Taking back the (Saint's) Row!

This is a game about gangsters! Specifically the gangs of Stilwater, an island city on an Earth much like this one, except that scrawny men can tear fire hydrants out of the ground without mechanical help.
Saint's Row 2 came out this past Tuesday or something, and if you're like me and enjoy a bit of random violence without feeling bad that you're perhaps not making a better life for your character, then this is your game! It picks up an unknown amount of time after the first game, in which your character got blowed the fuck up alongside the mayor by an unknown party on the mayor's yacht. You come out of your coma in prison, break out, and find that your gang is all but dissolved. It's time to take back your motherfucking city, and the first step onto that path is the strip club!
I'm not going to go over the reviews and previews from the game sites, i don't really read those, so i'm just going to give you my impressions from my day or so of playing.
The character designer is better than the first one, you can be a woman now, if you have a vagina in real life or just wish you had one! Or maybe you just like to look at pixelated booty, no one's judging you. just Baby Jesus. Naturally, I made myself as closely as possible because damn, it feels good to be a gangster. They give you voice options as well, unfortunately you have only three choices; British thug, Black urban, and pseudo-Hispanic.
I am British.
What's cool is that you get taunts and congrats movements, so when I want someone to throw the first punch I call them a wanker and make the jerking off motion, it's very satisfying.
Ok, I think I've gone on enough without saying much, there's motorcycles now and some new activities like cage fighting and spraying shit onto buildings, but all in all it's the same game as the first, just with more things to do and a different story with a guy that's not mute.

The wackiness levels are off the charts with the ninjas and the zombies and all that, which appeals to me
Probably get GTAIV for the PC before I get this though

I am totally down to play with folks sometime.

I thought it came out simultaneously
Shows what I know!

My guy looks surprisingly like me, only he's wearing a very nice, expensive suit (with a purple tie of course) because beating the shit out of people with a parking meter is more fun when you're dressed like an entertainment lawyer.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
also, since making money is so fucking easy I've already pimped out my tiny apartment, so now it has strippers wandering in and out.
Listen to me again; my 400 sqft apartment has half a dozen strippers.
Also, big british brutish thug fo lyfe.
And throwing young female police officers into oncoming traffic
you can now use people as human shields, but if you decide you're done with them or no one's shooting at you, you can throw them. A good 20 feet, at least. I've already run across a few times in the game where it is required for you to toss people into things, causing them to break.
Also I hit a dude with a chair.
I DRIVE A MUSCLE CAR WITH KNEE CAPPERS THROUGH CROWDS WHILE THROWING GRENADES OUT OF MY WINDOWS.
I AM A BEAST
I AM THE MAN
Also, katanas + bikes =
You can attack with a katana while riding a motorcycle?
Christ, now I have to get this game

also, samedi spoiler
wait
i thought because it was a special vehicle you got from a mission you couldn't but fuck yeah!
You can also customize bikes, but for some reason not the one the ronin missions get you.
But it don't matter, 'cos I cut them up.
Also, infinite pistol and shotgun ammo helps you a lot.
my brother did the same thing
so when we roll in my tricked out magma we basically just look like us, out on the town with machineguns shooting voodoo gangsters
it's just an improvement of basically everything
they took the same game with a slightly different story and made it better
it's a sequel in the true sense, as opposed to say how the GTA games are all almost completely different from each other
it's all just screaming 13 year olds calling me a faggot jew and shooting randomly as they zip around my screen due to lag
fuck that
I will not play more.
EDIT: I can't find a radio station I like. Been listening mostly to the krunch, but it's pretty meh.
play co-op with cool people!
i wish this game had 4 player co-op that would be intense
but then i guess all the missions would be a fucking joke
Heli assault is very easy though, as well as drug trafficking once you realize you can change car.
i got infinite sprint whoooooooo
also, burning organ you know you can make the shit spraying truck stop, right?
i was finding those missions hard until my brother explained to me "oh if you hold left trigger the car stops"
so you can really get your targets
Lots of things to find out in this game.
Such as: Driving the plane between those cars will rip your wings off, don't do it.
also changing cars with drug trafficking, wooo
