Better Than Gta

User Rating: 9 | Saints Row X360
Ever since GTAIII I have been an avid GTA and Rockstar fan. I own em all, GTA3, San Andreas, Vice City, liberty City Stories, man even Bully. Not one has escaped the ravenous craving for terrible heartless violence, lawless cruelty, and mind numbingly senseless maliciousness that screams from inside me. I thought it got no better than San Andreas, blood, death, gore, it........ was...........magnificent........
Until now.

I have seen some things now, I have lived another version of pixelated, CG created, digitally authenticated life. And i must say, the satisfaction received from that life GREATLY exceed that of GTA. Now let's be fair, GTA is the fore father of all free based non linear crime styled games of this ilk. That much is true, but just because it's the originator does not mean it's the best. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd take 'GTA rendition' over the actual game. But I'm an honest person, and if it's better, it's better. And Saints Row is Better. The games story line is engaging, and keeps your attention well. The soundtrack is highly varied and all inclusive. The graphics are top notch, the dialog is hilarious and appropriate, there really is nothing that I can say the game was lacking. It was a blast, start to finish. From the customizable options for the clothes, vehicles, even character design; to the wide arsenal of weaponry, various mini games, and even the official objectives. This game really raised the bar. GTA has been a powerhouse in the industry, holding the title for most popular, constantly pushing the 'Moral Envelope' , and flat out shock value. There have been plenty that have tried to dethrone it but all have failed miserably. From the really bad ones like State Of Emergency, to the good ones Like Godfather, no game has had enough punch to go toe to toe with GTA. Saints Row proved that not only was it possible to square up with em, but beat em too. For my money it's Saints Row, GTA's really gonna have to step it up now. And that's saying a lot coming me.
