Looking back at.....Saints Row!
At first people called Saints Row a GTA clone, which wasn´t completely false but I don´t think you give Saints Row enough credit to just call it a GTA clone. The absurd humour and sometimes strange situations made the game a lot of fun to play, because compared to the GTA games you had back then Saints Row was so much more fun and less serious.
Something I like a lot about Saints Row games is that you have the ability to customize your character but also a lot of other things, like your gang or your vehicles. Of course not all of this was available in the first Saints Row game but it sure made a good path for future Saints Row games. In the first Saints Row game you play a guy who seems to be a silent force of destruction, being loyal to the Saints and doing whatever they ask for. But everyone that has played that game knows that the main character isn´t a mute, he´ll say some things whenever you´re close to beating a rival gang.
Saints Row multiplayer was for me the first time I was playing online on a console against other players, which was a lot of fun! Sure the controls aren´t that great and the weapons are pretty basic, but really the fun you can have with friends or even random strangers is just amazing! Well I doubt that you can still play Saints Row multiplayer, especially knowing that the last two Saints Row games don´t even have a multiplayer.
I´ve heard from some people that they hate what Saints Row has become, especially the last two games (Saints Row the Third and Saints Row IV) get a lot of hate. A lot of people seem to like the first two games when they were close to the GTA games, which I find understandable but I don´t agree with that. I actually like that Saints Row went a different direction, they went completely crazy and over the top and yet it works out for the Saints Row games. Ridiculous stunts, army of clones, super powers, alien invastion, etc. You name it the Saints have faced it! I do find it a shame that they don´t have a multiplayer anymore, but the online co-op is also a lot of fun and playing with a friend is always nice when you´re able to destroy the city!
I´m curious what the future will bring for Saints Row, because I think in the last game we´ve pretty much seen everything. Well that´s what you would think, who knows what crazy stuff people can come up with and before we know it we´ll play Saints Row in the stone age or on another planet. As long as it´s fun to play I know I´ll buy it, because Saints Row games might not be the best games but they´re definately one of the most fun games to play!
