I loved the first one in every way, but I hope this one has REAL co-op this time, lol.
The engine was pretty damn good, what were you smokin' when you played?

I think so based on the story...
But it can also be some "weird" twist in the story and that SR2 is in the 80's |

big titles mostly fuck up these days. On the other side I don't think rockstar got the heart to make it bad. |

Hmm a sequel in the same city is really strange (and disappointing imo). I think that never happened with any GTA-clone so far. Half-assed titles designed for PSP don't count.

my best bet will be on that

| Quote: | Checking the old inbox today revealed that someone random had dumped some fresh scans from a German magazine named GamePro in the tray. It’s all in German, but the anonymous tipster also included some translations, which was jolly kind of him. Hit the jump for all the gossip.
In bullet point form then, here’s the best bits from the article:
* The game is set fifteen years after the original, and many areas have changed
* Planes and boats will be needed to access some areas
* There are now helicopters too
* The graphics have been improved, with no more pop-ups as you stroll around
* The weather effects are “impressive”, such as heat effects, rain and so on
* When it rains, pedestrians get their umbrellas out
* Other characters can be used as human shields
* If you are being chased, you can shoot your pursuer in the nether-regions. He will fall to the floor, and other pedestrians will gather round to check on him, thus meaning you can get away that much easier
* The “Freak Generator” is the internal name for the new clothing palettes. Every character in the game can now be customised, so your bros and hoes can be clad out in anything you like
* The developers have listened to the wants of fans, and will now include “mini-achievements” for special stunts that occur
* You can use limpet mines on cars, walls and even the backs of your enemies
* If you decide to car surf this time around, you’ll need to maintain your balance with the analog stick
* THQ want to give Volition enough time to finish the game this time around, so no rushing it out onto store shelves here. With GTA IV on the way, it needs to be damn good
* There will now be a co-op mode, by Xbox Live or a local network
* The boxout on image four talks of the ability to upgrade and improve the place where you’ll be living |

Ok, its official, I'm looking forward to this game more than GTAIV. With all these improvements and the impeccable gamepad control(something that, IMHO, GTA never nailed) and the fact that rockstar is going hd for first time whereas volition is just getting better at it, I'd hafta go with the Saints on this one.
Plus, they got Insurance fraud. How is GTA gonna top that?
