Saints Row - Xbox 360
We’ve already had a ‘hands on’ preview of Saint’s Row back in Leipzig, which you can read all about in our Preview Section, and it looks as if the game has come on some way since we last saw it. Showcasing at X05 in Amsterdam, Saints Row for the Xbox 360 is looking to take GTA’s title. Anyway, enough from me, let’s hand over to the THQ guys and let them tell us about it.
Under threat from rival gangs and corrupt officials, the 3rd Street Saints must conquer the city of Stilwater or face destruction. From the spectacular opening battle to regain control of the local hood, Saint's Row offers an unparallel level of freedom to explore this living, breathing city. The player is free to engage in the multitude of different activates at his/his leisure, all the while building up respect in a gameplay-rich world. Build enough respect and the 3rd Street Saint's lieutenants will trust the player with more dangerous missions.
