A GTA clone…that is done right!

User Rating: 9.5 | Saints Row X360

Saints Row looks likes a GTA clone which in a way it is. The thing that sets itself apart is the customization and the amount of missions and side missions. The story has you joining the SAINTS and doing various missions for them. Throughout the game there will be twists and turns with the story which is actually rather engaging. The combat is a major improvement over GTA; though the aiming is somewhat difficult.

My only complaint is that whenever you want to do a mission that pertains to the main story you have to do side missions to up your respect; it can somewhat slow down the pace if you really wanted to complete the main story line for the game. Some other issues are driving while shooting which can be a problem. If not frustrating.

The audio for the game is fantastic the radio programs hilarious and the dialogue on the escort missions downright outrageous. The visuals are great too though there are some pop up issues like a car popping up or disappearing in front of you.

The acting is great and there are a few well known actors in this one. The dialogue is funny and doesn't sound forced.

Saints Row offers tons of things to do after the main story is finished and there is always something to do. I guarantee that after playing this game you'll eagerly await Saints Row 2.

NOTE: The game has online features that I have not tried but there are multiplayer options on Xbox Live.
