Joystiq has their meta-review link up for Saint’s row…  here

And I have to say I mostly agree.  I’d been hankering for some urban sandbox action on the three-sitty, and this hits the spot. 

I really have to take exception to the 1up review though.  It’s cool that they’re docking it for unoriginality, that seems fair and all, but that review is really an indictment of the genre, and the last paragraph really shows the reviewers bias.  If you want an open ended game that you can endlessly replay, jump online or just make pedestrians leap 15ft barriers in fear, it’s a great game. 

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with perfecting a genre, and as of now, this is the one to beat.

We’ll see what Just Cause, Crackdown, and GTAIV have to offer the mix…  

So what would you like to see in the ultimate urban sandbox adventure?
