Saints Row 2: Customization to the Max

In a new IGN preview for Volition's upcoming Saints Row 2, they reveal some new story details. After the bomb explodes, your kingpin managed to survive the explosion, facing serious cosmetic damage. You begin a new storyline and redesign your character at a doctor's office as if your getting surgery. You find out later that it was the top members of your gang that set you up to buy the farm, and you need to rebuild the gang, and get revenge.

The ganes we know as Los Carnales, the Vice Kings, and the Westside Rollerz are gone. New gangs are coming in. One of the gangs shown during the presentation were the Sons of Samedi. No background was given on them. Stillwater has gone through major changes as well.

You can now use cars as weapons. We are not talking about running enemies over, we are talking about turning your car into a bomb. Throw some fireworks in the hood, ditch it, and watch it blow.

Saints Row 2 has huge customization options. Everyone has the ability to change their face, eyebrow length, character's mouth, and such, but Volition is taking it further than just that. You'll be able to customize your character's taunt, compliment, walk, and combat styles as well. You also have the ability to upgrade your crib as well, adding objects such as a stripper pole or nicer electronics.

There isn't much left to the preview, you can read the full article at the link below.
