What got everyone into saints row?

It may seem weird ... but what actually brought me to SR2 was the Mafia game (the first one). I really like playing it's "Free Ride" mode to roam around the city and create mayhem like shoot random people until my notoriety goes up enough and then evade the cops or block a road with my car to create a traffic jam and then throw grenades and molotov cocktails into the whole mess.

Anyway, I wanted to try something new but which would give me the same freedom, so I started to look for other action games with an open-world feature ... that brought me to the GTA series, but I didn't enjoy it as much as Mafia so I went on with my search and came across Saints Row 2, which I really loved. It has so much potential for random mayhem, great activities (FUZZ and Septic Avenger are hilarious) and some fun weapons (like the Ronin sword, the shock paddes or the fire extinguisher).

I then pre-ordered SR3 as soon as it came aroud, but felt kind of disappointed when playing it. It is good, but most of the features I love about SR2 didn't make it back into SR3. So I'm still playing way more SR2 than SR3.
 
after playing sr2 and loving it, i decided to get 2 and 3 for pc. i have. and with idolninjas mods in 2... (for some reason gos wont work in 3) i had lots of fun. i have sr4 on preorder for steam (so yes, im merely waiting for release day so i can play it) to be honest, im looking foreward to the mech most of all. :3 i always wanted a freeroaming mechsuit in-game since i used the mod in gtaIV. and im super excited to see what idol and volition are all planning for it. :D
 
I got Saints Row cause I read good things about it. Plus I couldn't find my AC plug for my PS2 at the time. Best damn thing that could happen to me. 7 years later still haven't found it.
 
Yahtzee's review plus this trailer:


I still think that's one of the most brilliant videogame trailers ever created and perfectly sums up SR2.

Now unless the mouse that was runnin' a muck in my APT at the time was named Gabe, I have no clue Whatchu talkin' 'bout Eye Zis. Even When I killed the mouse and Looted his body I found no cord. Drop rates on mice suck.

EDIT: After a google search I think I have a General Idea who this Gabe dude you might be talkin' about. Though I have never heard of this fellow.
