Would You Rather ... The Other Guys Edition

In our continuing effort to bring you fresh and interesting content, X3F presents Would You Rather ... a weekly feature that asks you the hard questions. The point? If you had to choose one or the other, which would you go for?
Now that we got that other game out of our system, we look to the future of sandbox adventures. Two titles stick out in our minds as potential GTA-killers but we're torn on which one to grab. Pretending you'd only get one of the following titles, would you go for the sequel to a pretty solid GTA-clone from look, feel and execution in Saints Row 2 or the sequel of a more original GTA-clone in the form of 1940s based Mafia II?
Feel free to share the reasons for your vote in the comments. We'll share the results of the poll during the next edition of Would You Rather ... which hits X3F every Wednesday.
Last weeks WUR results can be find after the jump ... steal this info!
Is there anything to say about last week? No. People want Grand Theft Auto IV for the single-player campaign, first and foremost. Can't say we blame you! The multiplayer is a ton of fun but that single-player experience is what made this series what it is today!

The first Mafia was hella fun and Saints Row wasn't anything special, so let's see....

Never played either.
So I picked base on the picture provided.
I like the atmosphere better in Mafia.

The other game is still in my system so I cannot vote ;)

Saints Row as a very good game, and Saints Row 2 is sounding even better. I don't think you can go wrong with it, where Mafia and Mafia II is somewhat less known.

i really enjoyed mafia, especially the story and how it ended but I spent more time with Saints Row. Both were great. So hard to choose!

As I've spoken out about the horrible nature of GTA4, I'm very much looking forward to SGR2, not only over Mafia, but over all sandbox games including GTA4.
Can't wait to get more Mayhem and Pimp missions with my RPG. Saints Row>GTA

I'd get both and burn them for being so terrible. Pwned!

Had to go with Saints Row 2 for the sheer fact of friends working at
Volition...I think that's why I bought the first game...

Yeah, Mafia 1 was hugely fun and overall an awesome game, I'm really looking forward to Mafia 2
Homer 918 @ Apr 30th 2008 4:48PM
Neither.

I picked Mafia 2 because Mafia 1 was amazing. I played it for PC back in the day.

Saints Row 2 all the way...
If anything, Liberty City is just a detour vacation destination on my way back home to Stilwater.
Saints Row was such a fun game!
I never played the original Mafia, but Mafia 2 does look interesting.
Also why are we not including This Is Vegas? Sure the game is made by Midway but it is still looking promising. Early previewers are saying the game is shaping up very nicely...
