While the cut-scenes on both screens were identical, it was a nice touch to see that each of our characters were talking to different doctors on our respective screens. We started a cooperative game from the story’s very beginning, which had us waking up in a prison hospital, plotting to break out. From the first mission to the last, and every side-quest and mini-game in between, there’s no reason to go at it alone. That is to say, everything you can do on your own, you can do with a friend. Impressively, Saint’s Row 2‘s cooperative campaign directly mirrors the game’s single-player story mode.
Hit the jump for details and impressions of the game’s cooperative mode, as well as its competitive games-within-a-game “Strongarm” mode. THQ and Volition recently held an event to show off another aspect of Saint’s Row 2 that they hope will make it stand out from the crowd - its multiplayer modes. 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 automobile stealing title that shall not be named. It’s clear that Saint’s Row 2, in terms of its themes and tone, isn’t going to be a serious affair. 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.
While THQ and Volition didn’t pick up Anderson, they did announce adult actress Tera Patrick as a “special producer” on the game. 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.”Īs it turns out, our first impressions were closer to the truth than even we had expected.
