Saints Row 2

[Sirgin]

I was wondering what you guys think about Saints Row 2. Obviously, people will compare the game with GTA4 and see that it's not nearly as good as Rockstar's latest.

But the question is: will you pick up Saints Row 2 for what it's worth or will you dismiss it completely for being a GTA rip-off?


Here's the GT review for anyone interested:

Saint's Row, despite being the same kind of game is hardly a GTA ripoff. I've always felt that GTA focused slightly more in the realm of realism, where Saint's Row is much more stylized.

That said, I loved Saint's Row, and I look forward to eventually getting the second one.

Voted 30-20, but I'd probably wait until it's $10-15. Too much other stuff to play first.

I'ma get it once it's out for PC. By all accounts what GTA 4 was lacking.

By all accounts what GTA 4 was lacking.

What was that?

The slapstick goofy over-the-top awesomeness. GTA IV was just kinda grimdark and blarg, still a great game by all accounts.

I only played the demo of the first one and I didn't like it. It seemed too white-middle-class-wannabe-black-gangsta with over use of the "N" word.

My not so savvy friend bought it recently for £20 used when it's being sold for around £10 new online. He traded it in pretty quickly because he thought it was so awful. But then this is the guy who thought King Kong was a "top class" game.

Well you could create a black character so that it would feel real gangsta.

Like Leon said. GTA4 has pretty much become gritty real life. While neither game really interest me, Saints Row 2 does seem to actually want to be more fun.
