Saints row 2 >>>>>> GTA4????

After i've had a good few hours with saints row 2 I'm already having more fun than I did in GTA4 and it made me realise GTA4s biggest mistake was taking itself too seriously which just took out the fun out of the game

Spraying a house in **** to lower property values is just fun!!!

I agree, i especially enjoy the fight club, zombie uprising. and the custumizing of EVERYTHING in the game even bikes!!

Just a quick question, SR2 comes with a 48hr xbl free trial right from any store?

Not a chance, SR looks like a poor mans GTA, i prefer GTA4's realism and more realistic story telling. SR looks like a tpyical Gang shooting stereotypying, i don't see anything remotly fun, hated the first game. the pyshics are even worse. Eyezonmii

Actually Saints Row is more realistic in terms of gangs. In Saints Row, the gangs are mixed races. GTA 4 doesn't even allow you to take someone hostage and throw them off a balcony onto a car.

Saints Row 2 is a fun game no doubt but it doesn't compare to GTA 4 in my opinion.

It's a jack of all trades and a master of none. What it does, it does decently, but there's always a strange lack of depth in just about everything it does. The gunplay is fun, if lacking in subtlety. Driving from place to place sometimes feels like a chore because I've been spoiled by GTA 4's excellent driving engine and cab service, which will cart you off to any area of the city, instantaneously if you wish. Missions are frenzied and entertaining, but lack that sort of "oomph" and sense of purpose that GTA 4's had.

So. at the end of the day, I like Saints Row 2 but it'll always be an "also ran"next to GTA 4.

i think its better than GTA IV firstly the multiplayer is funner, the campaign in co-op is amazing you can do EVERYTHING with a friend and dressing men in girls clothes is fun aswell lol. overall sr2= Fun funner= better

Poor man's GTA? It's everything GTA used to be and more.

The city looks like a city of cardboard cutouts or the backlot of a Hollywood set, and driving around it is lame..ESPECIALLY when you compare it to GTA IV.I like the game, but no, GTA IV is the better game.

I was hugely upset with GTA 4 and i was bored. Is saint row 2 really fun?

That's the thing. SR2 is fun, no doubt, but the city doesn't feel alive. Liberty City in GTA IV felt like a living and breathing city. Sure, SR2 took it a step further than the original, and you'll see people cuddling on benches, etc, but it still doesn't have that feel of a living and breathing world. When I played GTA IV, I didn't even like to kill civilians, because they responded, they'd put their hands on your car hood if you tapped into them. In SR2 I can go on a killing spree and not think twice. Both are good, but GTA IV succeeds more.

I like Saints Row 2 as much as the next person but to be honest, the gangs in Saints Row 2 aren't realistic. They're kinda corney.

More fun = better. I dont care if it looks worse and ahs poorer physics and all that crap.ukillwegrill

Exactly...that is what I've been saying about SR2. I've said all along it will probably have worse graphics and A.I. than GTA IV, but will probably be more fun overall. Of course "fun" is subjective...but for me, having a ton more activities to do than in GTA IV = more fun.

would u rather play darts or spray people with poop:lol: ill go with the poop lolmurat8

Would you rather throw someone through a window, or watch TV? I'd go with throwing!

its fun but its flawed so i wouldn't say better.

A lot of freedom, I love the Saints Row notoriety meter, you can see exactly when how much till level will drop or go higher. I have been wizzing through the story, I think I've played 18 hours and I'm on the last mission (after you defeat all 3 gangs).

It's a lot of fun, you start doing crazy mission from the start, especially with some of the awesome activities to earn respect.

Also the respect meter is better, it has an indication with stars of how much respect you'll get for certain things so you'll try to do crazy stuff for more respect (driving crazy, headshots, kill combos, etc).

BTW, doesn't anyone else feel SR2 has great explosions?

You are kidding me? SR2's driving is WORSE than GTA4's?! How can that be possible? Or you actually like how the cars handle?

I agree, GTA San Andreas had crap graphics but was tons of fun, I still play it some times.

I want to get Saints Row 2 :cry: The last 360 game I bought was GTAIV, and that was April 29, 2008. I really need to catch up!!

I don't know where GS get off giving that awful lagfest boring game GTA4 (Worst GTA by a far) a perfect score of 10, yet they give a vastly superior game like Saint's Row 2 a 8.0. Dahaka-UK

its probably because you opinion differs from the vast majority.

and i never had any lag in GTA4 ever - guess you're playing on the PS3 :P

SR2 is sooo much fun, but it's not better than GTA IV. BioShockOwnz

This. As weird as it sounds, SR2 is more fun. But GTA is the better game.

If thats the case the vast majority's standards have dropped considerably. I'm glad to be in the minority. GTA4 sucks.

And yeah there where so much lag and framerate dips. It was uncopable. The game was darn right boring anyway. Not to mention the really bad controls of both the character and the vehicles.
