9.0 Presentation
Smart, easy to follow directions, well-done custcenes, a surprisingly good story, and a great menu system.
8.0 Graphics
Solid next-gen graphics offering fantastic particle effects, good animation, and a steady framerate of 30 FPS are unfortunately countered by noticeable fade-in, texture and screen tearing.
8.0 Sound
Saints Row has the "affect" of a GTA soundtrack, without having the AAA quality to back it up. Good voice acting and some funny one-liners and doused by really bad jokes that'll keep you wincing.
8.5 Gameplay
Good, polished gameplay and design -- copied straight from GTA, but honed and improved upon (in many cases). Excellent progression scheme and level design.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
The substantial 30- to 40-hour single-player campaign is bolsted by a weak co-op mode and a great 12-player multiplayer mode.
8.5 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
