Saints Row Review

Well it turns out that I got the money from my dad. This means that on the same day I went out to buy a game. That game being Saints Row for the Xbox 360.
Saints Row is like GTA3(and above) except the graphics are hecka better.
I’m talking the difference between, McDonalds slurpys and 7-11Slurpys. The 7-11 slurpy is the only way to go.
So graphically saints row is the 7-11 slurpy. Superior

But how is it when it comes to the actual game?
Well I must admit at first I felt like it was a McDonalds slurpy giving me a grade 3 brain freeze. I wanted another GTA and that’s not what I got.

When I get huge air with my car, I want to know how far I went. This is not a statistic in Saints Row.
When my car does a flip I want an INSAYNE STUNT BONUS!!!!...but sadly I didn’t get that in Saints Row either.

To me the world of videogames and even reality is all about the small things. Like pushing the limit of an insane stunt bonus or just watching a bird find a worm. Sure you can smoke up and get drunk off your nut, wake up in a gutter with a band-aid on your nipple and call it a good night. But Small joys like watching a bird find a worm is good fun also. Trying to imagine what the bird is thinking, how he does it ect….

Saints Row didn’t seem to offer me this in the beginning. But after a while it got a little more interesting. I saw graffiti on the wall in the game. It said ‘for a clucking good time call 555-(I cant remember the actual number sorry)’ so I called the number with the phone in the game and unlocked a man in a chicken suit who follows me around with a baseball bat as my side kick. I’m not making this up… it’s actually in the game. When this occurred, the McSlurpy turned into a nice full thick red 7-11 slurpy with a black straw in a $2.30 cup. Oh …pure joy.


If GTA never existed then Saints Row would be the rave. But no matter how hard it tries, Saints Row will always be compared to GTA. And knowing this they should have added the small details. So in that respect… saints row sucks.
But to be honest with you, that’s about as bad as it gets… besides the fact that the map is smaller.

Everything else in Saints Row Rocks. Game play is great, characters look great, I look great. everything is great.
Game play is quite comparable to the GTA series. However aiming in Saints Row is much easier I find. 3 or 4 shots with the pistol seems quite reasonable…I don’t think I could stand up much longer after 3 shots to the face. I would probably have to go the plastic surgeon and get my face fixed up after something like that. To bad I’m broke. But thank God that I’m not too broke in Saints Row. Because in Saints Row I can go to the surgeon, and I have.
The surgeon can change your entity also, I’ve been white the whole time so far, but I’m thinking about going Hispanic. Originally my characters face was modeled like a elf, I thought it would be cool...turns out it wasn’t. so I went to the surgeon, gave him 3000 dollars and got him to change me into a while Lenny Kravits. Yes yes, 3000 dollars is quite a bit, but it’s all good. Afterwards you can hold up the surgeon and get your money back. Oh the joys of being evil.

Saints row is a definite buy!
