Beyond the obvious, are Saints Row and GTA:SA all that similar?

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, the mechanical shit is pretty similar, but I'm digging SR more than I dug prior GTA titles, so I'm wondering if there's a lot of comparison to them beyond the superficials.

Not really, they are pretty similar. Except for the extensive character creation of Saints Row.

And the "activities" in Saints Row sucks. One where you have to get run over by cars and shit for insurance fraud? Give me a fucking break. :n:

[Kane Knight]

Insurance Fraud is hilarious.

[Ninti the Mad]

Saints Row is good if you can find it for 20 bucks or less.

Saints Row online is the goods also, "Don't Let them bitches own you!"
Full of cheaters though so...
Also the story in that game pwned

Ending was pretty upsetting.
