1.4 - Dang, you guys are harsh!
Obviously this game is not the second coming or anything, but lighten up! The original Saints Row did not take itself seriously and was a surprisingly lot of fun.

The original Saints had: car customization, beautiful paint jobs, create a character, great guns and aiming, unlimited garages, smooth frame-rate, stupidly hilarious story and dialogue, graphics that were not all blurry and smeary (i.e. GTA4), and great car handling (not like every vehicle had long-travel spent shocks (GTA4 once again).

Say what you will about the graphics being too pedestrian, which is true, Saints Row 2 still should be a lot of fun to play. I thought next to GTA4 the original saints was the best open-world game on the 360.

Look, Mercs 2 looked like crap in the graphics department and was still a blast to play. I KNOW that Saints 2 will be WAY deeper story and variety wise than Mercs 2 so why all the hate?

people complained about gta 4 not having enough traffic/peds on screen

game looks weak, jerky, the city barely has any elevation changes

this looks like saints row 1.2
not even good enough for a 1.5 version

they even copped the gta4 meters around the map kind of thing

this is beginning to look like more of a spoof of gta than a real respectable game

4 - Wow...I don't want to sound like a critic
But this game is looking sorta lame. It doesn't seem like they improved the game much for the original saint's row.

But I'll give it some slack, looks can be deceiving and the game isn't actually out for anyone to play it yet. So I can't judge it yet. But right now, at first glance, this game doesn't look too promising

whatever about slacking it man look at the AI... my god!

this shoulda been on the dreamcast.. no offence cause i loved the dreamcast but damn

4.2 - Damn, harsh man
But you have a point. You'd think they aren't even trying to improve judging by how this game looks.

And I agree, the dreamcast was LEGENDARY. Too bad it died an untimely (and undeserved) death

well about the dreamcast it only died cause it did not have a sony label on it, while the dreamcast had much better graphix than ps1. oh well that's what ppl chose.
Shut this user up Let user speak
The gaming GOD - 449 days ago
4.4 - Wrong
Dreamcast died because of the pile up of debt from Sega's previous failed endeavors (Sega Saturn, Game Gear, Sega CD, Sega 32x) and poor business management.

And of course the Dreamcast had better graphics than the ps1. The Dreamcast was the generation AFTER the ps1 day. PS1 fought with the Saturn.

It didn't die because it wasn't a Sony Label.

That "American" comment of his was uncalled for and shouldn't have been voiced. I don't agree with his statement the tiniest bit.

I was only laughing at the thought of Gran Theft Borat.

What upsets me is the fact that this game won't make Rockstar tremble in their boots and know there's fierce competition stealing precious customers from them. Rockstar won't feel the need to drastically improve GTA to show that they are still on top. We'll get minor improvements since they know nothing can touch their quality of games.

Take Madden for example: How many years in a row did it look like the new version consisted of a roster update with a few gameplay improvements sprinkled in the game? (2009 might be the exception (not sure, don't own it)).

Bottom line: GTA needs stiff competition. Even though the premise behind GTA is old, I feel there's still a lot of improvements to be made to get a GTA-like game into the "next gen" era (imagine San Andreas' variety with GTA4's graphics). Sadly, Saints Row 2 doesn't appear to be providing us with that experience.

10.1 - Good Call
Madden is an excellent example of what happens when the competition is slow and/ or none at all.

And the bad part is they'll get away with rehashing things if the competition keeps putting out lackluster efforts like this Saint's Row 2. In honesty, I wouldn't bother improving much either if I already know the competition is weak. They know you're forced to buy their product because there isn't much else

looks like a less blurry version of san andreas to me. oh well i guess the raphics fall into the good enough catagorey and the fun features should make this game good.

I'm gonna reserve judgment until i pick this up and if anyone else is interested in this game wait for decent reviews from trusted sites and don't rely on the haters to make your mind up

Wont be buying this for sure i wouldnt even play it if it was a free copy. Doesent even look next gen and the city its played in just looks empty and dull looking. How they reckon this will beat GTA4 well they must off been on drugs when they sed it. Looks like a poor mans GTA tbh and it wont see my games collection.

I'll pass on this game, the only game that looks as good as GTA is Mafia 2 i believe.

Joey Grecko kicks ass by the way and I loved the cheaters episode when he got stabbed, hope you fully recovered Joe !! Saints Row 2 looks like a freaking joke compared to how realistic GTA4 is and the bottom line is that GTA4 is a classic that no open world game will ever compare to unless Rockstar makes it.

22 - the game looks like it needs a phyics engine / AI improvements..
The guy ran over everything and the car did not take any noticeable damage.??? The cop were chasing the guy and they disappeared after he ran half of a half of a block on a straight away. GTA3,Vice City,San Andreas and even GTA4 the cops would chase you until they caught you or you died. The city folks/Gang members would also do the same if you bothered them on most occasion. This game is back on the rental shelf after this video...

i looked at the video again and every time he turns his back;everybody disappears.. lmao The game does have that ps1 or Ps2 look to it.. i think games like GTA or SR should be build on the ps3 because of the blue ray factor.. these games or getting condense to fit on the 360 and it really hurting both the PS3/us the consumer.. Dan Houser was right and THQ will learn the same thing with this game. i am not blaming the 360 but it DVD rom disc or not helping out games of this size... or RAGE to come in 2009

Game play looked decent, not graphically better then GTA4, but not so bad I wont give it a chance, IMO- GTA4 was lacking in features, it was fun but outside of the main missions there wasn't really much of anything to do (that was enjoyable enough to due it more then once) if there would have been a turn pedestrians into zombies cheat nothing would have ever beaten it. lol (not that I'm saying this will but I'll hold judgment until I play)

The graphics don't look great, but not bad. But, I loved the first Saints Row, so I'll be picking this up.

Does anyone know the release date? Cause the game looks far from finished.. So, if it is far from release then hopefully they will fix a lot of the stuff.

Does anyone know which version that is? It's not the 360 version. At 4:12 it says press L1..

like i've been saying for months, Saints Row has NO CLASS compared to GTAIV. it's just.. i dunno, very tasteless.

and doesnt look good at all. what made GTAIV great for me was the atmosphere, how much work they put into making the environment believable... it was amazing. in my opinion.
