Review Name: Saints Row Or Grand Theft Auto???
You know, even if this game was a total failure, I'd have to give THQ
some credit. It takes some serious guts to go head-to-head with the most
popular video game franchise in the world. Sure there have been GTA
clones in the past but no one has dared go directly for Rockstar's throat
with another crime sim. Deep down they had to feel like one of the
countless mustached white guys that for some reason stepped in the ring
with Mike Tyson in the 80s.
It takes incredible confidence to even ATTEMPT such a thing. A lot of
people want to bash THQ for "ripping off" the Grand Theft Auto series.
Those people seem to be forgetting the incredible risk the company was
taking by deciding to go head-to-head with the Godfather of Free Roam
games. Rockstar may not have created the Free-Roam genre(as some people
falsely believe) but they sure did perfect it.
Competition is never a bad thing in the video game world. Just ask any
NFL football fan that owns an X-Box 360. Grand Theft Auto has finally
received some true competition and Rockstar sure does have some things
to think about as they work on Grand Theft Auto 4.
GAMEPLAY - 10/10
The most important aspect of a video game and the department where
Saint's Row sees the most improvement over the Grand Theft Auto series. The
very first thing you'll notice when you play Saint's Row will be the
aiming system. After about 5 seconds you will be asking yourself why
Rockstar never thought of this aiming system. It won't take long to get
used to - you've used it in almost every first or third person
action/adventure title you've played in the past 4+ years. The Left Analog Stick
moves your character, the Right stick moves the crosshairs, just like a
console First Person Shooter. When you first experience this change it
will be a gamer's version of what alcoholics call a "moment of
clarity." After a few minutes, GTA's aiming system(all 3 versions) will seem
downright archaic. Go ahead and TRY to play GTA again after an extended
period with Saint's Row.
Volition's decision to use the same controls when you are inside a
vehicle are both a blessing and a curse. On one hand it is no doubt
superior to GTA's left or right only shooting from a vehicle, however it is a
bit unruly. Since you have to hold A to keep the car moving and you
have to aim with the Right Analog stick you will often find yourself
trying to juggle the controller and coming up with all kinds of funky ways
to hold it. In the end while it makes driving more complicated the
ability to shoot in a full 360 degrees from inside a vehicle is something
you will never want to give away. Besides, it's not like GTA's drive-by
controls were a strong point in the series.
A seemingly small but really BIG improvement is seen in the garage
system. It's really quite ingenious and makes it a LOT easier to justify
spending thousands of dollars on car mods. It's simple - once you put a
car in your garage that car is there until you decide to delete it from
your garage. If you take it out and leave it somewhere then the next
time you go to your garage it will be there waiting for you, in the exact
same condition it was in when you left it. If you accidentally blow it
up then you just have to pay $500 to get an exact copy of it(including
any custom mods). This means when you pull out your custom Lambo that
you pumped a ridiculous amount of money into and flip the damn thing
before you even hit your corner you don't have to scream. Just go back to
your garage, pay $500, and voila you have a brand new one. The only
downside to this is that you can't use your garage for free repairs, cars
stay in whatever condition they're in when you put them in the garage.
If you want it repaired you'll have to take it to a near-by Rim Jobs.
Another improvement THQ has made over GTA is in the side missions.
While there aren't nearly as many as Grand Theft Auto boasts, the ones that
are there REALLY fit the whole crime genre - oh and being incredibly
fun helps as well. A perfect example would be the Insurance Fraud
missions. Trust me you wouldn't BELIEVE how much fun you can have trying to
cause yourself intense bodily harm in a video game. Whether you're
railing-shooting your way through some Drug Trafficking missions or going
crazy in the demolition derby (Destruction Derby fans rejoice!!!!) there
are hours and hours of fun to be had without ever even touching the main
story missions.
Speaking of the main missions in the game, for those of you wondering
just how Saint's Row works. THQ basically took what many believed to be
the best part about GTA: San Andreas - the Gang Wars - and made a video
game out of it. You are the newest member of the 3rd Street Saints and
you must help their rise to the top by conquering the various gang
territories spread around the city while also defending your own
territories from attacks. There are 3 other gangs fighting for power in
Stillwater and you must eliminate them from the picture. You do this by
completing various storyline missions and also tackling gang strongholds. The
missions are pretty straightforward things, the type of stuff you'd
expect to find in a game like this - Go here, Kill Everyone, Mission
Complete with the occasional Go Here, Steal X, Return To Base mission thrown
in. There is some variation in the missions but you won't find anything
groundbreaking here.
STORY - 7/10
One place where Saint's Row is lacking a bit is in the Story. As I said
before, you're the new muscle in town and you're going to help the
Saints take over. That's about it. There are some interesting cinematics
and a couple minor plot twists but it's very straight forward for the
most part. It also lacks that almost divine sense of dark humor that
everyone loves in GTA. There are a few very funny moments but this game
won't leave you in stitches as often as Grand Theft Auto games do. The
characters just don't have the same charm that Rockstar gets into their
characters. The dialogue isn't as clever and the jokes aren't quite as
in-tune with pop culture. THQ replaced all of that with enough profanity
to make Tony Montana cringe. Now I'm as against censorship as anyone and
don't mind lots of profanity but Saint's Row really is over the top
with the profanity. After a while it just seems almost a little childish.
I don't want to spend much time on the story because it's really not
very important in this genre in my opinion. Saint's Row is pretty average
in this area it just lacks the wit and charm of the GTA games.
GRAPHICS AND SOUND - 8/10
I almost gave a 7/10 here but decided that would be a bit too harsh.
First, the graphics are absolutely gorgeous. The vehicle models, in
particular, are fantastic. HOWEVER. I would trade all those pretty, shiny
surfaces and textures back in a heartbeat if it meant they could reduce
the pop-in. Saint's Row is still plagued by the same insane level of
pop-in that has haunted this genre since GTA3. In fact in many ways it
almost seems worse. Still, if pop-in was a big issue for me I wouldn't be
a fan of Free-Roam games. I had hoped it would go away with Next Gen
but that's just not the case. There's still pop-in, the things just look
a lot prettier when they suddenly appear out of the blue when you're
ten feet away.
Sound is a half and half thing - the voice acting is EXCELLENT and
boasts quite a few recognizable names in the line-up such as Michael Clarke
Duncan, Tia Carrerre, and Mila Kunis. One thing I really liked is that
THQ didn't just go after as many big names as they could find. They
went after big names that had EXPERIENCE doing voiceover work either in
animated movies(like MCD) or on television(like Mila Kunis) The results
are fantastic and as good as any voice work I've heard in video games
yet. The dialogue is cheesy and cliche but you can't blame the voice
talent for bad writing.
The other half is the music which again seems to be cut in half -
Hip-Hop fans should be pleased. There are three Hip-Hop stations with a nice
mix of mainstream, underground, and classic Hip-Hop featuring everyone
from Lloyd Banks to Wu-Tang Clan to Masta Ace to Black Sheep. The rock
stations are a different story all together, if you like 80s Hair Metal
you'll be happy to know there's a station with nothing but. If you like
any other form of rock music you'll probably be let down. You can tell
THQ was more worried about pleasing Hip-Hop fans than rock fans. I
guess it makes sense seeing as this is a gang about the whole "gangsta"
lifestyle that most Hip-Hop is about.
REPLAY VALUE - 10/10
The replay value is nearly endless here, partly because of the
Free-Roam nature of the game, partly because the various side missions NEVER
get old, and partly because of the INSANE level of customization of both
your character as well as your cars.
First let's talk about the cars. For my fellow custom car fanatics
you'll be happy to know that Saint's Row boasts car customization features
that rival even Need For Speed Underground. In fact there are MORE
different color paints than NFS:U. There are 5 different TYPES of paint and
10+ different colors for each type. In fact, I'm pretty sure there are
more colors than different cars in the game so you could literally
paint every car you own a different color.
There is also a tremendous amount of customization for your character.
You can't pig out to get fat or pump iron for 5 days straight to look
like a body builder but there when you start a new game there is a face
and body morphing system similar to the ones in Oblivion and other
games. It's very deep and you can really make your character look like
anyone. Mine is a near-perfect representation of the King of New York,
Frank White. Inside the game you can change your haircut or buy various
different types of clothing, tattoos, and jewelry. These things aren't
just there to look good, they actually boost the amount of respect you
earn by doing missions. It pays to look good when you're mowing down line
after line of enemy gangsters.
OVERALL - 9/10
You can, and I'm sure many will, debate endlessly whether or not this
game is better than GTA:SA. While it's certainly not as HUGE as San
Andreas was, what it does it does very well. The aiming system alone is a
monumental improvement over the Grand Theft Auto series. You can expect
to see THAT in GTA4. THQ was the first company to step up and provide
DIRECT competition for the Grand Theft Auto series and they've done an
amazing job with their first attempt. This game should be considered a
MUST buy for any fan of the Grand Theft Auto series. Don't let the word
"clone" scare you away from this fantastic game.
