Saints Row 2

Its better than gta4. Its alot more fun and load more things to do. It's like how the old gtas were.

You guys are smoking crack, saints row is just a cheap ass ripoff of the GTA franchise, plus it does everything worst. When you run it feels like your character ist just sliding over the ground.

It could be fun for some mindless fun but it's cheap as ****, everything from the graphics to the voice acting reeks b grade production.

After San Andreas, it seems as if the GTA series decided to be a bit more 'gritty' and realistic, whereas the guys ripping them off decided to go in the direction of colourful graphics and fun without too much seriousness.

Different people prefer different things.

GTA4 just wasn't what I was hoping for, but to each his own and all that.

I put in Saints Row 2 yesterday to play some online multiplayer. I felt I wasn't giving the game a chance. To be quite honest, within five minutes I was so frustrated with the graphics, gameplay and the character controls that I quickly took it out. I don't know what people see in that game but I don't know how anyone compares it to San Andreas. GTA IV I can understand because even though it had beautiful graphics, some people found it boring. But I feel that San Andreas (and GTA IV) are on another level. And like I previously said, if someone has played all of the GTA games and are longtime fans, they'll find it really hard to enjoy this game. But I guess every prefers something different...

Well I've been playing GTA since the very first one. The series has gone away from a lot of things that I liked.

As I was saying re: Resident Evil 5, I think that the likes of RE and GTA were great because they had lots of new ideas and they brought in things that had never been done before in a game. However, the rest of the gaming world has moved on, and now GTA4 is just another sandbox game, and RE is just another 3rd person shooter.

I don't play online much, so I can't make much comparison there. Neither GTA4 or SR2 are good online IMO, but like I say...I'm not much of an online gamer.

It's just a matter of taste. Some of my favourite gamer are from the mid 1990s because they have things that modern games lack. Same with SR2 and GTA4.

You're just a GTA fan boy. GTA 4 was ****. I hated being some ugly fat Serb and there was 0 customizations, plus the story line was ****. You keep comparing GTA: SA with GTA 4 when they are NOTHING alike.

And how you got "frustrated" with the gameplay and character controls is beyond me, you must be a ******. A two year old could pick up and play SR2.

Enough said.

That is exactly what the GTA franchise is known for but it left that behind and went for a more realistic, less fun/addictive gameplay which leaves me looking for more. Saints Row may be similar to the original GTA games but that is what makes it better than GTA4. .

SR2 is 10 times better than 1.
