Saints Row isn't anything more than a GTA clone that has been downgraded in most areas.
User Rating: 7.6 | Saints Row X360
It's hard to explain Saints Row. Some might argue that it has gameplay that may not be original, but that doesn't mean it's not fun. Yet some say that the gameplay is rehash of GTA and simply doesn't live up to its standards. But the reality is that Saints Row lies in the middle. Saints Row starts with a player you can customize who joins a gang. I'm not really going to spoil the story much. The dialogue is pretty good, but then again, not as good as GTA. It has humor, but sometimes it is just being forced. The gameplay is good, but it's not innovative. It is like GTA, and makes some obvious improvements such as a nice aiming system rather than lock-on. However, there isn't as much as depth as GTA has. No planes, helicopters, boats, or motorcycles you can drive. The activities have also taken a downfall with there being a much less amount. The map is much bigger than any GTA map yet. The visuals are enhanced with the power of the 360, yet there are many glitches. The highway randomly dissapears, and cars pop in. The draw distance, however is excellent. Saints Row simply can't beat GTA, but if you're looking for something to last you until GTA IV comes out, then this is it.
