Apparently you were kept alive in a prison hospital. Confused? Well don't be, because within the first few seconds of the game everything is explained. Despite the fact that you were blown to smithereens in a boat bomb, you play as the exact same person you played in the first game. Saints Row 2 picks up quite a while after the events of the first game. Sadly there's really only one way to accurately summarize Saints Row 2: It's a pre-GTA IV game living in a post-GTA IV world. But even though the parallels were blatantly obvious, many critics (myself included) were willing to forgive the game's sameness as a stop gap before GTA IV. With its "gangsta" story and non-stop violence, it was easy to draw a direct line from Rockstar Games' popular franchise and this THQ action game.
The original Saints Row was a solid action game that benefited from the fact that it was the only GTA-style sandbox game on the market.
