The good:

It successfully copies the oft-imitated-but-untouchable Grand Theft Auto formula
Fun, responsive driving controls are as good as on-foot shooting action
Impressive presentation, featuring amazing explosions and great audio
Mostly well-written, well-acted story will compel you to keep playing
Various little why-didn't-someone-think-of-that-sooner features

The bad:

In some ways, it will be familiar to a fault to anyone who's played much GTA
Some noticeable bugs and glitches
Not much variety to the mission design

The bottomline:

Saints Row may look like just another Grand Theft Auto rip-off, but the rare quality of its action and presentation make it stand tall on its own merits.
