Saint's Row 2

[matt]

The first Saint's Row was a pretty ordinary sandbox game and seemed like an underdeveloped and half assed attempt by developers to come up with a GTA clone.

Saint's Row 2 however is a whole heap of fun and probably shits all over GTA IV from a great height mainly because Rockstar went all grey and serious with their latest instalment and seemed to forget that most people play videogames because they want to enjoy themselves. Sure, Saint's Row 2 isn't exactly pushing any boundaries in the originality stakes, but it's silly, over the top, excessively violent and a shed load of fun.
