Appropriate?
Question: Do you think I should be allowed to play saints row 2 at age 14? My mom only dislikes how it's gangster related

I play this game and it doesn't encourage me to kill police officers to advance the plot except for the prison escape mission. You don't even need to kill cops. I go through most missions involving cops except for the jailbreak mission without killing a single cop. They aren't much of a concern and the game provides no bonus for killing "clean" cops. I say it like that because most cops are in the pocket of a major company, but most are just people trying to get their shift over so they can go home.

killing gangs is the main encouragement..
this game itself is sick, and the creators should be ashamed. But there are some advantages to the game.. If you are a moral person, you basically can have the perspective of "cleaning the city of gangs". Cop and pedestrian killing is there, and it gives you respect, but though it seems encouraged, its really not. this game is not for kids AT ALL or, in my opinion, for anyone who thoroughly enjoys seeing innocents get killed in sadistic ways, as in people who laugh while it happens.. I play the game more for the gang killing..

good for 9 and up
this is the best game in the world its not so bad the only bad thing is is that this guy gets shanked just to break you out of jail.And then you have to play the level that you break out of jail so it might teach your kids some things......

good for mature kids 10 or 11 +
a good game. very fun. my son rented this and i watched himm play it a little bit and it acually wasnt that bad. he hasnt changed a bit since he rented it and hes still pretty mature. the worst thing in the game is the language because they say the Fbomb about 300+ times throughout the whole game. but the sex in it is accually pretty tame other than the prostisutes everywhere and the simulating sex part. the violence is also pretty bad but if your kid is at least 10 and up and is very mature and can distingwish fantasy from reality and wants this game you should let him get it.

ok for some responsible teens
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! there is a lot of swearing a bit to much. you can shoot cops, innocent people and hos. The blood pools around bodys, and when you shoot someone you see a spray of blood. there is a lot of sexual themes too, you can go in to strip clubs where women are wearing thongs and very skimpy clothes, and there is a sex mini game where you use the analog sticks to do different positions, and you hear groaning but you do not see anything but a door, and there is escort where you take a stripper and a man an they do "it" in the back of the car and you have to drive away from the media. and you can streak it is blury but you can make it out, and it goes into a mini game where you run around people and they chase you. this is a good game for 16 and up.

lots of swearing and violence and sex related themes
i got this game wen i was 12 and its really fun and stuff but its pretty bad, unlike what all thses other people are saying, the whole game revolves around drugs and prostitutes and gang violence, and the language is all over the place, the mostly use F-ck and Sh-t but thats not even close to all, they use all types of sexual remarks and terms and stuff, and the radio is the bad too because they say the N- word on there, quite often too. but overall this is a really fun game and i think some one 14 and over, maybe 13 if there mature enough and can tell the difference between reality and videogames and what is acceptable a what isnt.

This game is very fun. When I first got this game I thought it was going to be awful and not to fun because of the graphics. This game is very fun but not even close to being good for children. There is way to much drinking and killing. Also, there are strip bars.

Not Suitable for younger kids
Saints Row 2 is a game much like Grand Theft Auto. Your character is a customizble gangster. You start by breaking out of prison, so right of the bat your killing cops. Through out the game you fight with other gangs and the police. You can pretty much kill anyone you want with a variety of weapons, including a machette. katana, and a chainsaw. The blood on this game is not overdone and does not spray on walls, it only collects under dead bodies. Language is very bad in this game, you frequently hear S--T and D--m with the ocassional F--k thrown into the mix. You also fight a jappenese gang and they swear in jappennses. Sex is a major factor in this game as well, players can put Pole's into their houses and vist strip clubs were there are many Pole dancers and lap dancers. There is also a minigame were the player must pleasure a women, it is measured by a meter and the controller must be moved in a likeness to the actuall motion. Players also must be security for drug dealers and consume alot of alochoal themselves. The overall messeage of this game is do whatever you want and get away with it. This game is not suitable for young audieces.

Crude and violent Free World Gangster game is dissapointing
Saints Row 2 is a fairly well made game, and it makes several improvements over the original game. But, still, it suffers from several big problems: Unfortunately, for a game made in 2008, that graphics are less than impressive, the free world environment gets much more boring much quicker than in other games of its type (primarily Grand Theft Auto and maybe even the incredibly underrated Mafia 2), and finally, it just isn't as fun or as creative as the Grand theft Auto series, either. But, despite all of this, it is still a decent enough game, and it still amounts to a fair amount of entertainment for the gamer. But, this game is Rated M, as it most certainly should be: There is lot's and lot's of strong profanity throughout the game with around 150 F-words and its derivatives (all though surprisingly, it feels less infrequent than the first game), lot's of strong bloody violence where as your character can brutally shoot anyone that you please, with bloody and occasionally very gory results. Also, drugs are used, discussed and sold heavily during the course of the game, and, finally, there is infrequent but strong sexuality with many crude sexual jokes. Well, I liked it, but it could have been much better, even if it was already much better than the first game.
