The first Saints Row game is fine for the most part, the characters are the best part of the game, the story is straight-forward, and most of the missions are pretty fun, albeit a bit a bit challenging with no checkpoints. However, I will say there's a lot of things about the game that bugs me. The activities get pretty boring after a while, some of which are clearly more fun than others, I hated most of the Los Carnales missions (don't even get me started on the final mission), and I find it very annoying how often you'll be losing a lot of ammo, especially when all the shops close at night. I will say for the time it came out and for what it's worth, it still has its high points.
