I will always refer to Saints row as.. "All the fun and awesome stuff they took out of GTA4 to make it a "serious game" If i wanted to play as a whiny immigrant i'd play GTA4.. (and i don't care at all about the online, thats never what GTA has been about) I had been a huge fan of 3, VC and SA and played the hell out of them.. GTA4 was not fun, and the story was terrible and boring, not to mention the monotony of the whole relationship thing they crow barred into it. Saints Row was infinitely more fun than GTA, and i'm really looking forward to the SR3 this fall.

well both are entirely different kind of games, you cant compare them since they are open world sandbox games. I played both saints row 2 and GTA4 and i enjoyed both in a different way

Pros of GTA4

1. Great graphics during its time

2. More associated to reality of life and you get attached to characters like niko

3. Great story and immersion levels like going to an internet cafe, catching a cab, dating women

4.I thought GTA 4 was a masterpiece except that it was a bit short and you dont have much side missions like the previous GTA games.

Pros of Saints row 2

1. Extremely fun to play especially if you do the story missions co-op with an online player driving to your destination and helping you complete missions:)2.Weak story and great levels of customisation to the character and all in all both are great games

GTA IV for me. Saints Row 2 was great, but it lacked the polish and while messing around was much more fun, it lacked the living, breathing atmosphere of IV as well as the great story and polished mechanics. Don't get me wrong, I liked SR2's story, but it doesn't hold a candle to GTA IV's, and the shooting and driving was much less refined.

yeah , ididnt even bother to finish GTA4 cause it just sucked , speaking as a fan of the series since GTA1 and i like all games before GTA4 , saints row 2 was brillliant even with worse graphics , over the top violence , fun activities , customization etc. which one would expect from a GTA game , seems that SR is now what GTA used to be imo

Grand Theft Auto IV. I did like "some" of Saints Row 2 in regards to the customization and the rival gangs spiced things up. Looking forward to the Grand Theft Auto V or Saints Row 3 threads:)

GTA IV, there are a lot of fun moments in Saints Row 2, but as a whole, it's GTA IV. There's a reason it's still in the top 5 online games 3 and a half years later.

Didn't really like either, but I'd probably go with GTA 4.

Saints Row is for people who pick up GTA to just drive around and run over pedestrians.
