Saints Row

I am sure it was good for what is was back then, but it has major flaws in my opinion. First off, some of the obstacles in the main challenge are hard to the point where it becomes ridiculous, let alone challenging. There's nothing wrong with challenging, but I shouldn't be the one to drive AND shoot at the same time while trying to destroy a truck carrying a trailer of cars. Then again, maybe that's why they save the hardest for last. I just think that compared to the third game, the challenges, though doable, were not always fair. My skepticism could also be from the fact that I played the 3rd game first, so I know a damn good game when I see one when it comes to the Saints franchise.

I am a big GTA fan. I love everything about Grand theft auto except the graphics. But what i don't like is GTA copycats. They are usually boring, dull, and just trying to make a name for itself. But Saints row is just different. Sure it is very very similar to San andreas but u have to admit, there are some features in the game that are quite original. Here are the pros and cons

Pros: Great map and GTA like experience - Graphics are pretty good - Weapons are just great and realistic - Missions and activities are usually fun - Great voice acting and cast - pretty good storyline - Characters are interesting - Great sound

Cons: Missions get a little too repetitive at times, not much creativity to the mission design - Lots of glitches - No blood or gore to add to the fun - Lacks a good ending

A good entry point into the world of saints row which admittedly does eventually become odd this ground level game is perfectly enjoyable as a gangster experience so to speak even if it's fairly generic

Saints Row is a fun game to play, if your a fan of GTA The beginning of the story is that there are three gangs meet up and somehow began a shootout, until Julius rescues you from one of The Vice King gang member.

The good: Has great weapons You can create your own person (that's just a man only) Variety of cars to choose or steal The storyline are great Xbox Live game activities are awesome There are 4 gangs and you can only join one and thats The 3rd Street Saints. There are a variety of clothes you can choose from The Bad: You can't create a girl. You can't choose a gang or create a gang. There's not enough clothes to choose from in your own desire.

The Ugly (Thats very bad): Your player dives like a dummy crash testers! Too many glitches. Some Online players can cheat on Live quite easily. Your player doesn't speak much. (similar to GTA III)

This game is really the start of a wonderful game series. As the first Saints Row it is a perfect re-invention of the sandbox genre. 10/10!
