im gona get saints row today, we really have no idea when just cause is going to come out. (at least i dont haha) i have no idea how all of just cause is going to play but ive heard some of the missions are going to be pretty cool, and i love the planes. i think just cause will be a renter though, i really like the way saints row controls

[gordita37]

So far I like saints row better. Just cause feels to arcadish for me, plus I dont think it has multiplayer.

[jimjom]

just cause is at least month away. that's plenty of time to get saints row, beat it, and then go for just cause.

[KUNFUCHOPSTICKS]

saints row is so much better than just cause, justcase is like far cry but you can steal cars.

saints row is the cloeset game to GTA yet!

[miggidy]

I just rather spend my time playing the real thing....
But that's just me.

That's a good point John,
SR does feel condensed.

I'm checking gamerankings.com right now,
Saints Row's averaging a rating of 87%.
Not bad at all....

i havent checked the just cause demo but have played a lil of Saint's Row and i have mixed feelings ... the gameplay is like good ol GTA ( no shiat ) what bothers me a lot is that there is visible drop in frame rate and it feels like that screen is shuttering from time to time

they have added many mini games which might add to the intrest but yeah its a "good" attempt at making money on old idea i do like the graphics but just too often it reminds me of playing GTA:SA but than i remember hey i cant get bikes or planes in this

People may like SR and it may get good ratings but in my book ... i played Tabble Tennis much more than SR and i have had both the games for same amount of time ... infact picked them up both at the same time

ive been playing saints row all day! its been fun so far. only problem so far is the screen tearing in cut sceens (arghhh!) in game seems fine though, the whole city is open form the get go but there just doesnt to be much varity.  i felt sad when i got to the air port and there arent any planes to fly, no boats to drive, no motorcycles. and the city isnt that big either. still good for some fun and im enjoying it. the ragdoll physics alone has been worth it =)  if any one has questions about the game just lemmie know...

BTW i rented it at blockbuster on my game pass

[moutainDEW883]

I'm getting both.

[CreziB]

I, for one, have decided not to buy this game.  I'm simply not willing to pay $60 for an unrefined product.  Don't sweep trash out the door until it works properly.

UNLESS!!, it's cheap.  $60 to me is the going rate for a quality, complete title.  Even the video review on Gametrailers.com makes note of the blatant errors.

[hamwbone]

yeah ive had the highway dissapear under me multiple times. well im still getting some enojoyment out of the game, rent it crezib, keep it for 2 weeks from blockbuster your only out 7$ and youll have the game beat =)  this is why i speak so highly of the game pass, when im done i send it back, games that are worthy of my 60$ will get it.

[CreziB]

Yea, why not.  I suppose I will rent it.

[Legendary Badass]

Just Cause is taking my friend list by storm... and it's just a demo. When it comes out IGN and Gamespot will give it at least a 9.0.

[hamwbone]

nice sum up! i think both games are worth some fun. i dont either of them are going to be masterpieces. i think twisted posted on how messed up game reviews are, these game will probably deserve 6-7/10. but that doesnt mean its a bad game. a bad game should be a 1-4.

Saints:

Well I really hope the full game is a step above the demo:

Negatives:
Poor framerate,
Cars disappear in front of you,
Police couldn't catch you if they actually tried,
Missing the nice little touches like: boats, helicopters, planes and a general variety and the busy atmosphere that the GTA series has.
It thinks its cool...... god I hate the cut scenes.
Demo is just boring really.

Positives:
looks nice when its not jerky.
can shoot into cars.
nice explosions and fire effects.
funny sayings by people on the streets.
Just cause:

Negatives:
Can't shoot whilst in cars.
Bit boring in game characters
Weird pop up style graphics (look at the trees) and other glitches like grass showing through your car.
No option to turn off auto aim (but actually once you start playing with this in mind ie charging around like a mad man, the auto aim feature is surprisingly quite fun)

Positives:
Not a complete rip off - has its own take on the sandbox style.
Despite graphical glitches it still looks quite nice.
skydiving.
The size of the map
That fast boat.
Missions are quite fun - like the last car one.
Doesn't take itself too seriously.
Faster and better driving aspect of the game.
Id say they are both differently 'bad', not really good, certainly not to the tune of £50. Rent both, don't waste your money trying to decide which is 'better'.

Never yet had any frame issues.
Cars have not disappeared in front of me.
The missions are darn cool.
And the online multiplayer rocks.

[hamwbone]

what resolution are running saints row in amb? im running 720p and its painfully obvious on the cut scenes. horrible image tearing. game frame rate seems ok and thats what matter to me.

have you tried the insurance fraud games yet, they are great!
