It's also a sequel, of course, but to a game that never saw an appearance on PC. Second, while it lacks the conviction and emotional complexity of Rockstar's GTA IV, in many ways it's a hell of a lot more fun.
However, there's two reasons why this doesn't matter. From the driving to the narrative structure, from the animation as you pull someone from their car to glowing mission markers on the streets, the most generous, non-litigious word you could use would be "tribute". There's no escaping it, there's no point pretending otherwise. Saints Row 2 is, beyond any shadow of a doubt, a GTA clone. Enough damage racked up, the challenge was complete, and offered me level 2. The police keep coming, and I kept splattering them in the brown stuff until their cars careered of the road, and the officers lay drowned in the crap. I was tasked to reduce the property prices of an area for a corrupt real estate agent by coating the buildings, the cars and the people in gallons of faeces. Of the very many non-story tasks available in the sandbox world, the one that made me realise I love this revolting game was the septic tank challenge. We'll take a look at the multiplayer once the game arrives in Europe. I've had a copy for a while now, and below is Wot I Think of the single player game. The delay is apparently due to localisation, which seems odd for a months old console game. It doesn't reach Europe until the 30th January.
