Saints Row 2 rollin’ onto PCs

THQ confirms its GTA-esque open-world auto-actioner will debut on Windows systems alongside PS3, 360 versions later this year.

PC gamers disappointed by the lack of a PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV are getting a consolation prize of sorts. Following product listings on GameStop, THQ reps today confirmed that Saints Row 2 is also in development for the PC. The recently delayed GTA-esque crime-action game had been previously announced for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Billed as darker than the semi-comic original, Saints Row 2 will return players to the fictional crime-overrun metropolis of Stilwater, a few years after the events of the first game, which saw the Saints gang take over the city. As a fully customizable male or female character, players will lead the Saints against three new rival gangs bent on seizing control of the streets.

Saints Row 2 will also offer a number of new features. Previously mission-based, online two-player co-op will now be extended to the full campaign mode, which will let a pair of virtual gangsters play through the entire story together. GameSpot’s hands-on preview has more details on the game’s co-op mode.

Dated: Saints Row 2

n3wton — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 16:11:13 +0000

THQ has revealed the US launch date of Saints Row 2 – the urban crime sim will be arriving on Xbox 360 and PS3 on August 26.
THQ Australia has yet to confirm the local release date, but the exacting nature of the information would suggest that even if it has not been announced, it has been decided.

Saints Row 2 will offer gamers considerably more potential for mayhem than the first game, with motorbikes, aircraft, boats, and stacks of new customisation options. It’s just as well – with both GTA IV and APB launching this year, Volition’s ghetto violence romp will face some stiff competition.
