I dont see why people like GTA4 better then Saints Row 2... when the storyline is far better, with WAY more action!
The only real flaws in this game compared to GTA4... is that its not as easy to get ahold of ammo, the sound quality isnt as good, you cant play the pool table as far as i know, and its very hard to drive and shoot... they didnt do a GREAT job at giving the character a background other then he/she was the previous saints leader... if you play as a female shes kind of comes off like shes into women they should have made her seem bi instead of lesbian... but aside that this game is really quite good...
The things it has better then GTA4 is the handling on vehicles is MUCH easier!! The manual target on guns feels perfect!! Much better customization properties which i personally love in games!! Pretty good voice acting not GREAT but good, people show you more respect then in gta4, you can run around nude if you want, cut scenes are FAR better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guns are cooler, unlike in gta4 it feels like every weapon is special.. i haven't gotten attached to a single weapon cause there all good, probably because the ammo is well distributed... Also i loved how badass they made Gat and the Saints leader!
Things i would change in saints row are... well for female characters they should let us mess around with the breast size.. hell if i want to be a slut i should be damn well able to be one! lol no jk not a big deal... i would however add more feel to the game other then the missions, the activities just didnt feel cool enough to keep doing them... other then fight club that was the only one that i really liked... sorry =[
(Conclusion)
If they make a Saints Row 3, im confident enough i would go out and buy it again without even needing to see a preview... so yeah its a good game!
