TheKoalition.com: Although Grand Theft Auto IV failed to "wow" many long time fans of the series, some may think that the rival sandbox title Saints Row 2 instantly took the crown as the best criminal open world experience. Even leading up to Saints Row 2's release I was preaching how they just might out do Grand Theft Auto and take the crown. However now that I got the chance to play Saints Row 2, I feel that anyone who thinks that Saints Row 2 did a better job than Grand Theft Auto 4 is just saying it because it's a cliche thing to say. Grand Theft Auto IV to me remains the king of the open world sandbox genre and I will explain why I feel Saints Row 2 is no where near it's level.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
gtaiv is pretty darn good to run around in. But the mission sucked, and guns too, also the money too and clothing too.
Some trophies were fun to get, but I still didn't feel like playing missions or watching cut scenes.
saints row 2 is much more fun than gta 4
but if you look deeply at gta 4,you'r going to see tons of wasted potential,from the awesome city,to the amazing character,gta 4 truly feels a next gen game but gameplay in gta 4 was heavy,realistic,unresponsive,u ncomplete etc..
saints row 2 is like a younger brother to san andreas, so much fun,lots of things to do,great voice acting,awesome soundtracks,amazing missions,very good shooting mechanics,I recommend every ps3/360 owner to buy sr2,ignor sites,play it yourself.trust me,you'll not be disappointed.period
if gta 4 has awesome gameplay and more things to do,it will destroy saints row 2
Why the previous GTA's are better than GTA IV...
Fair enough the story isnt all that amazing, but its still good.
the multiplayer is soo sick which is why gta iv is still in the top 5 games played online on the xbox
SR2 didnt even make the top 20, no one plays that which says something..
most people who get 'bored' of gta only play 1 multiplayer gametype.
variety in a game makes a difference and GTA has that
SR2 and the SR series are always second to GTA..
end of story
sales figures show that
I could not disagree more, i have been saying the exact opposite for weeks now, the first one hour of siants row is more fun than the entire campaign of gta 4.
