Greatest game ever. It has EVERYTHING. Car Chases, gunfights, sword fighting, tazers, planes, helicopters, prison escapes, etc.

So does GTA IV.

They're adding things, it'll be released with a large update, so it's more of a good thing.

"...Saints Row 2 is BETTER than Grand Theft Auto 4..."
"...It Understands what it's trying to be: Pure, Mindless fun..."
"It's up to games like Saints Row 2 to remind us that realism is an acceptable sacrifice if it means I get to throw old ladies into jet turbines."
"The only thing it doesn't have is your loving cousin ringing you up every 10 minutes to invite you on dinner dates..."
"When you put a child in a sandbox, you do not spend 3 hours explaining proper bucket and spade etiquette... ...Nor do you interrupt the child every 10 minutes to talk to his grandma on the phone..."
"Saints Row 2 shows a much better understanding of its audience, it is fully aware that most gamers are richardheads, and if you give them any kind of freedom their first instinct will be to abuse it. If you give them guns, they will shoot old ladies. If you give them cars, they will run over old ladies. If you give them aircraft, they will ascend to the highest possible height and hurl themselves out onto old ladies, and if you give them customizable outfits, their first instinct will be to take off all their clothes and run around the streets hip-thrusting in the faces of old ladies."
"Not only does Saints Row 2 not stop you [from doing this], it keeps score. Every one of my examples has a minigame attached."

Basically, Yahtzee loves the game, and the only thing he actually stated he didn't understand (Noting he didn't say "Dislike") is the needing of respect gained from activities to do the missions.

Yuki, I have played Saints Row 2. I never said that I hated it. I said that you can't compare it to GTA 4. I don't know what the hell you're talking about when you say that the blood pools realistically in saints row 2. GTA has Euphoria, a great and long storyline, a city that changes realistically with the whether, great multiplayer, and better graphics. It all comes down to a small decision, Do you want realism and difficulty or Do you want fantastical and easy gameplay? Would you rather play a game where your enemies are weak, stupid, and afraid of you or one where you have to actually TRY to win a firefight. Slightly tactical gameplay, Gears of War style or simple run and gun.

with the whether

Whether? Whether what?

Oh and don't you dare bring Gears of War into this. You can't compare SR2 and Gears of War. It just doesn't work like that.

I'm almost 95% sure you have never ACTUALLY played Saints Row 2(See: A), and you're pursing an opinionated vendetta after a game, and you can't actually justify your arguments, so you're creating surreal facts and changing your point just to try and win the argument.

A: This justifies my case.
