GTA IV or Saint's Row 2, which do you prefer now?

I Was wondering what people who have played both games prefer nowadays. At first, I thought SR2 blew GTA IV away with all the crazy stuff you can do. There was a ton of content, customization, weapons, etc. But after starting a new game of GTA IV a few days ago, I'm really starting to appreciate it again for how awesome of a game it is. The story, cover system, euphoria system, graphics, physics, driving, and realistic qualities are vastly superior.

I guess after playing both and giving them both time, I guess GTA IV would win out for me. I really liked Saint's Row 2, but after you get past the craziness of some of the missions, the glaring flaws reveal themselves in spades. GTA IV might not be as crazy as SR2, but the world is so much more alive and vibrant. While I still like both games very much for both of their unique qualities, I must say that GTA IV beats SR2.

What one do you appreciate more now (preferably people who have played both)?

I found saints row to be suprisingly good considering all the hype that GTA gets whenever they bring a new one out. Ok so Saints row it a bit gangtsa happy, but small things like customizing your characters, health regeneration (which wins the vote for me), able to see police on your map so as to avoid when being chased, and the humor just stands out a bit from GTA.

Don't get me wrong i have the whole GTA collection and loved every one of them, but saints row changed my point of view, GTA has much better graphics and the like, and if it had those things i mention above it would no doubt win it for me!

If saints row had GTA's graphics and the reality, it would be a fantastic game!

I wish GTAIV had co-op..

I like them both equally, though.

I do prefer Saints Row 2. Better soundtrack, can costumize character, and more hardcore stories (good acting too!). GTAIV es better in graphics, though.

Campaign co-op, I mean, not co-op missions.

I've played those over and over.

GTA4 was way too big with not enough going on and SR2 got old fastJonyappleseed

lol, Sounds like someone is hard to please.

While I think Saints Row 2 is a very fun game filled with crazy "lol" moments, it's no GTA IV.

GTA IV, in my opinion, is the undisputed king of the genre. It's got it all: the best city, the most detail, the best characters, voice actors, story, animation, physics, graphics...everything. Sure, some hated the fact that GTA went "realistic", but I just don't see how.

Rockstar made a masterpiece with GTA IV, and it's sad that some can't take the time to truly appreciate what Rockstar accomplished. Even if you don't care for the game all that much, being able to appreciate what Rockstar accomplished shouldn't be hard.

Saints Row 2 is a great time. There's a lot of fun stuff to do, and I really do have a ton of fun when I play it. That being said, GTA IV is king in my book.
