It's just very easy to be cynical about a title which is so blatantly a rip-off of another. I think it'll sell pretty well, tbh. But the biggest selling GTA-a-like this Christmas will be GTAIV. Plenty of scope for further sales as Chrimbo approaches and new kids get new consoles. I don’t think people ‘hate’ it.

They hate Saints Row because its 'too much like GTA' or 'trying to be GTA' yet how many FPS's are there at the moment? Do people hate them cos they are 'too much like' Wolfenstein 3D? Geez. I don’t get people.

Top 3 in that week's sales charts or I'll eat my liquorice hat.

Without wishing to be a harbinger of doom, I think the vast majority of people will be far too concerned with the likes of Gears 2, Resistance 2, etc, to be bothered about the like of SR2. Shame, though, because I reckon it looks really good. In October?

Thing is, and this is one of those niggling "gamer" feelings that creeps up on you and hits you on the back of the head with a loud clangy frying pan of surprise, I think he might actually be right. Specially after that last trailer that aired. People actually will buy Saints Row 2 in their droves. Like sheep. Just you watch. Bless ‘im.
