The wackiness is subtler. It's mostly ridiculous side activities like insurance fraud or spraying people with sewage as well as action movie like missions in a mostly realistic setting, not like SR3 and beyond which goes like LMAOOOO LOOK HOW WACKY WE ARE XD
Also better customization (aside from the character creator itself) and a more interesting map that has everything.

2 has better customization by a small margin, and you can be a real dirty ass hood rat
3 is the best overall in the whole franchise though, it just needed better gang management shit like 2

the multiplayer duh p.s. i ruled it.

This
SR2 idea of "whacky" is "replace tattoo ink with radioactive waste" or "get a gang leader to crush his girlfriend to death with a monster truck" or "get into a swordfight with a samurai then cheat by shooting him"
They're definitely whacky things but somewhat grounded in reality
Then SR3 comes along and decides the first real mission is going to be jumping out of a plane, opening a parachute, removing that parachute to skydive through another plane via the cockpit, killing everyone inside, then catching the person you previously abandoned from the parachute to proceed to then use another parachute to land safely. Then a zombie apocalypse.
It's simply too much.

4 is wacky
3 is the logical escalation of events given what went on in 2, there's no fucking way that world could have been taken seriously

as a sucessor to sr2 it may seem like a letdown but sr3/4 are some of the most genuine fun I've had playing sandbox games, while still fondly remembering sr2 respectively
Gabriel Young
variety of civilians, they had funny shit to say, and did different things like skateboarding or playing a guitar, SR3 and 4 just had average aged people that were just one dimensional characters that exist for you to use your "wacky" weapons on.

Saints Row 2 is the best sandbox crime sim I've ever played.
