Better than GTA??
You start the game off with a character creation sequence where you choose your character's apperance,physique and accersories so first off it grabs you like there's you or your own little guy to do whatever! where as in GTA you would have a pre-made character thus you go and change him and also in Saints Row you can aquire jewerly , clothes , hats , tatoos it is unbeilavably good!
So your in Stillwater corrupted by drug dealers and gang warfare and your guy is in the mist of it , you are then re-cruited by a guy called Julius and Troy who take you to the 3rd Saints crew and from there on you do missions to do with other gangs such as the Vice kings , Los Carnales and the Rollerz 3 seperate storylines and very detailed and very very strong overall.
Minor issues with the game first off that struck me whas the fact your character doesn't talk at all not a sneeze or cough just nodding his head or changing his body posture or giving people the one finger salute really dissapointing that your charcter doesn't talk. Another minor issue would be the fact that the limited amount of vechiles you can have.....HEY! there are some good looking cars.....THAT'S IT CARS!! no motorbikes , planes , boats , bicyles e.t.c. Just Cars!
This game is defienetly the best GTA imitation game on the market and it is only on the Xbox360 if you like the GTA series then please get this game where as if you are the finicky type of gamer that want's everything LIKE GTA then wait til GTAIV...
