Well considering Saints Row 2 is currently awaiting release later this year, and GTA IV has been available for over a month now, this thread is incredibly pointless. How is anybody capable of answering your question if Saints Row 2 is expected to remain in the pipeline for another several months? Unfair? I believe it is.

Everyone knows it does not deserve that score.

While I have yet to play SR2 (duh) it looks amazing from the videos. They added all this crazy stuff to mess around with including many things R* took out of GTA4.

GTA IV will chew up Saint's Row and spit it out, only to stomp it into meaningless piles of goo (which it already is).

Honestly, I don't know why THQ even TRIED. The first one was a joke.

The first one was great, you're just a hater :-) You probably haven't even played it. It's 100x better than San Andreas, which is the game it followed. The next one is following GTAIV...

Oh no, trust me. I'm a huuuuge fan of open world games, but I pretty much had to force myself to play through Saint's Row.

And it wasn't near the quality of San Andreas, either....oh well.

It's a 10 in MY book. I don't base my opinion of a game off of some score a reviewer gave it.

considering Vice City had everything better than Saints Row, it's pretty obvious GTA4 has no competition.

i think that saints row was actually a really fun game (the singleplayer, the mp was horrid), much more fun than san andreas, so i will wait and see, but i think that, imo, it's very possible that saints row 2 will be more fun for me than gta IV

saints row 2 will be better in my opinion. i thought gta4 deserved an 8 at best. the multiplayer was horrid in gta4, but i loved it in sr minus the lag. blinged out ride was probably the most fun match type i've ever played, and protect tha pimp was awesome when your team wasn't teamkilling, this is why i got a gang started and played with them and only them on my team, against whatever gang it put us against. as long as those two modes make a return i'll buy sr2 and play it until gears 2 comes out.

SR2 has yet to improve off of GTA4, just like SR improved off of San Andreas. Persnally, San andreas had HORRIBLE graphics and a hard to get controll of driving system. soon even vids will be outdated so that they are more real than real... but yea, a good game always takestime and always looks at other series for advice. hell, rockstar shuld m ke a saints row game. good graphics but THQ will master the gameplay. get it ppl. "next gen" used to be pong, and now it's REAL graphics. so SR has yet t improve off ofit. NO, i am not critisizing GTA, but SR was a bigger hit and people LOVED the cheezy gang life. who winss: a russian whos sorta nerdy who comes to NY, or a S citisen who goes to stillwater and joins a gang to try to get RESPECT. you ppl decide wich plotis better. i would NOT compare GTA4 and the original saints row because the origional was a LAUNCH GAME!

Why is Saints Row even given equal status to GTA? It's a stone cold unoriginal rip-off of GTA. Yet it is lauded to be as good or better than the franchise that inspired it. All you need to know is this, Volition took one look at GTA4 and announced that Saints Row 2 will be delayed for 2 to 3 more months. Suddenly it's not ready now. Saints Row was not terrible. I liked the single-player campaign but the multi-player was an abortion. Saints Row 2 will look good and the story should be passable (oooh revenge, original!) but it will always be the red-headed stepchild to GTA.

Saints Row 1 sucked, unless they change the gameplay completely, add a story it might be better

Saints Row 1 could have been done on a PS2

What the hell are you talking about? Research a bit before you post crap!

research? are you kidding me! this game ws FLYING off of the shelves. of courseit was a launch game (read my post before critisizing) and noone really thought it was good bcs it came out so early. if you want to go on a rampage and do complet randomness, choose saints row. if you are a freakin nerd who likes russia and dresses up like a DUMB imagrant (wich he really is) choose GTA4. but comparing saints row and ga4 is just pathetic! launch game

I'd suggest getting both, they are two totally different sandbox games. both have their pros and cons. I would get GTAIV for now, and then SR2 when it's out (Been pushed back until October btw)

I think Saints Row 2 is in a fantastic position to beat GTAIV, because they can look at the competition and still have time to make changes. Look at the things that GTA is criticised for and do them better, or atleast not make the same mistakes.

GTA was good, but it was hugely overhyped, doesn't deserve a 10/10, and once you've played through the game there is nothing left to do. By making it more realistic they took away part of what made it fun
