GTA started the sandbox/free roam genre. It should be left there. If someone claims SR, or any other sandbox game is a "gta clone" they're just ignorant fools.

It would be the same as calling Cod, halo,or any other FPS, a Doom/Wolfenstein ( which ever game started the FPS genre ) clone

Saints Row is its own game. Just because its the same genre as another game does not make it a clone. Every game exists in a genre that was created by a completely different game. If SR is a clone, It would mean that every game in existence is a straight clone.

Its very funny to me because usually a game that is called a clone, the game that its supposedly cloning is actually a clone too.

Like when people say every game that features a cover system is a clone of Gears Of War, when games where using cover systems 10 years before GOW even existed. Any military shooter is now called a COD clone, even though Cod is actually a clone of 50 million other FPS & military shooters before it.

A clone of another game that is also actually a clone. CloneCeption?

BTW the original Saints Row also introduced the cell phone mechanic that was also used in GTA4

I wasn't calling it a clone, I made this thread because i'm sick of Saint's Row being bashed for a 'clone'.
On the 'GTA Clone' logic that would make:

• Uncharted a Tomb Raider clone.
• All FPSs Doom clones (as you said).
• Splinter Cell a Metal Gear Clone.

I hate the term 'clone'.
Also I know some people who somehow consider Assassin's Creed a Hitman clone.

Mafia II, I know the ending was confusing but it kept on your mind for a while which I liked.

A Few Suggestions:

• Be able to make user reviews look like normal Gamespot ones, so have the ability to type cetain things in and they show up as 'the good' and 'the bad' and add game medals.
• Be able to add images.
• Go back to scores of 0.1s, starting at 0.1 and ending at 10. 1.0 for Big Rigs is extremely overrating the game.
• Comments for user reviews.

Loading Times but the game is epic.

Also I think the standard cars are underrated, they still look great, it's jus that the premium cars look amazing.

Hard Copy, you can use it in multiple consoles, it comes with that manual, it makes your collection look bigger, usually takes up less space.

:(

All games tend to be similar to another game in the same genre so this does not bother me.HadronVulture
