8/10
Fun game, definitely get it

I love GTA. LOVE it. But Saints Row definitely took on a different taste than the GTA series. Let's be honest, GTA is an amazing game. I honestly can't compare Saints Row and GTA because in essence, they are not the same. At least NOW they are not the same since Saints Row The Third put on a definite spin to these types of role-playing games. You can fly a fricking jet bro. And all the helicopters you want. the cars? Pretty awesome stuff. AND you can customize your rides man! I'm all over there because I love racing games Rockstar produces (Midnight Club). It's a mix of many games and takes the best of them all. I am very pleased with this game. So lets do a check-off list. Amazing cars? Check. Customizing your ride? Check. Customizing your character? umm Check. Boats n' Hos? Check. Tanks, beatdowns, blowing up stuff, guns, dildos, zombies? Allll check. Im very pleased. There's only 2 things I can say about this game that I did not like. One, the cops are SO ANNOYING. LIKE WOW! The cops in GTA were bad, but this is terrible. In a matter of 2 minutes you have every enemy on your map and you can barely see what you're doing, let alone escape. Because when you drive away, 3 or 4 of them follow you. And im not just talking about the cops, I'm also talking about the gang operations that hate you too. Secondly, the ending is bad... And if you're reading this even though it says "Contains Spoilers" I am warning you, this is a big one (if you haven't played the game yet). The Real Ending? sucks man. C'mon. You have the choice to either kill your biggest enemy Killbane or save Shaundi's life. You cannot do both. So when I was introduced to this dilemma I was raging because Angel (Killbane's main nemesis-voice of Hulk Hogen) could have gone for Killbane and I could have saved Shaundi. The alternate ending is saving Shaundi which I prefer. The real ending is you kill Killbane and Shaundi blows up with a huge town monument. double-u tee eff, bro? Anyway... other than that it is a huge bunch of fun all the way through. AND once you're done with the main story line, you can still cruise around and have fun. Cuz by that time you have enough money to do most of what you want. So pretty worth it, but again if you want a comparison with this and GTA, my PERSONAL opinion is that GTA has a better story line but Saints Row is a more fun gameplay.
