I think it's pretty good myself. You can seemingly do more stuff then in GTA.

I really think releasing demos in the marketplace is a bad idea. It will only hurt the sells of ****ty games.

I SINCERELY DOUBT THAT. I HAVEN'T HEARD/READ ANYONE MENTION ANY OF THE FOLLOWING BEING POSSIBLE IN 'SAINT'S ROW':
  • BASE JUMPING
  • SKYDIVING/PARACHUTING FROM A PLANE
  • FLYING VARIOUS AIRCRAFT
  • DRIVING BOATS
  • DOING STUNTS ON BIKES/MOTORCYLES


JUST TO NAME A FEW.........NOT TO MENTION, THE NEAR-FLAWLESS EXECUTION/IMPLEMENTATION OF PRETTY MUCH EVERY THING THEY PUT IN THE GAME (EXCEPT FOR THE GRAPHICS......WHICH IS DUE TO BEING BUILT ON THE 'PS2' HARDWARE). 'GTA:SA', REGARDLESS OF IT'S NOTORIETY/LAWSUITS, WILL NEVER BE TOPPED......UNLESS BY 'GTA4'.

In terms of crimes and stuff. You can hold up stores like in GTA but you can also take people hostage inside and have the cops come. Pretty awesome.

AS WELL IT SHOULD. BUT, IT'S STILL A GREAT ASSET, WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE SUCCESSES OF OTHER GAMES, LIKE 'FNR3' AND 'LOST PLANET'. IT WORKS BOTH WAYS........GOOD DEMOS WILL SELL GAMES.......BAD DEMOS WON'T. THE 'HITMAN:BLOODMONEY' DEMO SHOULD'VE NEVER BEEN RELEASED, IMO.

What was in the Hitman demo? The very first level, the little amusement park one?

If so, that would be a stupid move, considering that mission was a tut and absolute trash.

Why the hell would they do that? That's just ****ing stupid. They could have included both the tut and, like, the Suburban level or somthing, if they figured we we're to dumb to figure out how to play the game.

CORRECT, ON ALL ACCOUNTS. THAT, AND THE FACT THAT IT'S JUST AN 'XBOX' PORT, IS WHY I DIDN'T CARE FOR IT. BUT, IF I EVERY FIND IT FOR LIKE $20, I'LL PICK IT UP, MAYBE.
