Saints Row 2 vs Titan Quest
Saints Row 2
Saints Row 2 , released back in 2009, is gangster-themed open world game that is somewhat similar to what you'll expect in an old Grand Theft Auto game. The game was originally XBox exclusive and due to this, the game may feel a lot like a port... some may even say a poor port at that. However, the game itself is pretty fun to play. There are three main gangs or factions that you'll need to exert your dominance over so that your own gang, the Saints, can thrive. As expected of a gangster-themed game, there are plenty of pretty violent side-missions as well, most of which involve driving into pedestrians, destroying other people's properties, performing a drive-by, spraying excrement on big corporations, and well, wreaking as much havoc as you can in general. However, it's a point to note that the game doesn't have prostitutes that you can hire unlike in GTA, though there are some skimpily-dressed female AIs walking about.In this game, you'll also get to own multiple cribs scattered all around the city of Stilwater, each with their own set of upgrades and customization options. Similarly, your character can be customized down to the last detail too. The best part about this game is the wide variety of fun vehicles you can steal and collect in your garage. There are even helicopters, planes, boats and motorcycles that you can steal.
Despite its rather bad (by today's quality and standards) graphics, Saints Row 2 is a pretty huge game. Only the main missions will take you hours of gameplay, let alone the many side missions, the hours you put in to collect your fleet of cool cars, exploring the city's every nook and cranny, and even finding and getting the items you need to customize your character's looks. If you're into this sort of games, Saints Row 2 is definitely worth the price.
Titan Quest
Titan Quest is an innovative mythological action-RPG that pits you into an epic quest of good vs evil set in the beautifully-designed lands of ancient Greece, Egypt and Asia. In this game, the mighty Titans have escaped their supposely eternal prison to cause unspeakable chaos on the inhabitants of Earth but unfortunately, the Gods aren't able to interfere directly and put a stop to the Titans' rampage. Instead, they searched for a hero who can help save the world - you!With many legendary heroes like Agamemnon and Achilles accompanying you in various legs of your journey, you will need to hone your fighting skills so you can defeat all the enemies that come your way, be it the famed villains and creatures of Greek mythology or even the Titans themselves. You'll also get to completely customize your character from head to toe. Interestingly, aside from its map editor where you can create whole new maps to adventure in, the game even has a multiplayer mode where you can group up with up to six other players for some cooperative gameplay.
Titan Quest is an impressive specimen of a game where you get to play out all the incredible mythlogical and legendary stories you've heard countless times in your youth while being in the shoes of the hero himself! That said, some players have reported having troubles with game-breaking bugs in the Steam version. Thus, if you can experience the game on any other platform, maybe you might want to try those instead.
