It is the second title in the Saints Row series, after the release of Saints Row in 2006. It is succeeded by Saints Row: The Third, released on 15 November 2011. It was released in North America, Australia and Europe in October 2008 for video game consoles and ported to Windows in January 2009.

Three downloadable content packages were developed for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360; Ultor Exposed, Corporate Warfare, and The Unkut Pack.
Set in the fictional city of Stilwater, players control the same nameless protagonist, who has survived the yacht explosion from the first game, and leads the Third Street Saints gang. Assisted by the gang, the protagonist seeks to eliminate three rival gangs who have formed during the five-year period between Saints Row and Saints Row 2. The game is presented as an action-adventure in an open world with driving sequences, featuring online co-operative play and competitive multiplayer in addition to the single player campaign.Saints Row 2 takes place a few years after the original. Several new upstart gangs have been able to sweep in and make their mark on Stilwater. At the same time, a multi-national conglomerate known as the Ultor Corporation has become a pivotal player in city politics, pumping millions of dollars into rebuilding the metropolis.The initial release versions of Saints Row 2 were met with general approval. The Windows port was met with more mixed reviews. Praise was directed at the game's fast-paced action sequences and nonlinear gameplay; criticisms were directed at technical issues. In its first month of release, the game sold an estimated 400,000 units. It has sold in excess of 3.4 million units as of September 2010.As leader of the Saints, you’ll have to do whatever it takes to protect the members of your gang from new enemies, including the Ultor Corporation and rival gangs.
In the Brotherhood act, the Boss and Carlos meet with Maero, leader of the Brotherhood of Stilwater, in the Underground Caverns. Maero wishes for the Saints to work with the Brotherhood to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, but before things can be discussed, police discover the meeting and the three are forced to shoot their way to safety. Despite working together against the police, the Boss becomes enraged at Maero's offer of a 20/80 split of profits between the Saints and the Brotherhood, resulting in the two gangs going to war. The Boss shakes down Brotherhood mechanic Donnie, a former Westside Roller who use to have a crush on Lin, forcing him to rig several of the gang's trucks with explosives, and also burns Maero's face by poisoning his tattoo ink with radioactive waste. The Brotherhood retaliate by kidnapping and brutally torturing Carlos by dragging him behind a truck, forcing the Boss to euthanize him out of mercy. The Boss exacts revenge by kidnapping Maero's girlfriend Jessica Parish, and arranges for her to be inadvertently killed by Maero in a monster truck rally competition at the local arena. After interrogating and crippling Maero's tattoo artist Matt, leader of the local band called The Feed Dogs at a concert, the Boss begins to uncover information about the large weapons shipment. Maero angrily confronts Dane Vogel, the current CEO of the Ultor Corporation, demanding the release of arrested Brotherhood members, threatening to kill him unless he agrees to. Soon after, Vogel blackmails Troy to let them go. Although freed, the prisoners' buses are intercepted and destroyed by the Saints and Vogel dissolves further ties with the Brotherhood, taking over Maero's shipment as compensation for releasing the incarcerated. The Boss intercepts the shipment and launches an attack on the crippled Brotherhood's hideout. The assault is successful and the Boss kills Matt with a brick, but Maero is saved by his surviving gang members. Maero flees to the Ultor Stadium in a last-ditch attempt to ambush the Saints leader. The Boss survives the ambush and kills the injured Maero with a shot to the head, ending the Brotherhood of Stilwater.
