Saints Row 2 Arriving Aug. 26

Yesterday it was announced that Saints Row 2 will hit the streets on Aug 26. Arriving on both PS3 and Xbox 360, the game picks up a few years after the first Saints Row ended.

Saints Row 2 will feature online co-op through the entire single-player campaign and an open world competitive multiplayer mode. It will also feature new vehicles, new locations and more options when it comes to player customization.

I was a huge fan of the first Saints Row, and the second one sounds pretty awesome. The real question is, How will it fare against Grand Theft Auto 4? I know that I will make room for both in my game budget.
