THQ recently confirmed to MCV that Saints Row II will be available to purchase from European stores on August 29, 2008.

The sequel to Saints Row will be released on the PlayStation 3 for the price of £49.99, whilst the Xbox 360 gets a cheaper price of £44.99 and the PC version will be available for £34.99.

Earlier in the month, THQ informed us that the US version of Saints Row 2 would be available on August 26, so it's good to see that Europeans are receiving the game within a respectable timeframe compared to their North American counterpart.

    I don't think I will even be buying Saints Row 2. It's just a GTA rip off to me and this piece of trash of a game should have just stayed on the 360.

    Saints Row = trash. GTA is the king of sandbox.

    Am I the only one here who actually thought Saint's Row was a really great game?  Okay sure it is GTA rip off, but it was the first next-gen sandbox style game and looked great in my opinion.  Have any of you actually PLAYED the game?  Sounds like a bunch of fan boy ranting to me...

    I haven't got to play Saints Row but if THQ has the same pricing scheme in the US, I won't bother.

    i Never played the game and might try it by renting it or something. It looks like a gta type game and would be very hard to try and overcome a game as powerful as any gta. Even the gta1 with the nice sky view.....man I think ill go play that right now.

    Played and got about half way through Saints Row, utter garbage, got distracted from the game way too easy.

    THQ really should have saved their money and NOT released this on PS3. I feel kind of bad seeing as how their putting forth all this effort, and I'd never buy it. Shame. I'd rather have DAH:Big Willy Unleashed for the PS2 instead. But, if it doesn't do well, then they have no one to blame but themselves. Not many PS3 owners played the first one since they cancelled it.

    Saint's Row did a lot of things better than GTA and actually made R* stand up and take note.  If there was no Saint's Row then we would have got GTA: San Andreas 1.5 with little to no upgrades.  We need more sandbox games and more games make better games.  Both GTA and Saint's Row deserve to be bought and played.  Funny how it sold so well if it was such crap.  Learn to have fun playing games and not be a mindless fanboy.  We already have to listen to the fanboys talk about which console is better and now we have to listen to which sandbox game is better.  Give us real gamers a break!!!

    no sandbox game is going to compare to gta III, 1st of its kind, greatest of all time, its like comparing the newer james bond games to 007 goldeneye, you just cant do it
