The Streets Are Yours
The comparisons to Grand Theft Auto are going to be inevitable, but the polish that Saints Row has given the basics that it uses to provide its gameplay help make it stand out and above its rival in the urban street sandbox scene. The fun factor is definitely there, even without planes or jets, with the many activities and missions that the player is pulled into easily filling in what some may miss. While it might not take the crown from Rockstar's flagship franchise, its still a hugely satisfying trip into the city of Stilwater as the player tries to bring the 3rd Street Saints to the top.

A sequel is almost certainly guaranteed by the end of the game, a risky gamble that Volition had covered its bets with a surprising ending that could be interpreted in several ways. Given how fun the game was, I can safely say that the story of Saints Row isn't over yet. Volition started off by providing only one city to hang around in, but it's a city packed with enough vice, gunplay, and guilty underworld style pleasure to be an experience that shouldn't be missed.
