Shooting,driving,customisation and thats just the first 15 minutes....buy this game now(its only £13)
When i first turned this game on i found myself in a very user friendly menu i knew what to click on and i wasnt confused (unlike GTA where you are just dropped straight into the game) so i clicked new game and began to play the first thing you have to do is create you character. You can choose from any race and make your character look however you want him to look. Naturally i tried to make my character awesome but if you want to you can make your character look like you or even just make him look plain ridiculous.
After you have made your character you watch a short cutscene introducing you to the four gangs of stillwater after this the saints recruit you into their gang and then you have to retake stillwater using a combination of guns,cars and money overall the single player campaign is excellent and there are lots of extra side missions you can play aswell.
After playing the campaign mode i ventured into online play where i was very dissapointed as there are many glitches and lots of lag also there are lots of so called standbyers* now ive played lots of other multiplayer games and ive never had problems with standbyers so i dont see why they cant stop this but ignoring all that theres great potential in the online play money for customisation isnt to easy to get so it keeps you playing and you can form a gang with your friends to compete against other gangs for top position in the leaderboards.
overall i really enjoyed this game and would strongly reccomend buying it as you can probably find it for really cheap now as its an old game.
*standbyers are players who make the game lag in favour of them but im not sure how they do it.
p.s sorry about the spelling not my strongest subject
