Saints Row 2 was part of PS+, decided to give it a shot this week.
This is some of the best fun I've EVER had in a sandbox title. I honestly can't believe this game only has a metascore of like 81 when shit like GTA4 has 98.
Played a Saints Row game for the first time this week

SR games do fun by the bucket load. Not always the most polished, bug free or high brow but they make you smile by what they allow you to do and try.

Fun is no longer the main reason we play video games,I know,it's crazy but it is how it is...

The thing that gets me about Saints Row 2 is that it had pretty shitty controls, both on foot and in vehicles, but it followed through on the whole B-movie schtick so convincingly that I couldn't put it down.
The thing that still bothers me is that the story tries so hard to be cheap and emotional. Even for a B-movie, SR2 is pretty fucking lame.
On PC it was made so much worse by the fact that the port done by CD Projekt was so bad. It was one of the worst cases of optimization I can remember seeing. It took a PC upgrade before I bothered to finish it.
... But even with all of that, I still enjoyed it a lot :p
Thinking about it reminds me of how much I missed Johnny Gat in Saints Row 3. I don't see any reason why you'd take him out of the picture.

The Saints Row games never did much for me. It was fun for a short while but that's about it. It's not my kind of humour and its technical shortcomings also didn't help much. I didn't care for the characters and the story and i never bothered getting the third one. It's all about GTA and Sleeping Dogs for me.

You should definitely check out Saints Row 3 then. They truly embraced the humor of the series with that game.

Best open world games for me this gen. SR3 is also great, but doesn't have as many activities as SR2. The only game close to them was RDR.

I'll tell you what, never before have I played a game where I was paid to impersonate a police officer and commit acts of police brutality in front of a camera for TV.
Break up the prostitute uprising? Use this flamethrower for bonus points? lol ok
The missions where you drive a hooker and her client around while they get busy in the back seat are hilarious. Some of that back seat banter had me in stitches.

Moonwalker I have to say I agree. I played all three and never finished any but I do want to finish 3rd. I think third is the best so far but the humor and back story I can't really get into. First and foremost I don't like the idea of being in a gang. That shit strictly turns me off because I thing gang members are punks who can't survive on their own and thats just not me. So the Saints Row games while more fun that GTAIV I still prefer grand theft auto over them because of the one man vs the world nature.

I always loved the pornstar security missions. I was pretty damn disappointed with the selection in SR3, they were pretty cheap in comparison.
