BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't worry, you aren't missing anything. I spent an hour or so with it and it's just as average as the first installment. Funny too that I hadn't barely picked up GTA until a couple of days ago, then an hour later and Saints Row 2 appears on the good old internet! There just isn't any comparison. The difference in the quality of gfx alone is plain as day. The cars in GTA handle 'realistically' which I didn't like but I can live with - the cars in SR2 handle as if physics wasn't 'invented'. Another DL disc wasted! I really wanted it to be good too I actually liked the first one alot. SR2 is good for what it is, I'm enjoying it so far, it looks like it could have been on the OG xbox/ps2 though, the graphics stink. SR2 plays faster then GTA4 which is good, Nico's slow ass movement and looping turns really killed GTA for me. SR2 is fast. GTA4 has better graphics and storyline. SR2 has more diversions, mini games, and customizations.
