Saint's Row and Dead Rising are next on my list of Xbox 360 games to get. I hope there's more than just hip-hop music, though... I want to listen to some classic rock or 80's pop while driving around.

Along with Dead Rising, I've been looking forward to Saint's Row since I saw the preview in EGM however many months (year?) ago. I thought it looked fantastic, and I still do, to an extent. Unfortunately, like Dead Rising, I can't play it, for I've no Xbox 360.

I downloaded and played the demo and didnt like it... however apparently the full game is a lot better, I dunno - I think I will rent it first.

Its on my rent list, but more than likely I won't buy it. I'm really excited about FM2 though, that's almost assuredly going to be very fun. I play Forza on my 360 more than my 360 games lol.

This game has got preety high marks, but still I like to get a friends opinion before I pay for the game. So I read a couple reviews and get a couple of opinions and then I ask all my friends who have played the game what they think, then choose what I'll do. So reviews mean something, but not alot.

But none of my friends have played this game yet, so I trust the demo I own and the reviews I have read.

Reviews mean a lot actually. Especially with 10 different reviewers (as in 10 different gaming-related companies) all rating something (in this case Saints Row) with a high score of 9 - 9.5 That should tell you this game might just be pretty good. I'm not saying to rely on reviews, but they're good to check as a starter before buying. Not just games either. You can/will find reviews on just about every product out there.

Saints Row is a great game. It's GTA on the next gen with many fixes and addons that the gta games lacked. One thing Saints Row offers that makes it addicting is the great controls. Not only does this game look amazing but the controls are almost (dare I say) perfect. This includes driving and on foot and both driving and on foot combat. I've just turned off the xbox360 after playing about 5 hours straight.

If you were into the GTA games then you would be a fool to not get this game. At least rent it, or download the demo. It speaks for itself really.

I give it a 9.5 out of 10. I would give it a full 10, however there are a few bugs. Don't worry though, the bugs are minior but you'll still notice them (AI related)

This is a great game. With a solid online connection, the multiplayer is amazingly fun. Oh, and this is NOT a GTA ripoff!!!!! If you call this a ripoff of GTA, you have to call 'Brothers in Arms' a ripoff of 'Call of Duty', or 'Prey' a ripoff of 'Halo'..... Rockstar did not patent the fact that a game can be free do do what you want... thats why 'Saint Row' is its OWN unique game!
