This was a sweet review of a relatively new release, an interesting change from your norm. I hope you continue reviewing plenty of retro games, but you did a nice job here. Below, I'm pointing out some sentences that didn't turn out quite the way you meant them to, I'm pretty sure.

Sometimes that limo makes its way across town before you can reach it, and you risk running down the lock.

Missions just the right balance of fun and challenge with worthwhile rewards.

Missing a word

None of the glitches are crippling, nor do the happen often, but many happen at the worst times.

Nor do THEY happen often...

Like I said, this was a sweet review. You did a good job of capturing just what makes Saint's Row a GTA clone worth experiencing, and what doesn't. I'm now more interested in the game than I was before reading your review.

Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

This game came out in 2006.

We are aware. Joe typically covers games that are much older. "Modern" was a relative term.

Right, but compared to what I normally review (NES era) this is pretty new.
