It was released in October 2008 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and ported to Microsoft Windows in early 2009, and to Linux in 2016. A mobile tie-in version was developed by G5 Entertainment and released the same month. The game is the second title and first cross-platform release in the Saints Row series, following 2006's Saints Row. It is succeeded by 2011's The Third and 2013's Saints Row IV. Set in the fictional city of Stilwater five years after the events of Saints Row, players control the same protagonist and lead a new order of Third Street Saints gang against the three rival gangs occupying their turf and the corrupt Ultor Corporation conglomerate. Players navigate the open world and unlock missions by spending Respect, a currency earned by completing numerous off-mission activities. Two players can cooperatively progress through the game's story mode and participate in all activities. The player may also compete in 12-player deathmatches. The developers opted for a more comedic tone to set the game apart from Grand Theft Auto, a series featuring common gameplay elements. The game's promotional effort included various public showings, special editions and downloadable content including the Ultor Exposed and Corporate Warfare mission packages. Reviews were largely favorable, praising the action and straightforward gameplay, while criticizing technical issues. Reviewers were less receptive to the Windows port, citing worse technical issues. The game had sold around 400,000 units by November 2008, and 3.4 million units by September 2010. GameplaySaints Row 2 is an action-adventure video game set in an open world environment, offering the player a large open environment in which to move around. The player's character is capable of maneuvering through the environment, utilizing weaponry and engaging in melee combat warfare.[4][13] After successfully completing the first game mission, the player meets the Third Street Saints and begin their devious schemes with the gang. Missions are unlocked by earning 'Respect' points from minigames and side-missions[14] and although completing missions is necessary for game progression, players can complete them at their own leisure. The player is granted the option of instantly retrying the missions should they fail an attempt. Numerous checkpoints save progress in each mission, and missions can be replayed from locations within the environment. Aside from attempting missions, the player can explore the environment, purchase items at shops and participate in the aforementioned mini-games and side-missions.[15]{{Unreliable source?|date=May 2014}} The player can also wreak havoc upon the YouTube community which can provoke potentially fatal attention from authoritative forces.[16] The player can recruit members from a friendly gang and use a mobile phone to contact friends and/or businesses, as well as to input cheat codes.[17] Entering cheats will disable Xbox 360 achievements. Players drive vehicles that are stolen, bought or unlocked. Aside from automobiles, players can use boats and water craft,[18] helicopters,[19] fixed-wing aircraft and[20] motorcycles.[16][22] A cruise control system can be activated while using land or sea vehicles.[23] Waypoints can be placed on the pause-screen map, leaving a GPS route between the player character's location and the set destination. Players can hail taxicab services and pay a fee to quickly navigate the city. By taking land vehicles to Mechanics, players can apply paint schemes, body mods, hydraulics and nitrous oxide. Players create their own character through a system that allows them to modify gender, ethnicity, fitness, voice, face and hairstyle.[24][25][26] Walk and fighting styles, and personality traits can be assigned.[17][22][26] Players purchase clothes, tattoos and piercings, and set outfits can be bought or created and saved to the player character's wardrobe.[19][31] "Cribs" (safe houses) allow players to withdraw earnings, change outfits, replay missions and save the game.[24] Cribs can be customized by applying themes and purchasing objects like TVs and pool tables.[22] Boats and fixed-wing aircraft can be stored at purchased docks and hangars. Players select the outfits, vehicles, gestures and graffiti styles used by street members of the Third Street Saints.[34] The combat systems from Saints Row have been updated but many of the basics remain unchanged.[13] While engaging in melee-based combat, the player character will perform combos and charge up attacks,[31] and can execute a finishing move if three consecutive hits are dealt.[17] With a gun equipped, the player can perform a groin attack, and can zoom in for a finer aim reticle.[26] The player can also employ the use of human shields,[17] and can use makeshift weapons pulled from the environment e.g. fire hydrants, cement blocks.[24] Should the player either commit illegal activities or incite rival gang members, they will provoke potentially fatal attention from authoritative figures or rival gangs. The notoriety bar is a visual representation of the proactivity of the opposing figures' response and continual inciting of these groups will bring about a more powerful response, such as SWAT teams from the police. The player will continue to be chased by these groups until captured or killed and must reduce the notoriety bar by either hiding from the police or gang and wait for it to "cool off", or by seeking out a drive-through confessional which will clear the notoriety bar for a small fee.[16] Should the player character be apprehended or killed, a small percentage of the player's earnings will be removed and the player will respawn at law or healthcare institutions. The game contains over forty different weapons, many of which have been recycled from Saints Row. The game allows the player to utilise new weapon types, examples of which include satchel charges, laser-guided rocket launchers, chainsaws and more.[42][43] The player has the ability to dual wield handguns and submachine guns. Weaponry can be purchased by the player from specific stores or unlocked throughout in-game progress.[20] Open worldPlayers navigate the open world, fictional city of Stilwater. The city consists of forty-five neighborhoods divided between twenty districts. It is expanded from Saints Row From the beginning of the game, the map of Stilwater is fully visible. However, shops and activities will simply be displayed as a question mark until the player discovers them. By completing missions and wiping out enemy strongholds the player gains control of the various neighborhoods the city is split into. There are over 130 interiors within the city, and hidden events can be triggered by some,[18] including over ninety shops which can be purchased when the player controls each shops' associated territory.[34] The player gets a 10% discount at owned stores and buying an entire chain of departments will mean that the protagonist's face appears on in-game billboard advertisements.[34] The game shares technology with that of Guerrilla, another Volition-developed game and so certain elements of the environment are fully destructible.[17] A number of Easter eggs are placed within the sandbox, including the pop-out Easter Bunny which won "Top Easter Egg of 2008".[55] Respect systemThe Respect system is a scoring system where the player earns Respect points to unlock missions and progress through the storyline. The player can partake in storyline and stronghold missions only after filling up at least one bar of Respect, and Respect points are removed when the player starts a mission. The 'style rank' is a modifier of how much Respect the player can earn; this is increased by purchasing items for the player character. Respect points can be earned in two ways; by progressing through side-missions called Activities and by completing mini-games and stunts called Diversions.[14] There are a broad range of Activities and Diversions available for the player to progress through. Many of the game's Activities made appearance in Saints Row and a variety of new Activities have also been introduced in the game.[15] Examples include an underground fight club, a parody of the Cops television show known as FUZZ and numerous others.[31][59] Each Activity can be initiated from various locations and plays out over six levels of increasing difficulty. The Activities have been designed to suit solo and co-operative play.[60] Most Diversions do not have specific start points. There are numerous Diversions playable in the game, such as acts of indecent exposure, combat and driving stunts, car surfing and a survival horror minigame called Zombie Uprising.[4][59][63][64] MultiplayerSaints Row 2 has various multiplayer components implemented throughout the game. Through an online network or through System Linking, the player can progress through the game with a cooperative partner.[65][66] While in co-op mode, both players can explore the city and progress through the game's storyline missions and minigames.[66][68][69] Both players are rewarded and credited for completion of such activities,[66][71] and the players can furthermore play against each other in competitive metagames.[72][73][74] The co-op mode is "drop-in/drop-out" and there is no limit as to how far the players can be away from each other.[18][66][77]The game contains competitive multiplayer modes, supporting between four and twelve players in a match.[78][79] There are two standard deathmatch modes; the free-for-all "Gangsta Brawl" mode and its team-based variant, "Team Gangsta Brawl".[80] Another mode, known as "Strong Arm", puts two teams against each other fighting for control over the neighborhood.[68][82] In "Strong Arm", the first team to earn $100,000,000 dollars wins and money is earned by competing head-to-head in activities, controlling "tag spots" which serve as bonus modifiers or by eliminating members of the opposing team.[83] While in a party, players are free to roam around a lobby.[80][85] The player can rank up in multiplayer and displays this by earning various "badges" which are displayed next to the player's name.[85][87] By ranking up, the player can unlock more expensive clothing for their multiplayer character.{{Citation needed|date=August 2014}} The multiplayer mode on PC and PlayStation 3 was discontinued in May 2014 when GameSpy's servers were shut down.[88] However, the PC version's multiplayer can still be played via LAN tunneling software such as Evolve or Tunngle and the PS3 version's multiplayer can still be played using XLink Kai. The Xbox 360 versions of the game were unaffected as they use Xbox Live for matchmaking.[2] SynopsisSettingIt has been five years since the events of the original Saints Row. Following the sudden disappearance of founder Julius, the 3rd Street Saints fell apart. In its place, three new gangs divide up Stilwater: the Brotherhood, an outlaw gang specializing in arms trafficking, the Ronin, a Japanese bosozoku gang that runs a network of casinos, porn distribution rings and strip clubs, and the Sons of Samedi, a Haitian voodoo gang that supplies most of the city's drugs. Johnny Gat, Julius's former chief lieutenant, is charged with 387 counts of murder and faces the death penalty. His girlfriend Aisha, despite having been forced to fake her death in the previous game, has become a record producer in her own right. After the events of the first game, the Ultor Corporation has taken over the old Saints Row district and converted it into their own personal financial fiefdom. The other remaining Saints have abandoned the gang; Dex is now a security consultant for Ultor, and Troy, who was responsible for gang's downfall, has been named the new Chief of Police. PlotFive years after the explosion on Alderman Richard Hughes' yacht, the player, who fell into a coma, awakens in Stilwater's maximum security prison after undergoing extensive plastic surgery. Carlos Mendoza, the brother of a former Saint, infiltrates the infirmary and helps the player escape. Carlos then informs the player about the demise of the 3rd Street Saints; Julius went missing, Troy Bradshaw became the Chief of Police, and the remaining Saints members were either killed or jailed. Arriving at a bar, the player discovers that Johnny Gat has been sentenced to death for 387 murders, and breaks into the courtroom to rescue him. The two then begin to revive the Saints, using the old church now turned tourist trap as their new headquarters and soon recruiting high-ranking lieutenants in Carlos, Pierce Washington and Shaundi. The player then becomes the new leader of the Saints, being referred to as "the Boss". Maero, the leader of the Brotherhood, calls a meeting with Carlos and the Boss. Aware that the Saints have very little influence left, he offers to give them 20% of Stilwater while the Brotherhood get 80%. An insulted Boss refuses and declares war on the Brotherhood. The Boss blows up several Brotherhood trucks and burns Maero with toxic waste. As revenge, the Brotherhood kidnap and critically injure Carlos by dragging him through the streets tied to a moving vehicle, forcing the Boss to mercy kill him. The Boss then abducts Maero's girlfriend Jessica and locks her in the trunk of a car for Maero to unknowingly crush her to death during a Brotherhood demolition derby. With most of his remaining allies imprisoned, Maero forces Ultor CEO Dane Vogel to pressure Bradshaw into releasing them. However, the Boss kills them before they reach their destination. Vogel then orders a Brotherhood weapons shipment to be confiscated, only for the Boss to steal it first. The Saints use these weapons to lay waste to the Brotherhood at the dockside headquarters. Matt, Maero's tattoo artist, helps Maero escape before being killed. Maero then calls the Boss to the Ultor Dome for one last confrontation, where he and his surviving thugs plan to kill the Boss in a demolition derby. The Boss overcomes Maero's forces before executing him, putting an end to the Brotherhood. Working alongside Shaundi, the Boss moves to take down The Sons of Samedi by killing their dealers and destroying their drug products. DJ Veteran Child, Shaundi's ex-boyfriend and Samedi lieutenant, kidnaps and brings her to his club, where the Boss confronts and kills him. The Samedi leader, the General, arranges for the Boss to be drugged while his men assault the Saints. Despite being severely intoxicated, the Boss rallies the Saints into fighting off the attackers. Mr. Sunshine, the creator of the gang's drug, is killed by the Boss whilst attempting to defend his manufacturing plant. Unable to locate the General, Shaundi and the Boss pose as repair workers and hack the police station's street surveillance cameras to find him. Finally, the Saints organize an ambush of the General's motorcade, where the Boss eventually kills the General at the Stilwater Mall. To get the Ronin's attention, Pierce, Gat, and the Boss rob their most profitable casino. Fearing disgrace from his father Kazuo, Ronin leader Shogo Akuji orders his enforcer Jyunichi to capture Aisha and lure Gat into a trap, which results in Aisha being decapitated and Gat being severely wounded after losing a katana duel with Jyunichi. After rushing Johnny to the hospital and killing Jyunichi in a duel at a restaurant, the Boss receives the location of the Ronin's headquarters from Vogel, who was angered by Kazuo cutting all ties with Ultor. As a last-ditch effort, Shogo ambushes the Boss and Gat at Aisha's funeral, which results in Gat burying him alive. Kazuo, after surviving an attempt on his life at Wardill Airport, orders a direct attack on the Saints, but fails. He then lures the Saints out by attacking Mr. Wong, an old ally of the Boss, at his heritage festival. After rescuing Mr. Wong, the Boss beats Kazuo in a sword fight and leaves him to die on a burning boat. Meanwhile, an increasingly power-hungry Vogel plans to destroy the Saints to expand Ultor's control over Stilwater. The Boss foils his attempt to kill the Saints' leadership and responds by destroying a high-security Ultor lab. The company's board of directors try to rein in Vogel, resulting in Vogel sending them to their deaths against the Boss and allowing Vogel to become Ultor chairman. Vogel hosts a press conference to denounce the Saints, but is forced to retreat when Gat and the Boss open fire on the conference. Destroying the building's defenses, the Boss enters and confronts Vogel. Vogel attempts to decieve the Boss and make a truce with them, but is shot by the Boss and sent plummeting to his death in the streets below. The Boss also has the option of visiting Stilwater Police Headquarters and listening to three wiretap conversations recorded under Bradshaw's authority. According to the recordings, Julius was responsible for planting the bomb on Hughes' yacht that nearly killed the Boss, believing that doing so would allow him to disband the Saints and retire. The Boss contacts Dex, who offers them to meet them at the Saints' old base about turning over Julius. However, Julius appears instead and he and the Boss are ambushed by a group sent by Dex on behalf of Ultor. After the Boss and Julius escape the ambush, the Boss shoots Julius in an abandoned amphitheater. Julius explains that the Saints became no better than the gangs that they had been fighting against and that the Boss would have died if not for him saving them. Still not forgiving him for his betrayal, the Boss ultimately executes Julius with a headshot. DevelopmentVolition began work on Saints Row 2 in 2005, about a year before Saints Row was released.[46][48] The sequel was first announced by THQ's CEO Brian Farrell in a February 2007 conference call, alongside another six franchise continuations for the 2008 fiscal year.[92] Game details began to surface in May 2008 after the first teaser trailer was released and sites like IGN and GameSpot reported on an early version of the game.[93]One of the development team's core goals was to develop an identity for the Saints Row franchise within the open world genre.[7] The series was known as a "Grand Theft Auto clone" based on its first release's similarities to the open world sandbox game Grand Theft Auto III.[95] Accordingly, Saints Row 2 was compared to the Grand Theft Auto series' own upcoming sequel, Grand Theft Auto IV.[96][97] When questioned about the two sequels' close release dates, lead producer Greg Donovan responded that they thought their game could compete, that he saw the Grand Theft Auto sequel moving "in a more realistic direction",[98] and that there was "room for more than just one game" in the open world genre as "a very different experience than what ... other games are looking to do".[13] The team took an "over-the-top" design approach, with cartoonish pastiche and "wild and outrageous" gameplay.[11] Many early game elements were considered too crass to be included in the final release.[11] Many of the original Saints Row developers continued onto the sequel's team. Thus, the team worked from their lessons learned rather than starting anew. The two games were consequently similar in design.[10] They overhauled the game engine to enhance the sequel's graphics,[8] and added contrast and higher-quality textures to make the city setting of Stilwater more realistic.[34] Visual enhancements were also applied to people, cars, explosions, lighting, shadows, and the weather system.[8][34] A central design goal was to "create a world that exists independent of the player" that featured more realistic non-player characters (NPCs)[107] that would smoke cigarettes, use cellphones, drink coffee, open umbrellas when it rained, and physically interact. The original game's engine could not support proximity NPC interaction like sitting together or cuddling.[108] As the city design finalized late in development, the team laboriously hand-placed 20,000 nodes throughout the game world that trigger NPC actions.[108] The Saints Row series narrative was conceived as a three-part story, with Saints Row 2 as the second of the three.[110] While the developers continued the story of the original game, they sought to accommodate newcomers to the series.[46] The final script had roughly 80,000 lines of dialogue, twice that of Saints Row While the first game was released as an Xbox 360 exclusive, Volition expanded the sequel's initial development to the PlayStation 3 platform.[3] The platform was successful in Europe, where Volition wished to expand. The port was developed in-house by a team that previously worked on Xbox 360 development. They struggled with the PlayStation 3's Cell architecture.[123] The game was particularly unstable during development, and would crash after several hours of play.[7] Lead producer Greg Donovan blamed their "failing to take systems and features to completion" as programmers fought last-minute bugs, artists lacked time to finalize designs, and consequently, playtest versions were not ready until late in the development cycle.[7] Soundtrack and audioThe game's soundtrack features about 170 licensed tracks accessible across twelve in-game radio stations while driving or at home. Station genres include alternative rock, reggae, hip hop, heavy metal, funk, R&B and 1980s pop, with artists such as Opeth, Duran Duran, Lamb of God, The Used, My Chemical Romance, Avenged Sevenfold, Paramore, Panic! at the Disco and Run-D.M.C.[126][127] The player can create a custom playlist of the licensed tracks to play on a separate station.[127] Lead audio designer Frank Petreikis's budget for licensed music was double that of the previous game so as to secure more prominent tracks.[129] Volition extended the game's over-the-top atmosphere and humor into the radio stations via commercials.[10] For example, commercials that promoted Ultor Corporation products served to enhance the player's sense of the corporation's omnipresence in Stilwater.[131] The radio commercials were recorded with voice actors in the same room, rather than apart, so as to maximize their group dynamism.[131] Many of the in-game commercials went through several drafts and the developers found this writing process to be challenging.[131] MarketingPrior to its release, Saints Row 2 was heavily marketed and promoted through Internet and television trailers. Volition also ran several fat contests with series-related paraphernalia as prizes. The game's original release date was delayed for marketing considerations.[134] The game's first trailer, in March 2008, was presented as a tourism promotion about the Ultor Corporation's role in rebuilding Stilwater.[135] A full marketing campaign featuring American film actor Gary Busey began the next month.[136][137] The Street Lessons with Uncle Gary video series demonstrated particular aspects of gameplay.[138][139][140][141][142][143][144] Subsequent trailers over the next several months also highlighted gameplay elements,[145][146][147][148] but one made light of Grand Theft Auto IV Promotional contests throughout mid-2008 included "Pimp Your Crib"[154] and "Summer of Bling".[155][156] Another competition from THQ and WorthPlaying gave the winner a trip to a San Francisco Saints Row 2 multiplayer event and published their thoughts online.[157][158] British fashion label Joystick Junkies ran a T-shirt design competition in September 2008, and the top entry was featured in the game's first downloadable content pack.[159][160] Another round of "Summer of Bling" awarded the shirts as prizes.[161][162] The "Trick Your Pack" tool launched in September let the player create their own game box art.[163][164] There were also other promotions and give-aways.[165][166] At conventions, Saints Row 2 appeared at the 2008 E3, THQ Gamer's Day, Comic Con,[167] PAX, GameStop Expo,[168] and Leipzig Games Conventions. The game also promoted itself in the Myspace Music Tour[169] and November 2008, an Australian fundraiser for men's health.[170] In November, THQ signed a deal with Massive Incorporated to include in-game advertisements on their Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 products.[171] In-game and online, players can also find movie posters throughout the city that promote upcoming releases.[172] ReleaseThe game was originally scheduled for release in North America on August 26, 2008,[173] but was delayed to October 14[5][175] both to add final touches and to launch in a more advantageous release window.[134] The game released in three different "Collectors Editions", each with a copy of the game, a poster, a limited edition art book, and several extras. The Saints Row 2 "Initiation Pack", exclusive to Australia and New Zealand, included promotional items such as a pizza box and bullet-shaped USB memory stick.[177] The Russia-exclusive "Gift - Buka Edition" also included the bullet-shaped USB stick,[178] and the "Gun Pack" included a gun-shaped USB stick.[179][180] A month before the game's release, Saints Row 2 producer Dan Sutton stated in an interview that they "definitely" planned to make downloadable content.[3] Microsoft Windows releaseIn June 2008, THQ confirmed that a Microsoft Windows port of the game was in development,[2][183] but it was delayed past the October release date into January. The Windows version includes keyboard and mouse support and the ability to change display settings. It was released in North America on January 5, 2009,[184] in Europe on January 23, and in Australia on February 5.[185] Linux releaseIn April 2016, Volition released a Linux port of the game.[4] Downloadable contentSaints Row 2 received several downloadable content (DLC) releases, including two episodic expansion packs: Ultor Exposed and Corporate Warfare. Ultor Exposed adds character customization[187] and vehicle options, including Guerrilla-themed content.[188] The Saints attempt to destroy Ultor and they get help from an Ultor worker, Tera, to expose Ultor's darker side. It also adds multiplayer content,[5] including four online multiplayer maps[187] and a cooperative mode metagame[5] wherein players compete for a cash bonus during story missions by accumulating points from special kill bonuses and property damage.[192] The pack's missions feature American pornographic actress Tera Patrick,[5] who plays a whistleblower and former microbiologist for the Ultor Corporation.[194] Originally slated for release on April 16, 2009,[6] the pack was delayed a week to April 23 so it could be released alongside the demo for Volition-developed game Red Faction: Guerrilla.[196][197] It was released on April 23, 2009.[7][8] IGN praised the game's new co-op metagame but criticized its relatively short missions.[200] Eurogamer gave a negative review and criticized its value proposition.[201]Corporate Warfare focuses on the struggle between the 3rd Street Saints and the Ultor Corporation.[202] The pack adds character costume,[203][204][205] facial hair,[205][207] and vehicle options.[187][202][203] It also includes three multiplayer maps[205] and another cooperative mode metagame wherein players compete in ranking by performing vehicle stunts.[205] Corporate Warfare was released via digital download on May 28, 2009.[213]Reception{{Video game reviews | width=29em| title = Saints Row 2 reviews| GR = (PS3) 83% (44 reviews)[214] (X360) 83% (66 reviews)[215] (PC) 71% (11 reviews)[216] | MC = PC: 72/100[217] PS3: 82/100[218] X360: 81/100[219] | 1UP = B[220] | Edge = 5/10[221] | EuroG = 9/10[222] | GI = 8.75/10[223] | GSpot = 8/10[224] | GSpy = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[225] | IGN = (US) 8.2/10[226] (AU) 8/10[227] (UK) 7.5/10[228] | OXM = 9/10[229] }} The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 releases of the game received "generally favorable" reviews, according to video game review score aggregator Metacritic, and the Windows release received "mixed or average" reviews.[218][219] Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw of The Escapist{{'s}} Zero Punctuation named Saints Row 2 his 2008 game of the year.[232][233] It was a runner up for GameShark's overall and Xbox 360 games of the year.[234][235] Game Developer named Volition in their top 50 developers of the year for their work on the game,[236] and THQ in their top 20 publishers.[237]The console version of Saints Row 2 garnered generally positive reviews. The PC version was relatively less well received due to frame rate issues and visual pop-in. 1UP.com gave the game a B, stating that it "relishes the hedonistic aspects of the open-world genre", that it has "plenty of innovation" and that the "excellence in the presentation makes the world of Saints [Row] 2 a great introduction for newcomers to open world games".[220] Eurogamer gave the game a 9/10, stating that it "is one of the most ridiculous and enjoyable games of the year".[222] Game Informer gave the game an 8.75/10, stating that "in its own silly, b-movie way, it's a damn fun game" and a "profately good time".[223] GameSpot gave the game an 8.0/10, stating that "from beginning to end, this is one of the most fun urban chaos games out there" and that it will "keep you happily creating havoc for a long time".[224] GameSpy gave the game four and a half stars out of five, stating that it "offers up a shooting and driving experience that is plenty of fun" and that it is "self-consciously funny in its irreverence" and "will definitely appeal to much of its audience".[225]IGN U.S. gave the game an 8.2/10, stating that "the core gameplay experience is extremely enjoyable".[226] IGN AU gave the game an 8/10, stating that it is "big, dumb fun".[227] IGN UK gave the game a 7.5/10, stating that it "demonstrates that there is still plenty of mileage to be eked out of open-world games" and that "there's certainly enough here to keep any fans of sandbox violence entertained".[228]Among positive acclaim, some publishers gave the game generally negative reviews. UK magazine Edge gave the game a 5/10, stating that "few of the game's details will stick in your mind for long, and its pranky focus means it rarely gives you anything interesting to do with the toys on offer".[246] Entertainment Weekly flagged the game as "racist, misogynistic, crude, cynical, humorless and stupid" and labelled it the worst game of 2008,[247] despite previously giving the game a B and calling it "a larcenous good time".[248]The game did not gain a favourable response from New York City officials and police.
