THQ on Thursday said the follow-up to its well received GTA-clone will land on Xbox 360 and PS3 this summer.

The announcement was made at the THQ Gamer's Day on Thursday, in which the company promised several new tweaks to heighten the experience of fictional goon-life.

"Saints Row set the bar for next-gen open-world development, earning praise for its unmatched customization, controls, and the genre's first-ever online multiplayer," said THQ executive veep Scott Guthrie, when the sequel was first announced last fall.

"The team at Volition, Inc. is leveraging invaluable experience gained on Saints Row to build Saints Row 2 into a game that sets the standard for combat, player freedom, customization, vehicle game-play, team-based co-op and the most compelling online open world experience to date."

The original Saint's Row, released on Xbox 360 in August 2006, was considered both a critical and commercial success selling more than 1 million copies.
