Battle of the GTA clones
They all tried to beat the best, but which one really did? We make 'em fight to find out
Saints Row
THQ | Xbox 360
The setup: You're a random nobody who gets jumped into the Third Street Saints gang after their leader saves your life. In Saints Row, being asked to join a gang is apparently the equivalent of being summoned to Hogwarts to become an X-Man, and all sorts of cool adventures ensue as you set out to conquer the city of Stillwater from rival gangs.
The rides: A slick assortment of civilian and gang-themed street machines, which you can drag into a garage and customize to your liking.
The violence: Nicely varied, with characters that catch fire, get thrown like ragdolls from explosions and go down quick with a few well-placed shots from your guns. Your personal armory runs the gamut from pistols to submachineguns to RPGs, and a few of the cruder weapons - knives in particular - let you get close-up and gruesome with your victims.
