The original Saints Row turned out to be quite the treat in its time, bringing current-generation consoles one of the first fully-fledged sandbox experiences, and it served to hold many over until Grand Theft Auto IV. But just because Rockstar's giant is out doesn't mean THQ and Volition are putting the Saints Row series to rest. On the contrary, a new trailer for Saints Row 2 has us looking, to use the game's vocabulary, stoked

wow that looks awesome! i never played the first one (watched others play it) but this one looks much better, possibly like GTAIV but at a SA level (where you can do all the crazy sh!t that you can't do in the new one)

this is good if EA buys take-two...

why can't like take-two, valve, and blizzard merge to form a killer company?

The FTC will probably love a big, politically correct company (EA) to take control of one that there has been so much controversy over (Take-Two)

I can't wait for saints row 2. It will blow GTA 4 away.

lol while it makes fun of GTA, I don't think the engine matches up to that of GTA. Yes, Euphoria is new in the series but that's only the physics engine. I'm talking about overall maneuvering your character and vehicle. I remember playing the first Saints Row, and while it was pretty cool to see something new, it got boring real quick. Driving wasn't fun, and gameplay was buggy. After watching a trailer from gametrailers, I can say that it wont come close to the funfactor that of GTA IV.

In one of the clips, the guy was shooting his gun while his legs were facing the opposite direction of his target.

Looks like they still have a buggy targetting system.

I will probably still buy it. Maybe brand new, or maybe after someone returns it after a week of playing the game.

Still pretty funny the way they made fun of GTA though
