This does plenty better than GTA. Havok, homies, getting people to drive for you so you can use the big guns and aim properly….yep its all good. Their are no planes: true but the city is smaller than GTA:SA so a plane would probably be useless.

To be fair, I’m also a GTA Troll, love them to bits, but this is a great game copy or not.

At least there would be a fun physics system and a decent aiming setup. Does Rockstar pay you people, you act like all you did in GTA is fly and jump out of planes. VerbalKlint27s review was fair, but I’ve come to the conclusion Nino is a GTA troll. I better see you rag on any fps that comes out from now on as being a wolfenstein clone.

If you leave out all the stuff they stole from GTA you wouldn’t have a game left.

Explosions don’t make a game though. You can’t ignore the similarities with GTA but I don’t really think it is an issue that should stop you buying it.

I can answer both questions for you without much effort

Procedural synthesis is a rather new concept to developers, and only little used in today’s games. The most famous application is Oblivion’s tree-building engine. One of the main problems is that procedural synthesis is obviously not fit to create just *any* texture: it may be fine to create a wood or metal structure, but you can’t really go and model damaged iron gates or graffiti decorations easily using the process. We can expect more use of procedural synthesis though as this generation of consoles progresses and the developers and designers get more practice and experience.

On the second question, Volition did use the HD for caching, but they cannot rely on it because there’s also a Core pack out there in some homes. They have complained about this in the past.

Stop comparing this to GTA. It is a fantastic game in its own right. The explosions are gorgeous…

Well I bought it and I like it, fair enough it doesn’t have everything that GTA has but it does have other nice little touches that GTA lacks.

The main point though is that GTA ain’t available for the 360 yet so what the problem of having a clone of GTA which gives a pretty decent representation of itself to fill the gap until GTA is released?

GTA had slightly less geometry and textures to manage.

decent review, to many people are loving this game. but your right, its tight, makes good use of the havoc, but lacks the style, presentation and humor of the GTA series… all in all a decent play, but nothing nearly as massive as GTA.

What they have done is great, but sand box = loads to do, and with no parachutes, planes etc etc the list goes on… its no GTA by a long shot

What really sucks is that there’s an airport in Saints Row, with a plane on the runway.

Keep that shit completely out if you don’t want to be ‘dogged’ about it. Damnit Volition

they could have had planes but its the new way of doin things leave it out and sell it to the suckers. Later i really hope competition makes them add more instead of tryin to get a extra buck.

That’s just bullshit, GTA had planes, and you could play it on the PS2 without a hardrive.

This is a really good game. I was hoping to do all the activities after I finished the single player game, but they get really difficult. I need to try the multiplayer part, but I’m waiting for the promised patch.
