The first Saints Row game rocked. Yes, it copied GTA in many ways but also brought new stuff to the table such as activities, a living world (even though GTA has now surpassed) and complete madness. The characters in SR were not bad at all with many of them entertaining (such as Johnny). With Saints Row 2 nearly upon us, Volition and THQ are going on record to say that they are happy that GTAIV took a story and character driven approach as SR2 will be "tongue in cheek", over-the-top, and silly". I still cannot get over the activities trailer.

He said that Saints Row 2 will instead be about "tongue-in-cheek ... silly, over-the-top gameplay."
Farrell said, "...They had gone this way on the branch, we've gone the other."
