The first thing I have to say is that I will not say GTA in every sentence because this game is so much better than any GTA game hands down. The only thing I have to mention regarding GTA in graphics is the fact that Rockstar North has been around for a decade releasing the best selling game of all time, Volition is extremely unknown compared to Rockstar. So it's impossible to compare the games, because to budget for both games are extremely different. It's like comparing the special effects of a movie from the 80's and a modern movie. Well on with the game. Saints Row starts and places you with a created character from a good character creation selection, and then you are walking around your Neighborhood in the Story when you are right in the middle of a massive gang fight that leads to you being saved by "Julius". The leader of the Third Street Saints. You later join the saints and have to take over the city crushing all rival gangs. (That's all I will say) This game does not take itself seriously at all, it's extremely funny and over-the-top. THQ's Destroy All Humans has proven that this can play out well and work. Some jokes can seem immature, but it's virtually impossible to play the game without breaking out laughing at just how insane and random this game is. You will try not to laugh but it's really hard. There are a lot of things in Saints Row that will make watching someone play just as fun as playing. One of the main things that will make people love this game are the activities. The activities are basically different mini games that will add many hours of gameplay and enjoyability to Saints Row. You will partake in "Insurance Fraud" a game where you will throw yourself into traffic to make money for breaking bones. Also "Mayhem" where you will you have a set time to destroy or kill as many things in your way. "Racing" "Escorts" "Hitman" "Hijacking" "Snatch" and "Chop Shop" are all as they sound. All of these activities will grant you Respect which you need on a certain level to complete the Story Missions. The city is completely open for you to Buy or steal cars and customize with a wonderful selection of options at "Rim Jobs" a Car Mechanic. You can buy a large selection of Guns and Throwing-Melee weapons at "Friendly Fire". There are a lot of Stores in Stillwater that let you buy Songs for your Mp3Player, buy new clothes, jewelery, Liquor, Drugs, visit a plastic Surgeon to recreate your character. Also visit a drive through to buy fast food, to regenerate your health. Your health does regenerate but sometimes you will be under two much gun fire and need something to boost your health up quickly. Well that's all there is to say about Saints Row it's a great game and should not be missed by anyone. Overall (10/10)

Saints row is a under- appreciated game that really deserves more credit. It may be similar to GTA but you could make that case for EVERY game for pete's sake. The graphics are amazing and they really show what the 360 c... Read Full Review
