great for what it is
Saints Row 2 is a great improvement over Saints Row 1. It is crass, immature, and insanely fun. What the game lacks in polish, it makes up with variety. There are so many over the top things to do in Stillwater that the game never gets old.

If it is to be compared to the GTA series, it is most similar to GTA3 San Andreas (which is a huge compliment).

Something to note is that the PS3 version DOES NOT have trophy support. I'd lean towards the 360 version if you have the option

Incredible fun
I'm glad i bought this game. Great price, great game. Even though it's quite evidently a GTA 'knock-off' so to speak, this title is actually well aware of what it is, and what it sets out to do, which essentially makes and separates itself from GTA, making the two completely incomparable, different games (in my opinion).

Definitely get this and have a buddy in hand willing to CO-OP the story with you. Utterly random, though ultimately fun, this is one hilarious trip of a game.

Worth the asking price
The sheer amount of stuff "To-do' and you can do is overwhelming

Great game with special price
this game is most like GTA IV. now i have the collector's edition of my favourite game with low price!!!

Best Game besides GTA4
GTA 4 was very good. But you can't play GTA4 all the time. And so SR2 filled in the gap very well while I waited for the episodic content. SR2 is more fun and laid back. GTA 4 was more dark and serious while SR2 focused on the hilarious stuff. I like the cars better in SR2 though.
