Lore & Background

In Saints Row (2006), the city is controlled by three rival gangs: the Vice Kings, Los Carnales, and the Westside Rollerz. The player character joins the 3rd Street Saints to help them take back the Saint's Row district and eventually take over the entire city. In Saints Row 2 (2008), set roughly five years later, the Saints have fallen from grace and three new gangs—the Ronin, the Brotherhood, and the Sons of Samedi—have taken over the Saints' former territories. The Ultor Corporation has also gentrified the Saint's Row district.

Reader's Guide

In Saints Row, players explore Stilwater to complete missions and side activities, weakening enemy gangs by completing main and side missions related to each faction. In Saints Row 2, the player must gain respect by completing side activities before undertaking missions against the Ronin, Brotherhood, Sons of Samedi, and later Ultor.
