Saint's Row - Xbox 360
Retired 17th May 2026
I played the 4th and final Saint's Row many years ago on the PlayStation 3 and really enjoyed my time. I do know a lot of the fans were not happy with the 4th game as the first few games started out very GTA like games and the 3rd and especially the 4th game were quite over the top and comical.
The over top-ness of the 4th game was the reason why I enjoyed my time, but lately I thought I would like to try the very first game to see what the beginnings of the series were like.
Well, I played a little of the game, and yes the first Saint's Row is very much like a GTA game. I am not the biggest fan of GTA (which is probably why I am a fan of the 4th Saint's Row) and the first Saint's Row gave me a similar vibe.
When playing Saint's Row I thought it was a well made game and I can see why people enjoy it, but I felt like I played enough of the game and decided to retire it.
It is by no means a bad game, but it is just not my sort of game - I did enjoy driving around listening to the classical music radio station.
