[size=9][color=black][center] Like to point out that GTA pretty much stole the whole car theft concept from a playstation game called "Driver 2" the difference is GTA created an entire free roaming world that not only revolutionized, but flat out created a new genre in its own respect. Saint's Row, a game that pretty much takes everything GTA is or going back further Driver 2, shooting games, rpgs and everything else the Grand Theft Auto serious is built on, something a whole slew of sub category rip offs tried to exploit GTA's success. The difference here is that Saints Row actually accomplishes this goal on expanding the genre, while building upon it with next gen gameplay ploys such as ragdoll physics, different types of rendering and textures, and a much more detailed alive world that couldn't have been accomplished on the previous generation of games. Chances are though once GTA enters the next gen Saints Row wont stand a chance, though the next gen GTA wont actually be out until next year doesnt mean you shouldnt enjoy Saints Row now to get your GTA fix. Sure Saints Row copies the basic story layout, the car jacking theme, the way missions are set up, radio stations, and basically everything Grand Theft Auto is, at least it did it right, which instead of resenting this game for copying GTA we should view it as a tribute to a game that revolutionized the way games are played today.
