It's an Xbox 360 game and not one of the good ones

Yes, absolutely horrendous.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
I bet there are better ways to spend your time.

Perfect description.
I waited til it was on sale and I still have regrets. The story / characters are ok at best. The open world is boring, the driving feels like shit, and the combat is mediocre.
I’d give it a 4/10.

I ignored the reviews and bought it at launch. I played about 10 hours and I just kept feeling it was missing something.
Turns out what was missing was “fun”. It’s a game, but it’s not fun to play in any capacity. It’s also the most forgettable game I’ve ever played. I sold it, but If someone gave it to me for free I still wouldn’t finish it.

that is 26 pounds you will NEVER get back. It is money you earned by the sweat of your brow and it will be lost to you FOREVER in exchange for the Saints Row videogame.
I enjoyed it.

And money!
I've worked it all out for him anyway, for a better time
On Amazon..
£8.93p, Claw hammer
£8.23p, P60 Sand paper
£2.00p, Bic female disposable razors (Use the female ones for more hair pulling)
£3.00, Hospital grade sanitizer spray
1st, shave you nuts with the razor
2nd, give a good firm rub down with the P60
3rd, apply a few hits with the hammer, claw part too
4th, clean up with the spray
Step 5, know you've had a better time than playing the new Saints Row and be pleased you have some change left over.

I've played only an hour of it.
It's a normal saints row game with less edge to it.
Seems like a 360 shooter. Nothing terrible but no experience with it.
I've got it for 10$ and seems good especially for that price.
The graphics and HDR are nice. Stuff explodes good. It's not the worst time to relax and put your mind on hold
It just seems shallow and void of good action. Everything here is fine and it's just more saints row... but it's not the same without classic characters maybe

Game was so bad it caused management to rethink how they greenlight new games.
The reboot is terrible, avoid it unless you like cringy millennial humor.
The first two are pretty good and can still be bought on the Xbox One/Series, they're even on sale:
Saints Row
Saints Row 2
Avoid the PC version of Saints Row 2, it's a horrible port and misses out DLC.

Yes, it’s awful. It’s got 15 year old gameplay that’s repetitive as fuck but has none of the charm or goofiness of the old Saints Row games which covered up those shortcomings. The characters themselves are awful, the premise is dumb as hell (we cant afford our student loans so let’s make a gang to make Santa Ileso better… by murdering and extorting everyone!). The vehicle controls are pure ass.
About the only things I enjoyed from my playthrough were the fake National Park Service kiosks and the radio station being Weird Al “UHF” references.

It is, get saints row the third remastered and saints row 4 re-elected and play those instead

There are definitely better games to be had for that price at the very least.
Well if it can't enjoy itself why bother? Admittedly it might have been the only thing to enjoy it.

Ummm terrible? no, but not great also, some will say not even good, i did manage to enjoy it in the end but it's totally mediocre.
Pros: it runs at 60fps on PS5 which is super important to me. Songs while driving can be awesome, there's on station i can't remember it's name that i like all the songs.
Gameplay loop is nice, there's isn't depth here but driving and shooting is nice.
Cons: it looks not so good and i had noticeable ghosting when MC moves, so graphically i wasn't satisfied.
Story and characters are meh.
Previous SR were better.
I got it for 30 bucks and it was ok i guess, 20 seems more like it.

The game is fun to mess around with for a weekend but after that the novelty wears off quickly. The characters are mostly trash, although they have their moments. I think there is fun to be had in the game but its nothing you haven't done before. The games graphics are serviceable but you can definitely tell it was developed for last gen but it does run nice on the new consoles. $20-30 dollars seems like a fair price for the entire experience.

Just couldn't get into it. I played part 3 coop for a while and it was ok.

I wouldn't pick this up unless it was on gamepass or in ps plus. It could be a decent 15 hour distraction like you said but for a triple-A game it just doesn't look very good. I feel like it's another Crackdown 3 situation. Not a terrible game when you're playing it with zero expectations just to kill some time, but otherwise unexceptional in almost every way and not worth more than 5 bucks on sale.

2 is a lot more fun than the modern GTAs that have you bowling and playing tennis. Fuck SR after 2 though, as it just got too dumb/goofy
