Thanks for answering my comments.

I think I'm going to hold off on Saints Row until I see GTA 4 next year…the demo didn't really appeal to me all that much.

GTA 4, however…well, that will just rock.

@William: Whoa, I don't know how I missed your comment. Just randomly paging through my site and stumbled across it. Sorry about that! To answer your questions…

1. No. It's actually not needed. Where as in GTA, you couldn't survive without it. The gunplay is much better in Saints Row.

2. No. That was a bit of a drag. Just land vehicles in this one.

3. It's on my homepage. Please let a message and let me know who you are with the invite.

A few questions before I buy the game:

1) Is there an auto-targeting system? Much like the one in, say, GTA Vice City on PS2 (you hold down a button and it automatically locks onto the closest person/enemy).

2) Can you randomly jack any car? Are they others, apart from cars, such as a boat, train, bike, aeroplane, etc?

3) What's your GamerTag?

@Kyle: I meant to mention the awesome load times. There's an initial load, which is about 15-20 seconds. And that's it while you're playing. You can drive around the entire city without seeing a load screen once. There are brief load screens between missions, but that's it. It's handled very well in this game.

Great review, loved that game – they did so many things well. It's actually painful to play Godfather, why can't every game have the same kind of mapping and directions to locations! Plus I loved the combat controls /w this game.

Poor hotdog guy – you unloaded on that poor bastard!:)

My roommates rented it and I must say, they took GTA to a new level. Not only does it look awesome, but it doesn't suffer from as many glitches and it seemed to have fewer "loading" areas.

All in all, it was really fun. Then again, I have a feeling, like GTA, it will get old after a month or two.

I downloaded the demo for Saints a couple of weeks ago and have had a blast playing it. I totally agree that they've only approved upon the GTA-type genre and I really hope to see more games like this from THQ in the future.

It's definitely on my to-buy list.
