now for the hard evidence

saints row has

air planes

mostly everythin can be customized all cars can be customized, even semis police cars and any car /bike can fit in garages

in gta iv, you can fit 2 cars at the most , some times the 2nd would disappear , ,

and you can not customize your car, the only option is pay and spray which only does the color automatically you dont pick it,

no air planes

on to the other stuff including handling etc

saints row 2 has cruis control, gta iv doesnt

saints row 2s cars drive much easier, gta ivs always end up in a wall, especally that lamborgini like car or the sultan rs

you can rob stores, throw people, drive a flaming atv as part of one of many activities which are all fun ,,

in gta you cant do nothing but steal cars, and helicopters in multiplayer sp only gets the tour helicopter which isnt fun unless you want a 4 star wanted level of course by going in to the airport , prohibiited what say what , ,

saints row 2 lets you go any where you want,

heck the cops dont care if you were at the restricted areas of the place,

the only thing gta iv has is the colision damage, i wish saints row 2 had that ,, but thats the least i care about lol,

also in gta iv there is no activities, no fun ones at least the only ones that are there where in san andreas, and saints row already so ya, (the vehicle escort via email and phone is the equivalant of saints rows chop shop and gta san andreas import and export ) which san andreas puts iv to shame lol ,

saints row gives you rewards, not just money,

gta iv does not san andreas did ,, not iv and money, well you get hardly any thing, how am i supposed to get that acheivment if i have to buy my guns lol, saints row 2 has a stash so did san andreas and saints row 1

why iv didnt is beyond me ,

to put it simple for those who cant read , ,

saints row 2 gives you more freedom

gta san andreas gives you just as much

saints row gives you just as much as well , to a lesser extent seeing as it was the first installment

but gta iv is really not the 4th in the series,

its like the 8th lol ,, and by then rockstar should have kept uipdating not degrading, dont give me 9/11 as an excuse not to have planes because you know what, san andreas came in 2004 ,, that 9 11 happened 3 years prior to that,

so why did they have planes in san andreas, what did san andreas not have buildings ,, ? thats still a mystery as to why rockstar didnt include planes, heck they made it so we cant hardly get any helicopter either lol, out side of multiplayer your not allowed like i said in the air port, where the annhilators are located ,

the only heli we can fly/pilot is the mavrick or the news mavrick /helitour maverick

without being shot out of the sky

and the handling of all cars in iv suck , the only one i had good cornering with is that hyandai accent looking car, and the comet

other then the city cars like taxi and the ones i mentioned, everythin else some how manages to slide all over the place into walls tip over(eg mini vans) and the missions are all the same kill this person take this person kill them to , , ) yes saints row was the same but you know what it didnt have a game to build up on , also it had activities to do alon side them missions , stronghold and im barely tapping in to saints row 2 , already had a good variety of missions id say the strong holds had me destoy things, or kill some one , the missions had me do alot of things , like go to a court room etc ,

and im already enjoyin the game, throwing people is the funest part ,,,

wackin peoples heads in with stop signs garbage cans chairs pizza boxes cinder blocks etc,

is alot more fun then just poppin a load in some one with a 12 gauge shot gun ,

thats as slow as heck , heck on the first mission i was already into the action, like in vice city if you think about it, shoooting from a helicopter is also somthing you cant do in iv but you can in vice city san andreas saints row 2 and so on

Well, officially, GTA4 > Saints Row 2

But unaficially, Saints row 2 > GTA4

Saints row 2 is just more fun, GTA4 is boring as HELL

Can't wait to play SR2. Everything the TC said is what I expected from SR2. It just looks more fun than GTA IV and there is obviously has a heck of a lot more to do. I've never liked that the GTA series is STILL keeping parts of the city off limits until you unlock those areas. Seems pretty lame. Also, driving in GTA IV was worse than other GTA games. Yeah, SR2 scored an 8.0 due to technical issues. The graphics also look pretty terrible for a 360 title...as well as some of the AI. However, it still seems like it will be a lot more fun than GTA IV.

Awesome. Are the graphics as bad as people are saying? I know graphics don't mean much in the overall scheme of things, but I've read that there is some really horrible Vsync issues.

Why one earth did you structure your post like that? It just made it more difficult to read, next time use proper sentences and paragraphs please.

Anyway, on topic, i wish there was a game that mixed the best of both worlds. Id like the story, presentation and polish of GTA but with the customisation, crazyness and random missions and activitys of Saints Row.
