Saints Row 2 > Grand Theft Auto 4

Saints Row 2 is a shameless GTA clone sand box game though it does many things better than GTA4.

The game allows an impressive level of character customization and then sets you loose into the sandbox world allowing you to run riot with a selection of colorful side quests. These side quests are fun at first but soon get repetitive as a 'respect meter', which must be filled between each portion of the main story, relies on these side mini-games. The mini-games run out of charm long before you complete the main story arc.

Saints Row 2 returns to the manic, comical fun that gives sand box games of this genre their appeal, keeping score on several criminal behaviors in which you will indulge throughout the game as appose to GTA 4 which has taken the less satisfying approach of gritty realism.

In conclusion Saints Row 2 is by no means a sophisticated game with a gripping story and the inability to continue down the main story arc without spamming the same side quests to fill up your respect meter will get annoying, however if you're looking to kill a few hours with some superficial mad-cap sandbox fun Saints Row 2 is well worth a look.
Summary: Worth a play through for a sandbox gangster game. Preferable to GTA4 as its less inhibitive.
