#Saints row 2 map activities series#
Thus, the developers did the only sensible thing, and they gave the series a reboot for the Saints’ sweet sixteen, bringing Saints Row back to a world that’s slightly more grounded in reality, though the phrase “grounded in reality” is still being used rather loosely. To say the franchise has gone off the rails would be an understatement, and when the main characters don’t even have a planet to live on while their fallen allies are building a criminal empire in Hell, there isn’t really anywhere the series can go. There are two more downloadable packs on the way for Saints Row 2, but Volition has much to do to convince players to part with their cash next time.Saints Row began as a simple Grand Theft Auto knockoff, but after a few sequels the protagonists had super powers they used to battle alien invaders in a computer simulation after Earth’s destruction. It's hard to think of a reason why you'd part with good money for the limited extra entertainment offered by this DLC. The other elements are only worth it if you haven't already played the game extensively. With three uninspired and ludicrously short missions forming the meat of the package, it's a huge let-down. There's no doubt that Saints Row 2: Ultor Exposed falls down badly here. Unless you're able to schedule matches within your own community, you'll struggle to get any kind of online play going.Īs always with DLC reviews, the question of value for money creeps into the equation. At present, it's hard to even get a match going to test them out. Two each for gangbang/team gangbang and the rather appealing Strongarm mode. Fun, sure, but only of use for general sandbox play.Īnd finally, there are a bunch of multiplayer maps for the online community to play with. Then there's the crazy three-wheeled Pulse, Stallion racing car and super slick Temptress car. These include the EDF Scout vehicle, complete with roof-mounted multi-rocket Annihilator, the Vulture chopper and AB the Destroyer aircraft.
Of far greater interest are the six new vehicles.
So what else does Ultor Exposed have to offer? New clothing options are hardly headline material, nor are ten new hairstyles.
Call up Tera on your phone and have her dispense her own special brand of justice. Real obsessives might welcome the challenge to pit themselves against like-minded obsessives - but again, they're likely to be in the minority. A minority of players will be coming to Saints Row 2 fresh, having just bought the game and the DLC, and to them it might be of interest. When the mission ends, the player with the most points gets a cash bonus.Īll well and good, but this mode is near enough useless to anyone who's already played the game - which will be almost everyone buying this. As you kill members and destroy vehicles during missions you'll accrue points, with extra ones for getting headshots and so on. Shame none of this applies to Ultor Exposed, however, as Volition opted to not add any new mini-game content this time.Įlsewhere, the new competitive co-op mode is an interesting addition - assuming you have the inclination and the opportunity to play the missions through again with a companion. It's little more than pointless fluff on the end of an already uninspiring campaign, where dire combat and lemming-like enemy AI conspire to make large portions of the game truly forgettable.Īs with the original, there's no question that the most fun to be had in Saints Row is engaging in the many activities found scattered across the map - not to mention the diversions built into almost every square inch of the game. But even if you're playing the game with your feet you'll eke no more than an hour out of Ultor Exposed's missions. OK, if you forget to avoid said missiles in time the climax can be a pain in the 36 double-Ds.
