These range from the annoying (texture pop-in and tearing) to the frustrating (textures disappearing below you) to the shocking (warping outside of cars at random and crashes that wipe out save games). Volition admitted before launch that Saints Row2woM not be bug-free -but, unbelievably, they've managed to create brand-new bugs, during the porting process. They've covered up a great game with lazy interfaces, a shocking amount of bugs, a lack of understanding of PC users, gaming, and seemed to have even failed to carry out basic testing. THQ and Volition should, frankly, be ashamed of themselves. In other words, no matter how much brilliance is hiding behind it, the presentation is so off-putting it's impossible to ignore.
If this review were an interview, Saints Row 2 is the misunderstood genius that turned up in ripped, stained jeans, a hoodie with 'arses' written on it, and stinking of piss. At the very least you'll wash, wear a decent suit, put a brush through your hair, and answer questions with a degree of honesty. When Going to a job interview, you want to look your best.
