I'm one of the people who never get enough of these style of sandbox game as long as they're done right. I really enjoyed Saints Row and will be grabbing this even after spending hours with GTA4.

I don't know about the rest of you chuckleheads, but I'm anxiously anticipating this game. This game is going to be freaking sweet!

I never played a GTA game for more than an hour or two, I spent many days on saints row. I hope they keep they cartoony feel of the first, it made it more fun IMO.

I've been a hardcore GTA fan for awhile. When I picked up a 360 and played Saints Row, I was amazed. Yea it could be compared to GTA, but the game was done right and showed off the potential of 'next gen gaming'.

I'm getting GTA IV (preordered alreaday) and Saints Row 2 will be a purchase, but not sure how close to GTA it will be though.

The thing I like about Saints Row was that it was so customisable. If they're improving upon this, adding online co-op and GTA IV doesn't come out with online co-op and some degree of customising in it then I might be picking this game up too

While GTA 4 looks interesting, I might pass on it for a while. Wasn't going to originally but Saints Row 2 looks like its going to be even better than the first, which I still love playing through.

I'm more interested in Saints Row 2 than I am GTA IV, to be honest. I played and enjoyed the GTA games since the very first one, but I never really got through them very well. I played Saints Row all the way though and loved every minute of it! It's just a well balanced game with great humor and enough adult content to keep it interesting but still tasteful enough. Heh.

I agree with the first comment. I love these sand box games. I own all the GTAs and saints row 1 and will buy GTA4 and saints row 2. Can't get enough!!!

most people who played saints row consider it to be far supirior to the gta series (im one of them). With saints row 2 having co-op, more multiplayer, more customization and more everything, and us still not even seeing a single in game screenshot of some1 playing gta4, I think this game can hold its own. We still dont even know what kind of multiplayer will be in gta4. GTA4 is a joke compared to saints row 2.

Saints Row was SSSSSOOOOO much better than San Andreas (being that the story was coherent.) Definitely picking up SR2.

Off topic here, but I click my name and it asks me to log in. I use the password given in the e-mail confirmation but it doesn't work. What's up?

Yeah I'm playing through Saint's Row and am very much looking forward to the sequel, especially what with the co-op and all. Saints rule! At the very least you have to admit SR is pushing the GTA series to do some things better (aiming, customizing your character, etc). Iwonder if in GTAIV you can get some of your posse to jump in the car with you and wreck havoc the way you can in SR.

Oh I am kind of pissed about this though, apparently now your character in SR2 is going to talk. Damn it all! I like my characters to be quiet. =(

GTA games need not be multiplayer. I feel time spent on adding multiplayer is a waste, especially if it fizzles out. Saint's Row multiplayer wasn't exactly great, it certainly didn't live up to my expectations. They should just leave multiplayer to the mod community, which in a way would leave out the consoles.

Saint's Row is awesome. GTA needs to step it up and raise the bar. Plastering the notorious letters "GTA" on the box isnt going to sell me a game anymore after playing the first Saint's Row.

The shit-my-pants moment of de-railing a damn TRAIN with the rocket launcher in Saint's Row was awesome.

@EmptyEnergy

There's a big difference between coop multiplayer and competitive multiplayer. Coop can make a good game great, usually competitive play is just tacked on.

The only negative for me was no confirmation of ONLINE co-op.

But other than that, woooooo!! How I long to commit insurance fraud again! One of the best bits of SR1!!
More vehicles, more customisation, more Saints Row? Yes please!!
