Quit stepping, Saints Row 2 screenshots emerge

Lock your doors and close your blinds, because Saints Row is back! Jeux-France posted seven (supposed) new screenshots from THQ's Saints Row 2 and it's looking mighty fine. If these are legit, the graphics in this sequel and overall art direction seem to be focused more towards the realistic end of the spectrum, ever so slightly leaving behind the semi-cartoony feel of the first. Which of course we can't complain about. Curious Saints Row fanboys focus your attention after the jump to check out the seven new (supposed) Saints Row 2 screenshots. Bang bang!

Really enjoyed SR, I thought it excelled in some areas compared to the GTA series.

I'll definitely be picking up SR2, regardless of whether or not I've got GTA4.

Although I'm definitely getting that too :op

With all the experience gained developing Saint's Row, I'm sure Volition can pull it out the bag for the second one.

If you mix most colors of the spectrum together (not all of them, because that will be black), you'll get brown in a lot of situations. Even those with tons of colors otherwise. I think it's a pretty moot point.

Or at least really dark and close to black, maybe even that might technically be a brown lol

Saints Row is am amazing game that fixed alot of what was wrong with GTA and did alot of new things that will sure be copied in GTA IV.

I am personally looking forward to both games. It should be interesting as hell to see what develops.

I didn't like the GTA that i played when it first came to xbox, so I never looked back, but this game was REAL cool to me, and I spend hours and hours on it.

OMG! Screenshots from an early, conceptional build that I can base the unreleased complete game on even though they'll probably have little to do with the end product. Hype ... good, sometimes, yes, but in this case, kids just say no.

Say whatever about GTA4. I think Saints Row 2 will be way better than GTA4. I say recruiting a mass gang to take over an entire city is WAY more fun than running around as a russian immigrant. 2008 will not come fast enough.

I couldnt agree more with Cole making a gang and picking your own colours and then killing some saint scum with your friends over XBOX LIVE is way more fun than running around by yourself...lonley...bored....no1 2 talk 2......and WANTING SAINTS ROW 2 :P
