I just started doing Coop with my younger Brother and it´s damn awesome! SR3 was great but SR2 is just pure awesomeness in all directions! heck tons of activies, i got into a truck and started a mission to steal cars and it was hilarious! we also did Fuzz where we pretended to be cops and smack the heck out of all minor law breakers, destruction derby, fight club, crowd control & septic avenger (awesome!) and so on and on and i wonder why SR2 was not much more successful.
I just spend like 8 hours the last 3 days driving and walking, the city is not that huge but damn there is tons of nice places to see like a University Campus, few Malls, residential areas, suburbs, ghetto, movie theater and a museum! its like a second life literally.
I also love the AI, it´s so random and so hilarious because i seen tons of crazy stuff just going on for no apparent reason, i also seen npcs sitting and using a laptop, talking in the phone, gardening, drunk, chatting, fishing, a couple hugging themselves in bench, guys doing drugs, dancing, drinking, using computers, arguing, fighthing... gosh i have not seen this type of behavior before... not even in GTA4.
I also like how there is so much stuff to break, i been shotting at random stuff and seems to be just fun to shot at misc props just to see them break.
This game is just a Master piece, although i did like SR3 a lot the only better aspect SR3 has over SR2 overall is the Animations which was a MASSIVE improvement because in SR2 they looked like dough animation and very very unrealistic. SR3 animations and movement behavior feels real and natural, thats the only thing i preffer over SR2, also SR3 city feels a bit dull and dead... the npc´s just don´t react or do as much.
Also i noticed i could go back into using single firearm weapon or dual wield in SR2 back and forth, i wonder why this was not included in SR3/4.
The clothing system in SR2 is just superior, like being able to use jackets, shirts, underwear and even over the shirt all at the same time, but SR3 had much better and cooler stuff to wear, so ill take SR3 clothing variety over SR2 system in this regard.
Also the balance between sillyness and Seriousness is just perfect in SR2, it is silly enough to be realistic while SR3 was just about Tolerable in that regard for me, i tried to get into SR4 in 360 with a friend and the gamplay was really good, but i could not get into the story... it´s just way too silly for me.
What is the waves glitch? i would like to try that out.
