    Oh God, finally. Hahah. I like the guy but I find the super fast talking thing too much to handle most times.

    Damn, I was sort of hoping he'd review Fable 2, seeing as it was review of the original that helped him land a job at The Escapist.

    Video is down.

    He and AVGN both are exclusive to sites with bad video players. Gametrailers' is horrible.

    Edit...so it's up again, and I couldn't agree more. Fun that's all it is, and that's awesome.

        He means the video player sucks I think. Which I agree, for some reason both that and a few others lags.

          Yup, that'd be the reason. It also loads very slowly. In comparison to almost every other video player I've seen. Granted, my connection isn't great.

          I think it's the GT site itself. I'm on a broadband connection and GT trailers still take a while to load and sometimes lag.

    Who cares about the NYPD Scrutiny. If anything it'll give the game more spotlight like GTA games.

    Wow Zero Punctuation for the most part actually enjoyed and respects the title. Compared to his previous reviews, he definately pushes positivity in his comments. Hardly says a bad thing!

      Well the game isn't bad its very fun. The only issue i've heard and sometimes experience is more glitches then I expected. And some of them are really bad which people expressed in the PS3 section forum.

        It was really good, I couldn't finish it though. There was a glitch that wouldn't allow me to start a mission towards the end of the game.

        Even that doesn't make it a bad game in my book though, it really is that good.

    This was probably more of a GTA4 review then a SR2 one :l

    Thanks for posting these Escapist vids. I check GG more than their site, and it's totally convenient to see which game they've done each week.

        I know, I'm just commenting on the convenience of being able to see which game he reviewed by checking GG instead of their site.

    Excellent, I love his reviews.

    It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that he gave the game a postive review. The game is quite awesome.

    I'm quite suprised that Yahtzee actually gave a nice review for once. He is right though, Saints Row 2 does everything that GTA IV should have done hence making it conquer over GTA IV and possibly now Saints Row 3 may even conquer the next GTA game.

      He gave Portal a prefect review, I believe, and he called himself on it too.

    lol.

    Did anyone else notice that Yahtzee stole the 360 Saints Row box art from Neoseeker ?

    3:36 - You can clearly see the logo in the bottom right hand corner.
