+ Perfect Difficulty. Never gets impossible (like in GTA) but never gets so easy that ou fall asleep.

+ Takes everything good about GTA, leaves out everything frustrating about GTA. Adds some new cool feautures

+ Excellent Gangstory with maybe the best voiceacting of the year.

+ Loads and loads of high quality music and radiostations. And the overall sound of weapons, vehicles and stuff like that are really really sharp.

+ Really good graphics considering the scope and size of the game and no loadingtimes.

+ Embraces the Mature rating. You´ll find ALOT of references to sex, alot of partial nudity and loads and loads of excessive violence. All of them helps to create a more natural story for this setting.

+ Alot of different Multiplayer modes. some really creative ones !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Some serious Tearing-issues. Especially in cutscenes.

- Some other graphical glitches and occasional pop-ups. Also some rare  but serious slowdowns

- Taking itself maybe to serious at times. The story never feels quite as relaxed and aware of itself like the GTA stories.

- The city feels a bit "plastic" and without personality since its not really based on a big american city but more of a mix of alot of them.

- / + ?  No boats, planes, helis, bikes or anything else than just cars. This might be a huge turn-off for hardcore GTA players. But on the other hand Saints Row is not GTA4. Its Saints Row 1.
