'Cause it sold well off the back of a lot of hype...?
Anyway, stylistically this reminds me a lot of GTA4 - is this how the first game looked? I'm sure it will be half-decent, although may not fare so well in such a busy year for city-based sandboxers. |

I thought it was kinda immature and fun. Terrible story and characters, but fun game mechanics :)

I actually prefered the first game to the various versions of GTA. It just did a lot of things better.
Hopefully this will be as good. |

In Saints Row 2 the whole game will be in Co-Op. Take that GTA4. SR was ok. But in coop it will be much more fun kinda like Crackdown but with lots more to do.

Actually, being a big fan of GTA and the style of game it created, I was stupid enough to pay good money for this game so yes I played it. Frankly I felt it was a buggy and clunky poor mans GTA that offered nothing new and with none of the humour of that series. Sure it had multiplayer but for me that didn't improve the actual game in any way. Playing SR just made me wish for GTA.....and my wish came true! All hail the real king of the street! |

I liked Saints Row. Never play it online though. It's awful there. It lacked the humour of GTA but was still solid to play and had the Insurance Fraud missions.

Saints Row was buggy? It was nowhere near as buggy as any of the GTA games! It improved on a lot of the mechanics of GTA games and was a lot of fun. The story and dialogue was for the most part completly awful, but other than it was good fun.
Definetly the best GTA clone around, I'm sure GTA4 will blow it out of the water but I'll still be picking up Saints Row 2. |

I rather liked Saints Row 1.
It did something better than GTA, things that GTA should have fixed aeons ago (decent mission restart mechanic and an aiming system that isn't shite for starters). |

Quoted for truth. To this day, GTA have never been able to get the 'on-foot' elements to play nice, Saints Row did it in one attempt.... |

I wanted to like it but I just found it tedious and also 'wanting GTA'. Also, I don't know if they did something about the tearing but that was horiffic. I'll pass on 2.

I liked the first one, but I didn't save right before the final mission so it really pissed me off when the game ended... ick. Fun game, the whole gangsta/hood aspect just made it a laugh because it kept poking fun at itself. The game itself was a GTA clone, sure, but it tweaked and improved so many things that were beginning to age in that series.
This new game is set in the same city, but "transformed"... I wonder how they managed to fit the Parthenon in there. |

GTA's humour is 2 things, the great and incredibly funny radio stations and dialogue, and lots of terrible juvenile sexual references (like 69 lolololol)

Liked the first one, especially the ability to drive without crashing into pop-up cars every two seconds. Gunplay and store robbing was good. The safe cracking game, the carnage missions (blowing up trains!).
Yep SR1 was a solid little game. I think I'll be investing in SR2. I'll also be getting GTA but, I can't say I enjoyed the last one all that much. Too much driving around for too little gain. No doubt GTA4 will be generously reviewed by the press and all flaws glossed neatly over as usual. |
