Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox 360) Review: Rockstar Almost Perfects The Sandbox Game

Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox 360) Review: Rockstar Almost Perfects The Sandbox Game

You can take to the streets by bicycle for triathlons, among the many other things San Andreas offers.

A few years ago, I was invited to spend a few days in Orlando at Universal Studios’ parks. Every moment I was there, I was overwhelmed by the attention to detail. From the hotel rooms and signage to the parks and customs, everything was seemingly hand-crafted for a purpose, an artist’s hand behind each and every aspect. Nothing was stock or cloned. I’d been to amusement parks before, but this was so much different. It was incredible how much was attempting to grab my attention at any time. Playing Grand Theft Auto V, I felt the same thing: I was visually overwhelmed, but also distracted by any number of side quests and other kitschy activities that didn’t really exist in previous games. Thankfully, that’s what you get when you make the most expensive video game in history. While Rockstar still hasn’t learned all the lessons of its competition, it’s made a sandbox game for the ages.

‘Saints Row IV’ (PC) Review: A Dose Of Virtual Insanity

‘Saints Row IV’ (PC) Review: A Dose Of Virtual Insanity

You’ll be running so damn much in Saints Row IV.

It’s hard not to look back and think about how much of a break Saints Row: The Third was for the series. What was once just a technically-proficient and cartoon-y Grand Theft Auto-like became a collection plate for every bizarre game idea developer Volition could think of. Like dildo bats. Since the series has become a race to become the most ridiculous sandbox game ever, I wondered what was left to do – or what could be done – in a sequel that finds itself in storefronts less than two years after its predecessor. The result is Saints Row IV, a game that simultaneously feels more ridiculous and less adventurous. Read the rest of this article…
