A couple of weeks ago I had finished Saints Row 2. I have not played the first one so I do not know which of the two games are better. What I do know though is that Saints Row 2 is way better then GTA (Grand Theft Auto.) Saints Row 2 may not have aqs better graphics as GTA but the structure of the game is better. I would rather play Saints row than GTA and I am looking forward to playing Saints Row 3. I would definitely recommend this game to an Xbox 360 or PS3 owner.
