PLAY WITH THE "JUICED" MOD FOR ABSOLUTE BEST EXPERIENCE You can find the mod down below, it genuinely fixes everything! Juiced Mod: https://github.com/kobraworksmodding/Saints-Row-2-Juiced-Patch/releases Review - I grew up with this game back in 2009 on my Xbox 360 and have countless memories. I bought this game nearly a decade ago and was discouraged from playing it ever again due to the condition the game was left in. The game is unoptimized to all hell and basic functions didn't work properly. The list of problems are nearly endless, but I heard whispers that a new mod had entered the scene that aimed to recapture that magic it held on the 7th gen consoles. Giving it some thought and after not playing the game for nearly 15 years, I figured it was time to try it out and dive back into the streets of Stilwater. Firing it up and seeing how smoothly everything worked with the Juiced Mod brought a smile to my face that not many games can and I can't thank the modders enough for what they've done here. They made Idol Ninja's efforts truly worth it in the end. It felt like I went back in time and got to experience the game all over again for what felt like the first time. I know it's primarily supposed to be a reveiw on the game, but in all honesty, I really do just want to praise the mod developers. You guys knocked it out of the damn park. Thank you for allowing me to relive a piece of my childhood in a way I never thought would be possible. (The game is really fun still so if you've never tried it, I'd say this is the definitive way now)

GET THE JUICED PATCH!!! This was the closes GTA competitor that the gaming industry ever had. With it's fan and goofy missions, atmospheric open world and character customization this game was ahead of it's time. Too bad they botched the PC port. Thankfully the fans have took the time to fix this gem. RIP Mike Watson

July 2025

Even with a bad pc port that might never receive the official patch it deserves, Saints Row 2 is still an amazing game and is worth playing if you consider yourself a fan of crime open world games. I would highly recommend installing JUICED patch along with a radio fix mod in order to make your game as stable as possible and have the radio stations not being compressed to hell. It's still a bit buggy but it makes the port so much better. RIP Mike Watson,

Without patches the game runs terribly, the Steam version is even worse because the .exe file hasn't been updated like the GoG version. That being said with patches the game runs a lot better and is playable at 60+fps. Download the Juiced patch, Gentleman's of the Row patch, and make sure to get the GoG .exe file and you'll have an absolute blast! The videos linked below have the files and the patches needed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoCWxAdc5gc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c7vg0y8IVw

Install the patches from the Late Dev Mike Watson (Rest In Peace), and this runs much better than the original PC port. Having never played it back in the day, i have to say... This is a solid game, even by today's standard its fun. Installation guide for all required patches. I have several hours of gameplay, no CTD, no performance issues. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2652709959
