I'm having more fun in Saints Row 2 than GTAIV. There are far more "funny" moments in SR2.
For example, my character - the overweight Kabuki Quantum Fighter is now wearing a pink Borat swimsuit. It's hilarious to walk up to a passerby/gang member and preforming Smooth Criminal on them. The suit leaves nothing to the imagination.
The game doesn't take itself seriously. But it's seriously fun.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
