Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Unlike many modern open-world games that lean too heavily into realism or comedy, SR2 perfectly blends chaotic fun with a surprisingly grounded and emotional story.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The missions are alright, the story and characters are good for the most part.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also, the game has a pretty banging soundtrack, I cannot believe Minus the Bear is in the game, I love those guys.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Rather than simply fixing bugs, GOTR expands the game with additional customization options, restored content, new activities, weapons, clothing, vehicles, homies, improved visuals, and hundreds of tweaks that enhance replayability while staying true to the spirit of the original game.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Whether you want a serious gang revenge story, ridiculous sandbox chaos, deep character customization, or co-op fun with friends, SR2 still stands above most open-world games released since.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I also have to point out that the character customization was hugely detailed for its time, and even compared to modern games still holds quite well.
