3rd Street Saints

User Rating: 8.4 | Saints Row X360
I'm was never really in to the GTA series as alot of gamers were,I mean,I thought it was a cool concept and a good story,but I just never got into it.
THQ has come out with what some are calling "their GTA",I personnaly like this game better than GTA,it might be because it is on a next-gen console and the graphics are amazing or just because it has that aggressivness and good features that GTA lacked.
I'm not into the whole gang thing or whatever,but it is a good game with a suprisingly good story and pretty cool missions,I mean some could have used some work,but it is still a good part of the game.
The weapons in Saints Row are generic:
hanguns,rifles,shotguns,smgs,grenades,molotovs,
and a rpg(rocket launcher)
The weapons department could have used a little bit of an upgrade feature,but it wasn't really anything anyone wasn't expecting from this kind of game.
The other features such as the clothes stores and the jewelery storeswere ok and the tatto selection at the parlors was decent,but the character creation feature was pretty good(there is a plastic surgeon you can go to in the game where you can change your appearence completely) the options they had in the game was pretty good,this is on of the features that goes away from GTA and it is a prtty cool one too,it's better than being a charcter thats already chosen for you or you having about 8 pre-made characters to choose from.

When I first heard of the game I wasn't thinking about even playing it,but I decided to give it a try and it wasn't that bad and was a suprise to me since I started to like so much I didnt stop playing it for a while and still haven't.
This game is cool,the story is good and the graphics are not perfect,but good enough.
This game is a good game to have if you've ever played the GTA games.
