Screen Play: "The Saints Row series has been taking aim at the well-entrenched Grand Theft Auto series ever since its inception and release for the Xbox 360 back near the console's launch. Saints Row originally tried to fill the void of left by the lack of a Grand Theft Auto title on the new generation of consoles. Now that the excellent GTA IV has been released, the second iteration tries to take down its competitor in one fell stroke. The real question is, though, is Saints Row 2's aim true?
Seeing that Saints Row 2 has set itself up to be Grand Theft Auto's biggest competitor, and the one to bring it down, it's only fair to begin by comparing and differentiating the two...."
Gameplay - 5/10 - Controls can be frustrating, have to do activities to get to missions which breaks the flow of the game. Combat and driving are fast and furious. Great use of weapons and melee attacks.
Graphics - 7/10 - The graphics are reasonable. Water is well rendered, you can see quite far when flying over the city. Characters and environments aren't overly detailed, though.
Sound - 8/10 - Radio stations have a good variety of music, but no talk station. Voice acting is very well done. Guns and cars make their own distinctive sounds.
Plot - 7/10 - It's big and over the top, like the rest of the game. Missions are laid out so that you want to find out more, but unfortunately, you have to go back to activities...
Overall - 6/10 - Saint's Row is a game most Xbox 360 and PS3 owners would want to play. I didn't find it as deep and thought-provoking as Grand Theft Auto, but then, despite the marketing, I didn't believe it would be. I'm looking forward to this franchise being continued, developed and matured.
Drive it like you stole it.
While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.
Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since
Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.
junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,
Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.
Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.
One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?
i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha
Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.
The 2000s was a great decade for a lot of brilliant video games. Here are the ten best games of the 2000s that you may not have played.
You know usually when someone says "you may have missed" it's games that were lesser known, hidden gems, underrated games. These are all super high profile games that sold extremely well.
You know the 2000s is 20 years ago too? Maybe, just maybe this wasn’t an article targeted to 30+ gamers? Still says at the very beginning of the title “THE BEST GAMES you may have missed”. Regardless of how well they sold there’s tons of gamers who haven’t touched these older well known games lol.
It's games you "may have missed", insinuating you were around and gaming in the 2000's and were there to miss them. If it was aimed at everyone else then they missed literally everything, not just the top games.
The original commenter is right, this is a badly written article at best pointless at worst.
Besides only being able to miss it if you were around during that time..if your point stands then this is a horrible list. Tons of better games people may have missed
I would like the original max payne remade in a new engine with ray tracing. 😊
Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I totally forgot they were doing it. Also what the hell happened to Kingpin: Reloaded? On Steam coming soon and nohting from the dev.
Yeah, I was just going to say. It's interesting seeing them back behind the series. Max Payne 3 was amazing, but then Rockstar just sat on the IP.
Well, they sit on virtually anything that isn't GTA and Red Dead now.
What is this list? These are all hugely popular games. I was expecting games like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Advent Rising, Arx Fatalis, etc.
the title didn’t say lesser known titles from the 2000s. This is 20 years ago now lol. Big assumption this list was made for older gamers.
I've only played 3 on that list. Part of me feels bad about how little I used all the consoles I've owned as a kid. One bright side is, there's over 30 years of games to experience for the first time.
6,only 6?
this game is excellent,it's like san andreas's young brother
