Saints Row user reviews (Xbox 360)

Pros The game is much like GTA SA, but with much more customization. You can take that pimped out car off road and explore the open world of Stilwater, ranging from country side to the big city itself, you can go anywhere. The multiplayer is epic to boot!

Cons Graghics are good, but not what youd expect from a next generation console.(Definantly better than Grand Theft Auto San Andreas though!) The multiplayer is fun but somtimes(Rarely) laggy. The story is kinda lame, and the character never talks.

Summary Saints Row is about you joining a gang in a big town named Stilwater. The main part of the story is about you helping the 3rd Street Saints take there area and then some after that.
But the stories not the best part of the game, its the massive customization of your character and cars that puts the game on my play list. This game is a lot like Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, but with a lot more customization. I say this because, like in San Andreas, the map is huge and open for you to explore. And believe me the big town of Stilwater is a lot of fun to roam around in. No matter if you like the big city or the fresh air of the country side. Theres a lot to do no matter who you are.
Aside from the story and exploration, theres also a large set of Odd Jobs that you could do for some extra money and respect, ranging from insurance fraud, all the way down to Grand Theft Auto and Robbery. These small tasks will keep you occupied even after you finish the story.
Another thing you might find familiar is the option to recruit gang members. For those of you who played San Andreas, the idea is the same, build respect, recruit more people. All you have to do is walk up to one of your gangs members and tap up, you'll whistle and he'll come shoot people with you. You can even bring him on missions.
But one of the best parts of the game is the phone, you can do everything you could on a regular phone, all the way from prank calling somone, to phoning for backup. The first thing you unlock on your phone is the ability to call for a Wheel Woman. Call her and she'll come pick you up from wherever you are. Which can come in handy when your surrounded or just robbed a bank.
Another familiar gameplay feature is the ability to swim. The swimming isn't very good, but its better than nothing. Especialy since you dont have any boats to play around with. A good thing though is that if you get to far out there you can just telaport back to land. You can do a lot of stuff in the water, like jump, swim, climb. Just like in GTA IV.
Aside from this the story isn't very good mid way through and personaly i got board with it mostly because of the way its told. The story would be great, but because of the bad actors, it brings it down quite a bit. But the worst thing about this game are the bad animations. Whilst the fighting engine in this game is decent, the way your player just swings his arms around trying to punch somone in the face is slow and often confusing. And your movments feel like they did in San Andreas.
But if I had to say anything about it, I'd say buy it. Its one of the best third person shooters ive played in a long time since San Andreas.

Pros i like the cars and weapons.

Cons i dont like that you can only play as the saints

Pros You can unlock 7 homies.

Cons On main roads sometimes a car may disapear.

Summary A brilliantly realistic game which is like a better version of grand theft auto games you can kidnap,steal and murder. It has a nice long storyline which will keep you entertained for hours and plenty of mini-missions including hitman activities recruiting,****** and races. You can unlock 7 homies and buy a wide selection of clothes,jewelry and CDs.Once you have helped the saints take over stillwater the fun doesent stop there you can play online playing standard deathmatches,protect the pimp and big ass chains(kill each over to get each others chains and sell them to the pawn shop. A game you can have fun for hours on. bradley flay

Pros The graphics; the exciting gameplay; big weapon selection; big vehicle selection; great story line.

Cons Mediocre soundtrack.

Summary By TechMan444:
Saint's Row is a great game with big vehicle and weapon selections. The graphics are great and so is the story line, but the soundtrack isn't that good. Also, preset on your car there are radio stations, including two talk stations.

If you have a 360, get this game. It's anything but a GTA clone.
