I know it's cheap to compare it to GTA but this truly is more fun. As much as I like the later installations, they can seem try hard in comparison to this. Whilst it's still a little dated in feel, I love how this game plays. The customization is insanely versatile and fun; Music selection is actually fantastic; and the amount of wonderfully weird game modes feels endless.

It doesn't have a grounded feel and that's ok. Saints Row isn't trying to teach or parody anything like its competitor, yet I say its biggest detriment is how the main story just feels like aimless murder sometimes. Again, the random and shocking humor you can get from this is hilarious and I love the feeling of building a gang in this faux-New York. Totally underrated.
