I’ve been a GTA addict since the first PC game, but even I can see where Saint’s Row exceeded GTA IV in intoducing gameplay elements. SR has friends that unlock after missions to give you bonus abilities. GTA IV makes you play the Sims to keep those friends appeased. SR brought in the cellphone to call for friends/servies, access cheats, or just call numbers on billboards for a laugh. GTA IV used it too, but none of the numbers in the game work. SR lets you customise cars and has an amazing garage system. GTA IV lets you wash them (why???) and then pray they don’t get knocked out of the yellow lines where you parked them.

GTA IV is definately more immersive, and unlike SR you can free roam after completion. Still, after 100% I’m finding that I’m just waiting for the DLC for something new to do.

Yes, Niko kicks ass (best protagonist since Tommy) but there’s still a lot of room for improvement in the next GTA.
