    I am a big fan of open world type game, I like GTA4,but not 10 out of 10, I can spot few things which I dislike in the game. but this game, saints row 2, I have a bit disappointed , as I saw this game is totally inferior than GTA4 at the whole world structure , as the review says, it is a lite GTA 4. some certain way to judge this game, it has its own style, but the whole feeling is just can not compare with GTA 4, so , if you want some thing different from GTA 4., get this, but if you want a better open world game , sorry, I would say GTA 4 still is the best open world game so far.

    The way the review is, Saints Row 2 should have got a 9.0 or so. Lol, Think I might try this game looks wicked fun.

    GTA 4 was just over rated, it did not deserve a 10 neither does this game, but sr2 is better so, if this is an 8 gta4 should be like a 7-7.5 done and done.

    gamespot ir right again...its imature, its totally weird, but its fun. its just video game (gta iv is not just a little video game, by the way)

    It really depends on the type of gamer you are. If you like the over-the-top blowing stuff up hilarious get Saints Row 2. If you like the serious, deep story but still fun, go with GTA 4. Is it really that hard to decide?

    Posted Aug 24, 2009 7:52 am PT

    this is rubbish, gta rip off, bad graphics, crap driving mechanics, okay you can make ur own character but so wat when its this boring gta 4 is much better

  • RuffRyder101

    I cant get enough of this game

    Completed it twice and I found this game way more fun to play than GTA 4. It is not as good as the latest GTA ofcourse but I liked it alot more because its not as serious as GTA is. I've even played the second time with my character looking like Tupac, its unbelievable how real you can make your character with the character creation tool.

    i think that people are so used to gta that they dont wanna give other games like it a chance!!

  • DDERME

    an 8 isn't a low score, people should stop nagging.
    a 10 is to high, on the other hand, for ANY game ...

  • Cparow

    Posted Jul 16, 2009 5:24 pm PT

    its not gta 4 it doesnt try to be so stop comparing it. its like mlb 09 the show nd the bigs. there different.

    This guy makes this game sounds like it's way better than Grand Theft Auto IV(and it is, by the way), so why is this game rating lower than Grand Theft Auto? This game needs a 10!!!

  • Cattpride

    Posted Jun 27, 2009 4:34 pm PT

    Wow. It looks like all the GTA4 fanboys are here.
    You idiots, he told you in the beginning of the damn review NOT TO compare it to GTA4. SR2 and GTA4 are polar opposites of each other. If you want to go ape sh*t in the city and blow stuff up, this is the game for you. If you want a heavily realistic, good looking, though somewhat boring at times game with lots of consequences, play GTA4.

    Everybody needs to shut up with all the fanfare. That's all you ever see on any review, we get it, you like your own game, don't go to another game's review just to say a different game is better. I played GTA4, it was great, but all the dating missions kind of killed it for me, and the online wasn't really that great. booya

  • Nasos100

    Posted Jun 23, 2009 3:53 am PT

    You cant even compare this to GTA IV. GTA IV is much better in every territory. SR2 has no story, no realism and all mission are go there kill that or drive there kill. GTA IV is much more fun

    That game really reminds me of GTA SA. And GTA4 isn't that better. SA still owns.

  • LTRiDa

    Posted Jun 4, 2009 1:45 pm PT

    This game may not have the advanced physics or grahpics of gta 4 but it is a 100 times more fun than gta. I'd choose fun over realism anyday. By the way the voice acting is top notch

  • XenoLair

    gotta try this!

    I agree with JingWarrior. A hot chic would really give the reviews something else!

    Whats wrong with the guy who presents these reviews?
    He looks like a reject from the Muppet Show, And acts asthough he's reading a review he didnt write from an autoque..... oh wait. He IS just reading somone else's review....
    Why dont you get a hot chic to present these things?

    @ Decrate

    I agree, GTA4 is a great, realistic game, but sometimes it's even more fun to play something ridiculously unrealistic and stupid. (SR2)

  • Decrate

    saints row is behind gta in everyway. you can't even compare saints row 2 to GTA4 because GTA4 blows it away.

  • Wardman101

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 2:07 am PT

    Saints row 3 is coming!!!

  • Stingraez

    Posted Apr 22, 2009 8:15 am PT

    saints row 1 is better than gta so saints row 2 is way better but thats just my opinion

  • anigma378

    Posted Apr 15, 2009 9:21 am PT

    this is the bomb.cool but GTA IV is awesome

  • Mr_Fujiv1

    Posted Apr 15, 2009 7:02 am PT

    the truth is that it knows it doesnt have a chance against GTAIV so they have just mucked it up and said we arnt trying to be like anyone.
    this game looks soo bad!
    GTAIV is sooo GOOD!
