Comments about Saints Row as an Alternative to Grand Theft Auto
Less serious than grand theft auto, with a bigger emphasis on being wacky.
This is likely what GTA would look like if making the game fun was R*'s top priority. SR2 can be kinda clunky, but it's the closest "GTA Clone". Meanwhile, SR3 goes balls to the wall with all the cliches.
the same mission system and same open world, customization etc.
