Armageddon is a more linear game with a tighter focus on what’s fun, but that tighter focus also makes the game indistinguishable from other third-person shooters.

Saints Row

While Saint's Row gets much of the successful elements of Grand Theft Auto right, it is chiefly the next-gen shininess and slick graphics that are, perhaps, the only thing that developer Volition has in some sense "gotten wrong."
