Gamepro.com hat al seines der ersten Teams THQs Saints Row für die Xbox 360 reviewen dürfen. Dabei schnitt das Spiel verdammt gut ab. Mit einer Wertung von 4,75/5 gab es sogar einen Editors Choice Award.
Sie sind sehr angetan von dem Spiel und nach Meinung von Gamepro.com ist Saints Row der Grund sich ein Xbox 360 zuzulegen. Es spielt in einer anderen Liga als GTA, sowohl spielerisch als auch in Sachen Grafik.
[quote=gamepro.com]We can only hope that the developers of Grand Theft Auto IV are taking careful notes on Saints Row, the next generation of the "open world"-style games popularized by Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, and San Andreas. At first glance, Saints Row looks like little more than an Xbox 360-fortified version of San Andreas: from the mission design to the basic play mechanics to the tongue-in-cheek spirit, it's abundantly clear that Saints Row is firmly grounded in Rockstar Games' groundbreaking series.
Only it's better. Much, much better. Unquestionably, irrefutably better in nearly every possible way. Saints Row not only looks leagues better than the latest Grand Theft Auto games, it plays better. It's what you hoped you'd see in the yet-to-be-unveiled Grand Theft Auto IV...only you won't have to wait until late 2007 to play it. Groundbreaking it's not, but for Grand Theft addicts, Saint's Row is very clearly The Next Big Thing.[/quote]
