spooky donkey

Havent played it but the 1st one really dident do much for me, seemed like a poor mans GTA.

thenightrider

Im only geting in to saintsrow and ive only got in to gta4 again in the last few days played gta4 when it came out for about 30 min find it very slow

Saintsrow 2 seem's to just jump in to the action

FreeOSCAR

How did you get it (if by legal means)?
I know the street date was broken all over the place. Anywhere in Ireland?

I didn't like the first one that much. Thought it was pretty mundane, won't be picking up the sequel unless the reviews are exceptional. Too many other great games coming out, this can be easily missed.

Its great with the time machine xbox's dont have to pay rip of price's for games and you can get as many as you like if the game sucks who cares "as games are so cheap in the future " lol

I'm looking forward to playing (and buying) this. The last one was loads of fun, kind of like what GTA used to be before it went all super serious and way too realistic. Graphics don't look amazing but that doesn't matter too much to me.

I only picked up the original Saints Row when it was going cheap, but I was surprised at how much I liked it. I think I'll wait for it to come down in price, and see how the reviews are, before I get the sequel.

The first was really good I thought, I'm interested to see what the next one is like but the graphics look worse than the first game for some reason wtf??

pity the developers in the present dont feel that way

Irishpimpdude

Imo its better then san andreas but not as good as GTAIV

Karmafaerie

Great game.

Anybody who thought that GTA 4 was a bit too much will love this.
It's funny, action packed and enough different from GTA while being like it to make it worth it.

I think IGN said it best.

IGN wrote:

October 9, 2008 - When people see Saints Row 2 they'll instantly think of Grand Theft Auto IV. It's inevitable. It moves similarly, the scenes have the same saturated lighting and there are several parallels that can be drawn between the gameplay of the two. Heck, the text is even color coded in a similar way for mission objectives. But, be warned, Saints Row 2 is most certainly not GTA.

Thankfully this is one imitator that turns out to be much more than a straight carbon copy. In fact, Saints Row 2 takes GTA's gameplay, turns it on its side and sends it rolling down a mountain filled with land mines, roving monster trucks and ninjas. Lots and lots of ninjas.

Definately recommend.
Way better than the first.

Is this out??? Been looking forward to it since the first one...

This day next week if you don't have a time machine;).

Stop calling it a time machine. It's a hacked 360 that plays downloaded games.

It got a good review on ign

Eurogamer gave it a great review too.

Still gonna get Dead Space before this though.

Captain Chaos

xbox360achievements.com didn't give it that good of a review though, they said it was better than the first alright but that the city was exactly the same only a little bigger.

They also complained about glitches with collisions and that the draw distance and pop up was very bad considering the graphics have not improved much since the first.

I have since cancelled my pre order of this, I'll probably pick it up in a few weeks when the price drops unless they come out with a dem like the first game and convince me.

I can't believe the lack of demos with all the game releases coming up over the next 2 weeks.

I think Dead Space is still a must buy for me and Far Cry 2.

Gran Hermano

It's a bit like Christmas at Long John Silver's house in here.

Gta3, liberty city stories, gta4. All in the same city. First game was very good and graphics where excellent at the time, im fact i didnt think gta4 is that far ahead of saints row which is why i was dissapointed when i got it.
