It features a variety of options, customization of a player’s gender, age, voice, crib and gang. Saints Row 2 also extends its environment and now features an open-world.

Players will need to recruit new members to re-claim Stilwater. It’s time to reclaim what belongs to the Saints and exact revenge on your rivals.

But remember that the fight to reclaim Stilwater does not have to be waged alone. The Saints once ruled these streets as a crew of brothers and their return to the top can help be secured through co-operative alliances. The time has finally come to seek revenge against your rivals to reestablish your crew as the rightful kings of Stilwater, but the streets are crawling with bangers. Check out the crews you’ll run into and remember their faces and their ways:

These are the crews that will try and keep you from reclaiming Stilwater:

3rd Street Saints

Once the kings of the city, the Saints have been forced out of their titular home of Saints Row by the Ultor Corporation, a giant conglomerate that gentrified the once poor neighborhood. Now operating out of an abandoned underground hotel, the Saints are looking to reclaim the glory that they lost several years ago.

Ronin

One of the newest gangs instilling fear in Stilwater, the Ronin recruit from both the city’s Asian population as well as among the immigrants. Their crimes involve peddling vice through gambling, prostitution, street-racing, and protection rackets, and their power has reached even into the boardroom of corporations like Ultor.

Sons of Samedi

Influenced by Voodoo and a history of military corruption in Haiti, the Sons of Samedi are known for their potent combination of spiritualism and fearlessness. Members are attracted to the gang out of respect for their methods, through coercion or a desire for easy income generated through trade in their designer drug called “Loa Dust.”

Brotherhood

Formed from the cast-outs and dredges of Stilwater society, the Brotherhood is a solid force of strength and intimidation intent on revenging itself upon the police and city. Specializing in violent extortion, they forego subtlety and nuance and simply take what they want, all the while flashing their allegiance with piercings and tattoos, bright colors, and gas-guzzling trucks.

Ultor Corporation

A ruthless corporate contender, the Ultor Corporation’s gentrification of Saints Row created a new skyline for the city and a headquarters for their corporate office at the expense of the poor and the 3rd Street Saints. Now they’re targeting another neighborhood, the Shivington projects, fueling gang wars and waiting for the prime moment to move in and reap the profits.

Saints Row 2 includes newly improved features like:

Limitless customization for your player, improved combat controls, new multiplayer modes like Strong Arm, Gangsta Brawl, Team Gangsta Brawl and Co-Op. The game also has lots of weapons, vehicles and new music.

Now go and reclaim what rightfully belongs to the Saints.
