For Some Reason

It looks to me like it's not displaying my review of Saints Row. So i will post it here. We already know what this game brings, some more GTA style of play to the table with new twists. We've seen it before, it's been done before and everything. However, this time around, this game offers things that GTA has failed to give over the past few years. ONLINE PLAY!!! And boy is it fun. I've only played online on my friends account and it is fun as a mother. Lol. Gameplay- Of course it takes from the GTA style of gameplay, but as far as gunplay goes, it has a system of it's own. Instead of actually "aiming" at an opponent (by which your cursor is dead set on him and you have to hold a button to keep it on him) this game gives you fulll 360 motion to play with. And is especially fun during car chases, we all know it's been hard trying to blind fire in ANY GTA game. The multiplayer is by far it's biggest asset, game's get a little laggy as far as how you can be killed with a pistol from almost a mile away, but other than that it has very good gameplay. Single player and Multiplayer. Graphics- Now, i would talk about how good the graphics are, but once you get into multiplayer it is sort of a different story. Single player graphics are astounding, a lot of detail go into the surroundings, as far as what you can blow up and what not. You cant blow up buildings, of course not, but the explosions on cars and other explosive objects > any GTA game, and that's a FACT. Never have i seen a more beautiful combustion happen in a video game before. Once you get to multiplayer that's when it loses it's shine, depending on what type of server you are on, the graphics can be hella choppy, and the animations slows down somewhat. Although i do enjoy laggy ragdoll physics, lol. Audio- I must say, the audio presentation is ALMOST better than GTA's. I love the voice acting in this game, and depending on your activity in the game, the announcer on certain radios will announce "oh hey i see the Saints are coming back" or something of that nature. The music is really cool, i am a fan of Hip-Hop and hearing Wu-Tang Clan is by far the most enjoyable ride. Ridin' in a 6'4 wit WTC playing, nothing better. Explosions sound beautiful, gun fire sounds completely real, and once again i must comment on the voice acting, very, very, very well done. Value- The replay value as far as single player is not so much good, it's only good if you are anchievement whore who likes to get 1000 gamerpoints in less than a day, lol. However, other than the achievements element, the single player is virtually useless after being completed. Reviewer's Tilt- This game is overall a very good attempt to cash in GTA, but in a way where the developers actually "TRIED" to set everything apart from the actual GTA series. It tries and accomplishes it's goal very well. I recommend this game to anyone who loves GTA and doesnt mind knock-offs.
