but I never felt the need to purchase them. I have a few friends that liked Saint's Row 2 more than GTA4, but I myself prefer a more realistic game (physics, character development, story, etc.) In terms of over the top fun and customization (customizing character, hideouts and your gang was a lot of fun), Saint's Row is where it's at. The Third looks to have a lot of potential, and depending on the Co-op/Multiplayer, I may even purchase this one. But with everything else coming out this year I'll definitely be renting or buying it used at Gamestop first... unless the reviews say it's phenomenal.
