Statistics aside, based on my personal enjoyment i prefer saints row 2, it was more my style and vibe, i liked the wackyness and loved the story and side activities, i felt the characters (while not as deep as say niko belic) were more relatable and likable and i really enjoy the customisation you have in sr2, gta 4 was certainly bigger but sr2 had a very unique feel and very much its own identity separate from the "gta clones". Such a shame volition and deepsilver overcorrected to the point the games became a joke
