Snesboy said: Saint's Row tried to be better than San Andreas and FAILED EPICALLY.
All Saint's Row is nothing but pointless violence and "gang-banging" which is where every GTA clone fails. GTA has to do with the Mafia, not the "streets". San Andreas was slightly different in that respect but it wasn't about killing people, it was about seeking revenge.

Few logical mistakes.
First SR1 is not the same as SR2 just because they are in the same series. Every indication shows that SR2 will be a marked improvement.
Second, San Andreas was one of (if not "the") best GTA game so its no surprise that SR1 wasn't as good. Conversely, GTA IV is very much a mediocre GTA game which, given point #1, could easily be outdone by SR2...only time will tell for sure.
Finally, you should probably check to see if you're actually in the majority before trying to pull off a "/thread" or at least make a valid point. You achieved neither.
@topic,
It depends entirely on the measure of success that is to be used. If you go by sales or review scores then probably not since both of those were hyper-inflated. If you go by the opinion of the masses then it has a shot, they just have to deliver on what they've shown so far.
