I loved GTA IV and have people saying Saints Row 2 is not as good as GTA IV. Would Saints Row 2 be enjoyable ?

I prefer the seriousness of GTA IV over Saints Row 2. SR2 is fun but don't get the PC version, its horrible optimized and the patches don't really help.

I've heard that the PC version is really badly optimized so I'd probably give it a miss. I played both GTA4 and SR2 on my X360 and actually found that I liked SR2 more than GTA4, it's just more about chaos, carnage and causing havok, which is what I enjoy in that type of game...

Saints Row 2 is what we all wanted GTA4 to be, before the hype machine brainwashed most people. Game rules.

Not for pretentious people though, only for those that understand that gameplay is what really matters.

althrough I have to say SR2 is a lot more brutal than I expected it to be, not in the "zomg gore sense" but the "wtf did my character just do O.o"

especialy the scene where ! SPOILER WARNING !

your character looks that girl in the trunk of the car only to be run over by her own boyfriend in a monstertruck

I mean jusus christ, that's some psychopatic **** going down, probably the bigest W T F moment in SR2, but hell I love it, your character is nothing more than a psychopatic gangster that wants to murder everything :D

I have both and SR2 is horribly optimized, even more so than GTAIV.

Don't bother with it, get it for the 360 instead if you have one. Buy a better game for your PC. ;)

If you like un-drivable cars then this is the game for you.

Also this game is horribly optimized, I get same FPS as on GTA 4, but at same time GTA 4 has better graphics.

contrary to most GTA fans opinions, Saint's Row 2 goes off in a completely different direction so it is possible to like both games for what they do. GTA IV is pretty much a more serious SP games that is big on graphics, physics and story. Saint's Row 2 is a SANDBOX game to the utmost extent. there are ton of things to do, a ton of customization and I know on the 360 version there is full co-op meaning you can do anything you see in the game with a friend. Now it sucks that the PC version, I'm told, has terrible frame rate problems because the game shouldn't be missed if you just want to pick up a crime sim and have fun doing almost anything. I laughed when someone said Rockstar has brainwashed people because I believe they have. The new DLC for GTA IV has full frontal male nudity and people are all like "Wow, Rockstar are God's to push the envelope of what can be seen in a game..." and i'm thinking they just all subjected us to a polygonal nutsack and that makes people happy?

The cars are very sensitive, but that's great when you drive fast.

And there's no reason not to drive fast.

Two or three rapid key taps are enough for taking a curve. I'm loving this arcade-ish driving model.
