 Don't Believe The Hype (as Public Enemy used to say) April 17, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
 a.k.a. GTA: Glitch City February 5, 2008
Saints Row is an online-enabled Grand Theft Auto, with a "hardcore gansta" body kit.
For the most part, it's a decent game. There's definitely some quality gameplay inside this box. I especially enjoy the highly customisable character appearance.
A few gameplay innovations address some of the complaints GTA received, and there were also some interesting new mingames but I didn't find anything truly revolutionary to warrant all the hype this game received.
In fact, for every innovation that added to this game there seemed to be a glitch that detracted. My favourite, the "Where did my car go?" glitch, causes your vehicle to disappear for no apparent reason. When this happens, your character comes to an abrupt halt, stuck in mid air. I could find no way to begin moving again or exit the "missing" vehicle. This particular glitch repeated itself every time I attempted one particular mission, rendering the game completely unplayable from that point forward.
Even though there were some fun minigames, I found the "Respect" system caused them to become quite repetitive. In order to progress with the story you need "respect". In order to get respect, you must complete side job after side job ad infinitum. While fun the first few times, they get old fast. Good concept, poor execution.
Still, for its faults there are enough enjoyable qualities to make this game worth playing- just not enough to live up to the hype.
Pros:
-Beautiful scenery
-Highly customisable character
-Celebrity voice overs
Cons:
-Glitches/bugs
-Rep...rep...repetitive
-Too much distance/driving between every point A and point B
A fun way to kill some time. January 27, 2008
You can't deny that Saint's Row carries many similarities to the GTA series. This may be a good game for you if you really must have something to play while waiting for the release of the next GTA game. Some things like flight, motorcycles, bicycles, and boats will be missed by some fans of the GTA series, but many things like drive-by shooting, and steering AI for NPCs has seen some improvements over ever popular GTA.
I'm sorry to compare the two games so much, but it almost seems like the best way to review this, is to compare it to the games that it is obviously trying to emulate. The creators themselves even said that they wanted their game to look better, play better, and sound better, and generally be even more fun than Rockstar's hit series. You'll want to check this out, and look for Saints Row 2, hopefully later in 2008!

Some nice game play features in this game - like store hold up, reviving dead team members.
But story line missions seems shorter than gta games.
