Saints Row surpasses GTA in many ways.

User Rating: 9.3 | Saints Row X360
Everything that GTA didn't have, this game does. I like the addition of creating your own character to your liking. Saints Row has so many side missions and extras to look for to keep you busy for many hours. The graphics are the best I have ever seen in this genre of games. Also, the explosions were awesome and each one seemed different, what could be better than seeing a rival gang member flying through the air while burning to death. The only real downfall is that your character doesn't talk, he's like a good little b!&*h that does as he's told and doesnt complain. The sound is pretty good, everything sounds realistic and hearing some of the things people say on the streets is hilarious. The music doesn't have as many popular songs as GTA but it has many styles to your liking. Rockstar finally has some worthy enough competition. Im looking forward to what GTA4 will bring to the table.
