Saint's row brahs, need your advises (but not the wrong advises)

[Margzz]

Got Saints Row the Third on PS3 for christmas, ****ing incredible game, its everything GTAIV should've been imo. I've played it for a few hours, done a few assassinations, robbed a few vehicles, bought some property etc, but nothing too serious.

As I got it on PS3, I also have the free copy of Saints Row 2 but I currently have not played it. Before I get any further into Saints Row The Third, would it be a good idea for me to play the 2nd one first? Or should I play the 2nd one after I've finished the third?

Ideally I'd like to get the maximum amount of enjoyment out of both games.

There is a story that kind of continues to SR3, so if you have the time i would suggest playing SR2 first.
