Saint's row is a GTA clone but improves on areas GTA lacked.
It has the same gameplay experience you will get with GTA but improves on areas such as aiming is a lot better and doesn't have the stupid auto aim feature like GTA had, respect is a feature that San Andreas had and it was good but in this it goes into a greater detail and gives you more choices. Such as you can go around killing rival gang members, doing side misson, and doing main missons. If you reach a certain ammount of respect you can do a main misson.
Saint's row also has a very fun online system where you can create gangs, customize charaecters and increase your trueskill. The online modes consist of: Gangster Brawl a game type where you try to get the most ammount of kills before the time runs out or you hit a certain ammount to win, Team Gangster Brawl which is gangster brawl but with teams in this gametype you can also play gang matches in this gametype, Protect the pimp which is a gametype where one side trys to defend the pimp at all costs and one side is the hitmen which try to take out the pimp for good it is my personal favorite gametype. The only problem i had with the online is it is very buggy i tryed for an hour to connect to a game and every time i would get dropped or it would never start. It is also laggy when playing with the max amount of players but a patch is coming out for all those things.
Graphics 9/10
GTA always had medicore graphics because the enviorments where so big and immersive, saints row has amazing graphics everything in this big and immersive world is all detailed. The cutscenes look horrible though...
Sound 10/10
A very big sound track with music for everyones taste, the voice acting is also very good. A cool feature in this game is you can buy songs and put it on your mp3 player (in the game) and listen to it when your walking down the street.
Value 10/10
This is a sandbox game after all but saint's row has even more replay value with the inclusion of online multiplayer and hard achievements.
tilt 9/10
One of the best xbox 360 games i've played the only problem is the buggy online. Buy or rent?:
BUY!!!
