I think Grand Theft Auto IV is better; Rockstar did an amazing job. Saints Row 2 seems too mexican-styled ganster- like (and I'm not racis or however you spell it, its just that) and the graphics on the t.v. commercial looked bad and seems to be getting women, and racing. Gta IV, more options than a library has in books. My choice would be GTA IV (I already have it but I'd buy it again if asked to get Saints Row 2).
