Saints Row 2 or Grand Theft Auto IV ?
I wanna get one of those "do whatever the hell you want to do" (sandbox) games like SR and GTA, the problem is: They are both good games
All i know is that SR2 is more for people that just wanna have fun killing people, jumping off buildings with god mode and stuff, but GTA is realistic...
So can you guys give me your point of view of those games, and tell me which one you prefer? Thanks :P

Grand theft auto IV = Realistc
Saints Row 2 = Not so realistic
GTA 4 has a better story line.

You'll feel more accomplished when you beat GTAIV.
I did enjoy Saints Row 2, though.

If you're getting it for the PC, don't touch either.
Xbox 360, I preferred Saint's Row 2.

SR2 is for screwing around (going on rampages, cop chases, using crazy weapons, etc.)
GTA4 is when you care about the storyline and want to play the campaign
GTA4 is fun for screwing around too, but the guns aren't really fun to play with as much as SR2 and the car handling is as suited for high-speed cop chases (unless you've played Gran Turismo all your life and have it pretty much down... bad comparison, but you get my point).

I'll say this as someone who owns both games--Saints Row 2 is my pick.
Why?
[+]TONS of stuff to do, even after you beat the main story
[+]It is essentially a humorous version of GTA IV, minus Roman (Though, minus Roman should be another plus...)
[+]Memorable characters
[+]Money is NOT necessary in this game, it just makes things slightly easier
However, there were some annoying bits:
[-]The graphics were about...20% better than Saints Row's graphics.
[-]The game occasionally froze on my 360, even after it being installed to my HD.
I'm not going to dissect Grand Theft Auto IV, as I really don't see a need to; it has all the things Grand Theft Auto 3 had, and a similar story--except, this time, you're Russian. Though, it did have Katt Williams, which gives it +30% in my book.
Basically, the game speaks for itself. Both games are good, however... I prefer Saints Row 2's lightheartedness to Grand Theft Auto IV's melodrama. Both games are quite good, and quite worth playing, though.
