In all honesty, the first game didn’t light the world on fire because it really was a clone of Grand Theft Auto III. So far so generic - but it had been a while since GTA IV and would be a long while until GTA V, so I played on. A couple of days later, I loaded up Saints Row - the first in the series - and found myself in the shoes of a silent protagonist who is recruited into a gang and told to drive cars while killing people. So I went in search for cheap copies, which I found easily on eBay. It was a game about stealing cars and shooting people - or beating them with massive purple sex toys. Of course, this presented a problem in that I didn’t know anything about the series. This was the first game I had bothered to pre-order since The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on Gamecube - because it came with remakes of the N64 games if you did. Professor Genki, crotch-punching, giant dildos… Something about the whole situation just appealed to me. I went and pre-ordered it based on how much I laughed at the over-the-top humour very much present in a short trailer found on YouTube. So you can guess my surprise when I found a teaser trailer for Saints Row: The Third and laughed my head off. Spoiler warning: this contains story details for all four Saints Row games. Like comparing Transmorphers with Transformers, or Transformers: Dark of the Moon with Transformers (there was no second movie, shut up!). Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was about gangs, this clone was about gangs, so it was going to obviously suck. I first heard about Saints Row as a GTA clone - and paid it no mind. ![]() ![]() Articles // 7th Aug 2014 - 9 years ago // By Andrew Duncan Why I Love Saints Row
