MOBILE PHONE SAINT’S ROW IS, AMAZINGLY, ABOUT EARNING ‘RESPECT’ AND BEING A ‘GANGSTA’ IN A ‘GRITTY URBAN’ WORLD
And incredibly, you earn this respect by performing tasks for gang bosses and winning races. In a further refreshing twist, the money you earn may then be spent on modifying your car.
This is the press release for mobile Saint’s Row. We’d rather work in a meat factory that processes pig anuses into sausages, picking out the lumps of gristle from the raw pig anuses for 25p a week than have to write press releases like this as a job:
If you work for THQ or any other company that regularly writes words like ‘respect’, ‘notoriety’ and ‘gangsta’ up on its meeting room whiteboard, we’re here to help. Our confidential 24-hour helpline is waiting for your call.

Saints Row is “already receiving rave reviews from the press”?
Where’s that then?
Metacritic only has two reviews up – both from the Official X-Box Magazine (lacks the ‘intelligence’ of GTA, apparently), and they only give it 80%, which is the ‘official’ mag equivalent of cutting its throat and leaving to die in a gutter.

Although I hate all Gangsta! games, I think you are missing the point. Just because you are gaining “respect” doesnt mean its the right kind of respect.
So..you are gaining respect but really your not because the people that you think respect you dont really they are just using you. Once you gain lots of “respect” you will probably get “whacked” and then buried in the desert.
This form of “respect” is not the same as the respect Sonic has…apart from that game he had an Uzi.
