Unused Graphics

Crib Savefile Images

There are two unused savefile images for scrapped Cribs. Both of them interestingly have the HUD design and some of the graphical style from the previous game, which could indicate that it was taken from early in development.

The first is the Barrio Hacienda Crib, which where Los Carnales Snatch activity originally took place in the previous game, complete with an interior that is only seen in a cutscene. In the final game, it is the El Hoyo Motel and no such interior exists for it.

The second one is what seems to resemble the yacht seen in the mission Salting The Earth..Again. It's docked at an early version of Centennial Beach, which almost looks exactly like the location in the final game, except with a different-looking boat dock and a simpler tile texture for the yacht dock. In the background, an early version of the Amberbrook museum can be spotted, without some of the ruins present.

Unused Unlock Screen Icons

There are three different unused unlock screens which have three different Gang Styles, which are Cowboys, College Team, and Crossdressers. They don't have any unused data for it in the final game.

Radio Stations

There exists three unused radio station icons for the pause menu, with two of them featured in the previous game. Sizzurp 101.69 and 108.0 WMD KBOOM FM were likely going to make a return, but RFS 87.6 (which was originally cut from Saints Row) was completely scrapped.

Strangely enough, the logos all of the scrapped stations are actually used as clothing designs, even though their graphics are different.

Unused Ultor Notoriety Icon

There's an unused Notoriety icon for the Ultor Corporation. The regular Police Notoriety is used instead, no matter if any Ultor-related vehicles or Masako get destroyed.

Hidden Details

Flight Manifest

The flight manifest that is seen at the cutscene at the beginning of Orange Threat Level is mostly seen, but there's some hidden text at the bottom-left corner.

Unused Mission Objective

In the mission Room Service, there exists a cut objective where the player must visit the arms dealer at Sunnyvale Gardens before heading to the hotel, complete with unused dialogue. It can be failed if the dealer gets killed in any way.

Strangely, the dealer can actually be recruited as a Homie, though it uses the placeholder icon of a female caucasian gang member. The voice line also sounds quieter than the other voices in the game, meaning it was probably placeholder dialogue.

It was unknown why the objective was cut.

Regional Differences

Strangely, the Linux port of the game isn't available to German players due to 'issues with the source code'.

German version Changes

The German version of Saints Row 2 had to be censored to fit with a USK 18 Rating, leading to a lot more changes that were present in the previous game. Any obtainable rewards associated with the removed features are completely unobtainable.

• Several cutscenes have been censored by a black screen with a message that translates to 'We're sorry - very bad things happen behind this black screen!', but the audio can still be heard and the subtitles can still be seen.
• There are only 42 Xbox 360 achievements that can be earned, compared to 50.
• A total of four activities have been removed, which are Mayhem, FUZZ, Trail Blazing and Crowd Control.
• Three weapons are unavailable which are the Chainsaw, Flamethrower and the Flashbang.
• Zombie Uprising cannot be played.
• Zombie Carlos cannot be added as a Homie, as attempting to dial the number after the mission Red Asphalt will result in the generic 'wrong number' message. That also leaves the number of unlockable Homes stuck at 8 out of 9, with the latter number forgotten to be changed.
• Pedestrians no longer bleed on the ground when they're dead.
• Human shields have been removed from the game.
• Several Combat Tricks have been removed such as Head Shot, Multi Kill, Nut Shot, One-hit Kill, Slice 'N Dice, Taunt and Throwing. though, only one Driving Stunt was removed which was Roadkill.

Japanese version Changes

• Human shields have been removed from the game, just like the German version.
  • This makes the mission Bank Error in Your Favor play differently; Jessica is recruited as a temporary Homie rather than being used as a human shield to open up the safe.
• The cutscene where Mr. Sunshine gets beheaded was cut to the protagonist chopping his head due to CERO rating legislations.
