It turns out that "Playa" survived the blast that ended the first game, but has spent five years in a coma - the game begins just as he (or '''''she''''' -- you can now play a female character) wakes up. Upon busting out of prison and rescuing homie Johnny Gat from the electric chair, he/she discovers that four forces have risen to fill the void in power left by the Saints' disappearance:

 

Alive, pissed, [[Suddenly Voiced|gaining the ability to speak]] (and does s\he ever) and with a thirst for vengeance against those behind the explosive attempt on his/her life, "Playa" becomes "Boss" as he/she rebuilds the Saints from the ground up and embarks on a mission to destroy the other gangs, and eventually become the kingpin of the city.

* [[The Alcatraz]]: Stilwater Penitentiary

** The second DLC, ''Corporate Warfare'', centers around a conflict that pits current Ultor chairman Eric Gryphon against Dexter "Dex" Jackson, your former homie who moved from the Saints to a position as head of security at Ultor.

* [[Fantastic Drug]]: The Sons of Samedi deal Loa Dust. It's made up primarily of high-grade marijuana, but treated with various other chemicals. They never say exactly what the effects are, though it seems to be very popular. During the [[Mushroom Samba]] mission all it does is warp the visuals - similar to what happens to the player when attacked with pepper spray or a flash-bang.

* [[Fragile Speedster]]: The Ronin are partial to fast cars and faster motorcycles...neither of which hold many soldiers and both of which are unusually prone to exploding, even by this game's standards.

* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: Boss speaks in the second game. All the time. S\he even has six different voices to use, which say different funny things during missions, as well as when they get drunk. So play the game once as a [[Dark Action Girl]], then as a [[Spicy Latina]], then a [[Sassy Black Woman]], then an [[Evil Brit]], [[Badass Spaniard]] and [[Scary Black Man]].

** In a more prosaic example, you can find yourself distracted for ''hours'' hunting down and killing all the Hitman targets, or chasing after all the cars on Chop Shop lists. The game really twists the knife as you get bonuses with the first, third and fifth lists you finish, all of which are either incredibly useful or ridiculous. Finish all the Hitman missions and you'll have hand grenades, satchel charges and ''unlimited rifle ammo.''
