Just got GTA4 yesterday, but Igot this nagging feeling while buying it, as the Sains Row 2 stand was staring me down...

So now Im quite confused if I did the right thing or should I go back and return GTA4 for Saints Row 2?

 Please no fan boy comments, keep it civilized and argument for your opinion instead of flaming the other game.

 Who reigns supreme between the two, in single player, multiplayer, graphics, controls etc. etc..?

I have not played Saint's Row 2 yet, but anybody who has read reviews of both games would be able to tell you this:

If you want the "better" game and want really good, mostly serious storytelling with memorable characters and polished gameplay, go with GTA4.

If you want the wackier, less serious but yet highly enjoyable game with a bigger variety of ADD satisfying gameplay, go with Saint's Row 2.

 

So if you want a great mature game, get GTA4. If you want a great immature game, get SR2.

 

(I'd get GTA4. It just might be GOTY, and SR2 isn't going to even be close)

If you want a polished, story driven, single player experience, get GTA IV. If you want a crazy, San Andreas-like game, get Saints Row 2. Saints Row 2 has a lot more things to do than GTA IV, but not all of them are very fun. It is also very glitchy. Playing it for a couple of hours today in co-op, I had to restart the game/reload a save five times because of the game freezing or some game breaking glitch. I prefer GTA IV, but I'd recommend playing both.

Their both good. I'm not even sure which one i like better anymore. I change my mind everyday. I think SR2 is funner but for some reason it feel like i enjoyed GTAIV more. Either way you can't go wrong with either.

What about the online play? Or is it just a side dish?

Saints Row 2 has co-op for the entire game which is the biggest advantage it has online against GTA IV. The competitive multiplayer is pretty bad. GTA IV's is pretty good, but some of the gametypes are pretty boring except for Cops N Crooks (when it plays out right) and a few others. Free roam in it is a blast with a lot of friends, unfortunately you can't play the story mode in co-op. Don't expect much from the online portions of both games (expect co-op in SR2).

GTA IV's multiplayer is the entire city, so just think about that. You would be a fool to return gta4, play it, save up and then get sr2.

saint row 2 is like GTA san andreas 2.0 with better graphic, somewhat bad framerate, a little less fun gta 4 is its own game

Just got GTA4 yesterday, but Igot this nagging feeling while buying it, as the Sains Row 2 stand was staring me down...

So now Im quite confused if I did the right thing or should I go back and return GTA4 for Saints Row 2?

I've played both & I believed it when everyone said SR2 is way more fun to play than GTA IV, however that wasn't the case for me.

Saints Row 2 is more fun and has more stuff to do. GTA4 is realistic and still fun, with a good story. But in SR2, you don't have to take friends bowling and hear that annoying cellphone. So, I vote for SR2. But GTA4 is a good game.
