never liked gta? try saints row
for some reason this game is very addictive. the game play appears to be about the same, yet it feels sooo much better. the vivid colors and good graphics probably help. i am a bit of a graphics whore. so story is nothing new. good guys, well, maybe it should be the least bad, bad guys, try to take back thier turf from rival gangs, blah, blah, blah... the voice acting is phenomenal, the cut scenes are entertaining for atleast 2 views, then you can y button past them (thank you volition, it really pisses me off when developers make you watch the cut scenes over and over again). the controls are pretty easy to use. standard fare for a game like this (unless youve played dead rising. whats up with the no strafing?) and i would imagine you can customize the controls if you dont like the default settings. i wouldnt know, i like the defaults.
the missions, while not being the most varied, are still fun and the level system to them makes them harder as they go up (unlike prey, where cherokee was the same as easy, only no health. which didnt matter anyway, since you never really die).
i havnt tried the multi yet, but have read there is some lag. luckily a patch is allready underway. and that where volition messed up. QUIT RELEASING GAMES BEFORE THEY ARE DONE. WHY IS THERE A PATCH BEING MADE FOR A GAME BEFORE ITS ACTUALLY RELEASED?
so, to make this kinda short, its a fun game. i feel as though i have to reiterate, I DID NOT LIKE GTA. none of them. but, this game just feels different. its one of those intangibles. you will know it when you play it...
thanks, and i hope you liked my review... now bite me, im going to freckle **** to but a fist in my mouth....
