloadable content pack, Enter the Dominatrix, is a 'directors cut' version of the cancelled Saints Row: The Third expansion of the same name, and was released on 22 October 2013.[16] Its second story DLC, How the Saints Saved Christmas was released on 10 December 2013.
A standalone expansion to Saints Row IV, called Gat out of Hell was released on 20 January 2015 in North America and 23 January 2015 in Europe.[17] The plot revolves around Johnny Gat's attempt to rescue the Boss from Hell after being captured by Satan.[18]
Gameplay[edit]
The Saints Row series is part of a genre known as sandbox games. The series combines elements of action, adventure and vehicular gameplay. The player can freely roam the virtual world on foot or by use of vehicles and make use of an array of weapon and mêlée based combat. Illegal activity such as assaulting NPC civilians and police officers will instigate a proactive and potentially lethal response from authoritative figures. In the instance of death or arrest, the player will respawn at a nearby hospital or police station.[19]
An emphasis is put on urban warfare; the player character is affiliated with a hip-hop cultured street gang known as the 3rd Street Saints. Game missions are structurally divided into separate mission arcs. These mission arcs do not intertwine but can be played through altogether at once or separately by the player. Missions are unlocked by accruing respect points; respect is game currency earned by playing non-story mini-games known as activities and diversions.[20] Customization also constitutes a large portion of gameplay. The player has the ability to customize their character's appearance and clothing, can take certain vehicles to chop shops for modification and in Saints Row 2 is able to decorate the interior of in-game safehouses and refine the behaviour of the Third Street Saints gang.[21]
Setting[edit]
Stilwater[edit]
The setting of both Saints Row and Saints Row 2 is the fictional city of Stilwater, located in the midwestern state of Michigan, USA. Stilwater is primarily based on the real-world American cities Chicago and Detroit. During the early development process of Saints Row, the city was designed before the script was assembled and was more than four times the size of its final revision but was cropped to a smaller revision because development resources could not support a city of that size but the red light district is largely based on Harlem including Raykins hotel as The cotton club.[22] During its development phase the city went through consistent expansion and cropping; examples such as the shopping mall and trailer park districts in Saints Row 2's city revision were originally included in early designs of Saints Row's city revision.[22] A design challenge was creating the city without load-screen interferences and as such the engine was designed to stream around the player's location in individual chunks of the city.[1] The city was designed to feel diverse and have a variance of districts; Saints Row product art director Matt Flegel commented that 'We wanted the city to cover all styles, from the towering sky scrapers of downtown to the gritty industrial feel of the factory district. We want the player to feel the changes between the districts, rather than just noticing the visual difference.'[23] The districts were also designed to feel relevant to the gangs that controlled them.[23]
The Stilwater of Saints Row 2 is significantly different from its original rendition; the city is 45% bigger than its older counterpart.[24] Much of the city from Saints Row is redeveloped in Saints Row 2, albeit becoming more 'alive' and full of depth.[25]Saints Row 2 lead producer Greg Donovan said that 'Stilwater in Saints Row 2 is very different from Saints Row. In fact, every detail has been touched to some degree or another. [..] I think that what will end up happening is that people who played Saints Row or are fans of the franchise are going to have a great time exploring the city and looking for new things. [Also], people that are new to Saints Row 2 are just going to be presented with a huge, very dispersive and very different looking environment, it's very well polished and detailed.'[26] There are no in-game load screens in Saints Row 2,[27] a notable feat as the game allows for seamless co-operative play. There are over 130 interiors within the city, including over ninety different shops.[28] The city is more dynamic and lifelike in Saints Row 2, as the artificial intelligence is smarter i.e. civilians will interact with each other.[29] Additionally, certain elements of Saints Row 2's environment are destructible as the game shares some technology with the Volition-developed Red Faction: Guerilla game.[30] Its environment also features numerous landmarks and Easter eggs; one such feature won 'Top Easter Egg of 2008'.[31]
Steelport[edit]
The game Saints Row: The Third is set in the sister city of Steelport, a city that flourished in the 1800s and has since succumbed to economic failure. Steelport's districts are almost distinctly the same, and the city size is smaller than Stilwater but has larger buildings. Steelport's most memorable feature is the large statue on Magarac Island, south-east of downtown Steelport. The statue is that of steel worker Joe Magarac and is a parody of the real-life Statue of Liberty. The overall design and look of Steelport can be changed via progressing through the story. At certain points the player is allowed to choose whether to do one thing over the other, which will change how Steelport's skyline appears. Some of these choices include deciding whether to keep or blow up the Syndicate Tower. A large military ship named the Thermopylae will be located south-east of Steelport after completing the first STAG mission, 'Gang Bang'.
Saints Row IV is once again set in Steelport, however the city is set in a simulation under control of Zinyak, the game's main villain. Zinyak has changed Steelport to fit his likeness removing all signs of the Saints from the city and replacing them with images of himself, and alien technology can be seen heavily throughout the city. Many missions in Saints Row IV take place in locations other than the main sandbox of Steelport. The city of Stilwater (the setting of Saints Row and Saints Row 2) returns for one mission of the game, two missions take place in the 1950s version of Steelport, while Washington, D.C. is featured in the game's introduction.
Other media[edit]
Film[edit]
A Saints Row film was announced to be in pre-production in April 2019, with production by Fenix Studios, Koch Media and Occupant Entertainment. F. Gary Gray is currently set to direct the film with a screenplay written by Greg Russo.[32]
Cancelled games[edit]
A spin-off titled Saints Row: Undercover was being developed by Savage Entertainment for the PSP in 2009 but was cancelled for unknown reasons. On 22 January 2016, Volition found a prototype of the game in a PSP development kit and released it as a free download on Unseen64.net.[33][34][35]
Saints Row: Money Shot was to be a spin-off of the main series, originally developed for Xbox Live Arcade.[1] The game would be available for the Xbox 360 as an Xbox Live Arcade game and for the PlayStation 3 as a PlayStation Network game featuring 3D graphics.[36][37] The game would have been tied to Saints Row: The Third, as part of the marketing campaign for the game. Playing Saints Row: Money Shot would have unlocked exclusive content for use in Saints Row: The Third, and vice versa.
Other cancelled games include a Nintendo 3DS title first announced at E3 2010 called Saints Row: Drive By, and a Kinect/PlayStation Move fighting game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 called Saints Row: The Cooler.[38][39]
Saints Row shared universe[edit]
The events of Saints Row take place in a shared universe alongside Volition's Red Faction series and Agents of Mayhem.[40]
Red Faction[edit]
The connections between Saints Row and Volition's Red Faction series begin as early as the series' first installment in 2001, Red Faction. The first Red Faction takes place in 2075 and continues the story of The Ultor Corporation, who have begun mining operations on Mars due to Earth's rapidly depleting resources. This storyline is heavily referenced in Saints Row 2 (and its DLC). Despite potential licensing conflicts after Nordic Games purchased the rights to the Red Faction series in 2013, references to the events of Red Faction continued to make appearances in the Saints Row series. On 14 February 2018, Nordic (now known as THQ Nordic) acquired Koch Media, effectively reuniting the Red Faction and Saints Row IPs under the same publishing umbrella for the first time since THQ's bankruptcy and acquisition by Nordic.[41]
Agents of Mayhem[edit]
On 6 June 2016, Volition released a trailer for a new IP set in the Saints Row universe, Agents of Mayhem.[42][43] The game is set in a futuristic Seoul, South Korea, and takes place after the events of Gat Out of Hell's 'recreate earth' ending. The cinematic announcement trailer shows Persephone Brimstone (a character featured in Gat Out of Hell) leading an organization known as 'M.A.Y.H.E.M.' under the Ultor Corporation's payroll and to stop the terrorist organisation 'L.E.G.I.O.N.' from destroying the world's nations.[44]Agents of Mayhem was released on 15 August 2017. Pierce Washington and Oleg Kirlov are two of the game's twelve playable characters, while Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington are playable as DLC characters.[45][46][47][48]

Additionally, the downloadable content packs for Saints Row 2 received mostly average reviews.
The Xbox 360 port of Saints Row received generally positive reviews and scores. It received an 82.20% and 81/100 from review aggregators GameRankings and Metacritic respectively.

However, he criticized the lack of polish and lack of variety in mission design.[60] It was hailed as 'the best reason to own a 360 this side of Oblivion' and a 'must buy' by GamePro reviewer Vicious Sid, who awarded it five stars out of five.[61]
Both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 ports of Saints Row 2 received positive reviews. It received an 83.37% and 82.99% from GameRankings respectively, and 82/100 and 81/100 from Metacritic respectively. GameSpy reviewer Gerald Villoria awarded the game four and a half stars out of five and said that 'Saints Row 2 offers up a shooting and driving experience that is plenty of fun [..] It's self-consciously funny in its irreverence, and its low-brow humor will definitely appeal to much of its audience'.[62] IGN reviewer Nate Ahearn awarded Saints Row 2 an 8.2/10, praising the gameplay but criticizing the lack of polish and the weak artificial intelligence.[63] However, the PC port of Saints Row 2 received a much less positive response. It received an aggregated score of 70.68% and 72/100 from GameRankings and Metacritic.
Dan Whitehead of Eurogamer wrote that Grand Theft Auto IV was a boon for the Saints Row series since it allowed the latter to be 'gleeful silly sandbox games' as the former series took a more serious turn.[64]
Sales[edit]
Saints Row 2 shipped over two million units for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 during October 2008, the month of its release.[65]
On 2 November 2011, THQ CEO Brian Farrell announced that Saints Row: The Third was already the most pre-ordered title in series history. In fact, the game had four times the number of pre-orders Saints Row 2 had two weeks before its launch. THQ estimated the game would ship over 3 million units before the publisher's fiscal year ends in March 2012. By comparison, Saints Row 2 launched in October 2008 and sold 2.6 million by the end of the fiscal year. On 25 January 2012, THQ announced that The Third had shipped 3.8 million units globally and are expecting to ship between five and six million units lifetime on the title.
To date, the series has roughly sold over 13 million units, including over three million for Saints Row 2.[66]

Saints Row 2 is a mobile tie-inaction game developed by Swedish studio G5 Entertainment and published by THQ Wireless to accompany the Saints Row 2 console game. It was released in October 2008. The game follows the story of the series where the player returns from jail and fights to protect and expand his gang's territory. The player can steal, carjack, mug, shoot, stab, and kill computer players. There are special minigames for robbing, stealing, and carjacking. Completing missions earns money to be spent towards replenished supplies and player upgrades. Reviewers contended that the game was too large for the small screen, which exacerbated difficult driving controls.
Gameplay[edit]

The game's story mimics that of the console game: the player-character returns to the city of Stilwater following a bid in prison and must restore the atrophied influence of their gang,[1] the Saints.[2] The player can kill, threaten, rob, carjack, and otherwise force other gangs out of Saints territory.[1] For example, player objectives in the tutorial mission include hijacking a car, killing a policeman, driving to a 'Forgive & Forget' location to lose the police pursuit, and mugging a pedestrian.[3] Locations throughout the city help the player, such as fast food restaurants that restore health, gun stores for firepower, and spray paint shops to decoy the player when pursued by the police. An on-screen minimap displays nearby locations, and there is a larger citywide map on the pause screen that does not show detailed locations.[1] The city is split into zones,[2] and the game's mission objectives largely consist of driving to locations and shooting things.[4] Mission examples include assassinations, bomb-planting, and robbery.[2]
The player can fight with a knife received early in the game[a] and later with firearms that feature auto-aim. There are also sequences where the player can snipe enemies with a sniper rifle. Enemies do not hide due to a lack of a cover system. The player can earn money by finishing missions and robbing pedestrians, which can then be used to buy food, weaponry, spray paint, and accessories for the character's home.[1] The mobile game features minigames for robbing pedestrians, stealing, and hijacking vehicles.[4] While robbing, the player taps happy and angry face icons to terrorize the victim into giving more money.[1] When stealing, a Tetris clone lets the player fit more items into the truck,[4] and the carjacking minigame lets the player earn more money for scaring the captive passenger by driving at high speeds.[1]
When driving, control options include 'directional steering' where 'left' and 'right' controls the vehicle in that direction (like a steering wheel) and 'up' accelerates, and another option where the player presses a button corresponding to the desired direction.[1] The player targets enemies by pressing the pound key and then pressing '5' repeatedly, which also leaves the character vulnerable.[2] Players can run faster than the cars can drive.[3]
Development[edit]
Saints Row 2 is a mobile tie-inaction game modeled after the Saints Row 2 console game.[1] It was developed by G5 Entertainment, where it was known as 'Project Sienna' in development,[5] and published by THQ Wireless on the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) platform.[2] The game was built on their proprietary Talisman engine, which G5 Senior Producer Mike Zakharov said in 2008 enabled the game to have a big environment with many things to do as 'one of the most complex modern mobile games'.[5] As compared with its preceding mobile tie-in game (associated with the original Saints Row), the Saints Row 2 mobile game fixed issues of small sprites and too much traffic. Additionally, the developers changed the camera perspective from directly overhead to a slight angle.[3]Saints Row 2 for mobile devices was first announced in June 2008[5] and released in October.[1] It is compatible with the Nokia N95[2] and Nokia N81.[4]

Saints Row 2 Wikipedia
IGN's Levi Buchanan described the game as somewhere between a traditional tie-in game and a cash grab, and 'ambitious' but limited by the confines of the mobile platform. He added the game appeared forced onto the platform despite its inability to support open world gameplay.[1] Keith Andrew of Pocket Gamer felt similarly,[2] and Rob Hearn of the same outlet also complained of how the large sprites restricted screen space and made driving slower.[3] IGN's Buchanan felt that the screen was too small to fit so much action, especially due to the size of the minimap, and though the city 'looks alive', it became 'a painful obstacle course'.[1] He found driving difficult between its controls and his inability to plan for the offscreen unknown.[1]Pocket Gamer's Andrew also found both driving controls complicated and found himself accidentally killing pedestrians and thus getting into police chases.[2] On the other hand, Andrew Podolsky of 1UP.com enjoyed driving through the destructible environments.[4]
IGN's Buchanan found the enemy artificial intelligence weak. Since no one takes cover, 'they just stand there to be shot.'[1] He added that the game was sufficiently long past the player's interest to continue, and that the game's sound was 'unimpressive'.[1] 1UP.com's Podolsky called the game a 'worthwhile download' and while noting that violent mobile games were rare, said the game looked 'nearly identical' to the 2007 mobile tie-in game for American Gangster, though Saints Row was more violent.[4] He added that the game's story was not interesting.[4]
Keith Andrew of Pocket Gamer wrote that the mobile game was 'like .. no other' since the player could 'watch life flow by' without providing input. He added that the game's primary task was staying alive since almost everyone other than the pedestrians and teammates are against the Saints. Andrew acknowledged the limitations of the top-down view on mobile and thought that the developers did the best job possible considering their platform's limitations, but asked, 'Is a game like Saints Row really made for your mobile?'[2]

Wacky Islands[edit]
From the prison, head west / northwest and you'll come to an uncharted island. Follow the arrow that appears on the island until you get to the 4th island. As you land on the island, it will disappear and you see a giant Easter Bunny come up out of the water.
Do the same thing as above but, when you get to the first island, turn around and go south. You'll find another secret island. Climb up on the rock with the opening before the island and look to the west in the water and you'll see a baby Loch Ness Monster briefly.
Further to the south you'll find another island with dinosaur bones.
Even more to the south you'll find Shipwreck Cove Island.
