I loved the first one. It had great graphics/physics, great controls and a lot of features you couldn't find in GTA. Nice missions as well.

I'm still not convinced. Original was terrible IMO and this one isn't doing much better even with the added "sex" appeal and plane crashing system.
Prototype, InFamous and GTA4 are the sandbox titles that I care about unless SR2 can pull off a miracle.

3.3 - Saints row was average
I mean it was fun in a way but overall average and the shooting didnt feel fun to me at least. Anyway the ending was good if they didnt begin it with this twist in SR2 and GTA IV is just going to be more enjoyable to me but whatever your preference might be have fun.

3.4 - ok mesh....
if there's anyone on this site who ISN'T brain-dead, it's MK_Red.
Oh, and some info for ya:
Saints Row 2 is in development for PS3 and Xbox 360. (Not that I care in the least bit)
The first Saints game was pure crap....kill people to earn money....to buy better clothes and guns....kill even more people to buy even better clothes, jewelry and guns....please, can we get better gameplay ideas than that?
I will only play the next saints row if they choose to evolve beyond the immensely shallow structure of the first game.
I swear....Saints Row only markets towards the extremely shallow, brute-force and materialistic culture known as rap / hip-hop.
3 of my graphic design classmates are big into the rap / hip-hop scene, and they are the only ones who praise the hell out of Saints Row.
Seriously....who would want to play this game unless you're already neck-deep in an obsession with women, cars, violence, money, clothes, outward appeal.....etc?
Unfortunately, I'm labeling people with stereotypes, but I can assure you that there is....generally speaking....a certain demographic that plays games like this.
And it's obvious fact that this game is marketed towards them!
And I'm not part of them.....thankfully.
Ok....let the hating on me begin!

3.5 - Ok?
So whats your point, isnt that what San Andreas was all about? Beat up hookers, car jack people, hot coffee, etc. Your point is moot being that GTA is the game that basically started the whole "obsession with women, cars, violence, money, clothes, outward appeal" in video games. GTA games are all about murdering, robbing, drug dealing, mafioso type entertainment. C'mon hookers and drugs, same thing as SR. So if you like GTA its ok, but if you like SR you are automatically in a certain demographic? Your arguement makes no sense at all.

"It’s aiming to be a serious threat to GTA IV’s world conquering plans."
I don't think so,the first one on the Xbox 360 was okay,GTA is a proven franchise/series,SR isn't.

7 - lol this is no threat to gta
the first saints row was no where near as good as san andreas and this doesnt look like it'll change anything. flying through buildings? whoop-dee-doo. im gonna admit i did have a little fun with sr1 but that was only because it was the only free roam city game at the time but when gta4 comes out, its gonna re-invent the genre rockstar created

Online co-op roxx big time. I wonder if that's a multiplatform release? From the sound of the article it sounded like 360 / PC only.

The first saints row was junk food, a luke warm bacon double cheese burger with limp fries and a sugary over iced gallon of coke.
GTA is a Fillet steak served with chasseure sauce, potatoe dophinoise and parsnip fritters washed down with a strong bodied merlot.
I really don't think the two will even compare.

Also jack will go to town with this, seeing as you can fly planes into buildings, and people still and wont forget 911, so when jack puts a video of him doing this, this will cause some problems, and heat for the devs.

If GTA4 fails to meet my expectations(and I'm about 80% it will, for obvious reasons) then I'll pick up saints row for the customization options alone.

need to go back to the drawing board and come out with fresh ideas. I was bored after the second GTA. Too much freedom can be a curse in a game.

25 - I'm one of the "growing" few that enjoyed Saints Row more than GTA
Saints Row gave me what GTA didn't last round "online and custimation" of everything. Didn't give us Motorcycles, boats or flying though :-(
