Listen the reason everybody even hating on this game is because, its the only game even in GTA's neighborhood (same block a couple houses down if you will). And a lot of you are just going by what other people said (mostly editors and people that dont have 360's and just now got a PS2). First off this game is a breath of fresh air. Everybody says that the aiming is similar the pemise is similar blah blah. To me its similar but in a good way, and i dont know if i can go back to target aim. I love aimin anywhere in ur car and the ability to launch a grenade at gang members and keep on driving. I like the fact you can call up a chick and do a drive by, or click A on on the map and she will drive u there (slowly but she gets u there). The Story could use some of GTA's spark as dont really feel it. But i havent feel asleep doing a mission yet, so its a good thing, i like some of the activities (Insurance Fraud is fun but gets kinda boring after a while.I mostly mess wit the ONLINE. This is where i spend about 85% of my playing. They have gansta brawl,team gangsta brawl, Protec the Pimp, and a couple other modes. If you have xbox live. Its worth the purchase. Not to say it isnt if u dont have live, it just makes the purchase easier

This is the worst game I have ever played in my lifetime. The Offical XBOX Magazine said it was even better than Grand Theft Auto San Andreas...I think not.. I achieved 100% Complete they are not comparable at all. I payed 63 dollars including tax at 6.8 percent at the Quil Ceda Walmart in Marysville, Washington AND I will only get 25 dollars trade in at EB Games at the Everett, WA Mall.

Saints Row

This game is really fun to play, tons of action and things to do. Really similar to GTA:San Andreas. The ending is terrible and confusing. Doing activities between missions in order to gain respect gets old after a while a frustrating. Not many options when creating, dressing or customizing your character.

SAINTS ROW IS REALLY BORING AFTER A WHILE

Ive bought this game 2 different times and both times have disappointed me, it's a beautiful game, with a great soundtrack, but the story is really stupid and non original, its really fun when you first play it, but it really lacks any replay value, once you've already gotten all of the clothes and jewlery (which is'nt much) there's nothing to do. Just drive around and do the boring side missions. When you first play its fun just to rob people and make money to buy clothes.

GTA 3.5

I titled this GTA 3.5 because it feels like this takes place in the middle of GTA 3 and GTA Vice City. It is fun in it's own rights, but it gets boring after awhile of playing. The music selection is horrible, but you can play the songs you want if you "BUY" them from the in-game store. (You don't use real money, I am talking about the in-game money) There are some interesting side-quests and some fun to be had. Don't plan on playing this game like you would a GTA game, it just doesn't work...I had high expectations and I was a little let down.

Don't Believe The Hype (as Public Enemy used to say)

Don't believe the hype. This game is not only derivitive of the Grand Theft Auto series, it is quite repetitive and boring. Most of all there are too many glitches and bugs that wasn't fixed before it was even shipped. You will find yourself walking away from your car only to find it gone. Then there are those ridiculous challenges where you are expected to go from point A to point B while being gunned down by several enemies from unrealistic angles. If you like your game with lots of swearing then this game is for you. But if you look more than lots of swearing, then stay away from this highly over-hyped rubbish.

Mediocre

Saints row, while having many interesting qualities such as weapons storage and easy vehicle repair, is deeply lacking in many areas. The incessant abuse of timers, poor AI from other vehicles and "homies", as well as a shabby plot, combine to decimate the games entertainment value.

Shameless plagarism - I LOVE IT!

As with other reviews, it'd be easy to begin with gameplay comparisons to GTA, as there's no doubt THQ programmers 'borrowed' many elements from Rockstar's staple franchise... But so what? Many development houses learn from their peers and try to improve on its awesomeness - or just try to match it. If comparisons to GTA must be made, aside from stock GTA gameplay elements, it's probably most akin to GTA San Andreas. Specifically the gang turf block wars section where you fight gangs on the street or complete missions to convert blocks of the city to your colors.

Saints Row is all about respect. You perform minor missions (called activities) such as escorting hookers or creating carnage on a big scale and this gives you respect - get enough respect and a main mission will open up. Complete a main mission and the block is yours - earning you cash every week. The storyline is usual fodder for these sorts of games - rival gangs are in your turf and you have to defeat them - by destroying their music HQ, stealing their drugs etc.

In graphics are considerably improved over the GTA franchise. Stunning view distances, burning vehicles create haze, water looks incredible, and the architecture is almost on par with PGR3 in places. The cut scenes especially show the engine off - with depth of field blurring and nice sfx. Sonically things are equally good - no complaints.

So I'm about 9% in (around 7 hours) and loving it. I like to drive around and check out the scenery - do what I want when I want and Saints Row let's me. (Sadly I keep driving around looking for unique jumps!). So yes - it's a GTA type game. It's great fun and looks 1,000 times better than its inspiration.

Had rockstar released a GTA game for the 360 I would probably not rate this game as high - but for now it's well worth your money and should tide you over until GTA4 comes out. Go get it bro!

great game

how can i explain what makes it a little better the GTA... well imagine any thing that annoyed you in GTA or any problem that needed fixing and you will find it in this game, for one thing its easier then GTA, so many things you discover that are new even if you had it for a while, i have a feeling this game will disapear and fall in sales when GTA for PS3 comes out but hey thats not for a long long time, yes more delays from Sony

what i love about this game is when the cops come to your hood and you entire gang starts shooting at them, also unlike GTA when the cops arrest you and you come out you still have your wepons!!!!
