Saints Row has a unique style to it. A little on edge action with a little GTA style gameplay.

User Rating: 8.5 | Saints Row X360

Saints Row for the Xbox 360 is a game that will have gamers expecting everything you'd want from a Grand Theft Auto game, and more. The graphics for Saints Row are astounding compared to Grand Theft Auto III-SA. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas's graphics were good, but were not the best. The sound on Saints Row is very clean cut and smooth. You can hear it well and can understand what they're saying, unlike Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (for example), where it is a bit scratchy and slow. Many games have tried to re-create or duplicate Grand Theft Auto, but none have come as close as Saints Row. You will find that Saints Row is very similar to the Grand Theft Auto series, especially San Andreas. The player customization, the car modding, a few of the missions. But Saints Row has it's own unique features.

One of these unique features are the activities. 'Activities' are side missions you can do to earn Respect (See below). Some Activities may involve Insurance Fraud, Trafficking Drugs, or even being a Hitman. Unlike Grand Theft Auto, where you can freely do any of the missions, Saints Row forces players to earn 'Respect' before starting a mission. This can be a very long and difficult process. For example, if you want to start a Stronghold (See the Stronghold section) mission, you must have respect to do that first. So, you're basically trying to earn respect for respect.

While this is a very aggravating process, Saints Row makes up for it...BIG TIME! Saints Row not only gives you the option to do or not do the missions, it has a totally, open world environment for you to explore. Saints Row sets new heights for Next Generation Gaming. You do not have to unlock areas to explore them, like in Grand Theft Auto. Clothes, Jewelery, Hair Salons and the other many shops are available to you after you complete the first mission, "Canonized". Strongholds are side missions in which a player attempts to clear out a enemy gangs' territory and base to claim that base and territory for your gang, the 3rd Street Saints. There is a wide variety of vehicles in Saints Row, but not enough to satisfy your needs after playing it for a while. Unlike Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row has no Planes, Helicopters, Boats, etc. in it.

Saints Row 2 is coming out next year, and will have many, many more options and capabilities. You can customize your very own 'Crib', voice, gender, gang, and more. There will be Helicopters, Planes, Boats and Motorcycles! Goto www.saintsrow.com for more!

So, in all, I give this game a 8.5. Pros & Cons:

Pros: Enough Gameplay to satisfy gamers' needs - Acceptable graphics and sound - Grabs on to the player's needs - A good variety of Vehicles -Good voice acting - A lot of good action - Next Generation total Free Roaming gives Saints Row it's good reputation

Cons:

Not enough missions - Lacks player voice acting - Has a lot of game glitches - Lacks originality in some of the missions
