Saints Row 2 Gang Leader Interview
The video below is of the THQ Gamers’ Day 08 Saints Row 2 Gang Leader Interview, it is about the lead designer giving the scoop on how to take over the city from rival gangs by drug trade, by violence and breaking them down piece by piece.

What we like was a comment sent in saying this –

Is it just me or did the developers get their hands on GTAIV gameplay files and copy everything they could, cheaply. Main character voice hmm who else did that? Three choices for each sex real shocking probably couldn’t possibly fit more in. “saints row 2 has the best customization of any game right now, you can choose male or female, change your clothes …” shocking, really. Helicopters, one word – inventive, and really who wants to control half that’s just ridiculous. Ambient and active gameplay? Are you serious douche bag it’s an open world game you don’t need to reiterate to sound legitimate. “the complexity of co op is far beyond any other game single player co op or otherwise” - ..learn English, and if that were coherent it would still be an outlandish lie, good job saints row 2 you’ll probably sell under 500k copies, good choice releasing it right on top of your biggest, and better competitor.

Watch the video then tell us what you think.
