This games' storyline is not to be taken seriously,the SR series scream GTA SA to me.Not in story/campaign wise ofcourse.But the fact you can do so much free roaming but SR is more crazy it's jam packed with fun little gadgets to enjoy.When I buy SR I don't so much think of myself,I'd ask my aquitances to see if they were going to buy this game because this is a game for fun and to basicly piss about with your friends,If this game didn't have co-op then I wouldn't have bought it.
