Well, here is a perfect example why it is important to play a game as completely as possible before launching a review.
I was ready to publish my review of Saints Row on Monday morning when I ran across this game-stopping glitch on Sunday night doing a little non-review related gaming.
I need your help to see if this is just MY Xbox 360s doing this or an actual game issue. Watch the videos below, you will see what I did that glitched the game. Here is a basic explanation of what you are seeing:
Kill the first four people in the Charlestown Warehouse mission (Los Carnales stronghold). Do not kill the last two UNTIL you block the gates of the lot with bulldozers. Once the gate is blocked, kill the last two lieutenants and it will trigger the cut scene and start the next portion of the mission...within seconds the game will hard lock.
The objective of this mission is to keep control of the lot for a certain time period. It seemed logical to create a choke point / obstacle and pick off the invaders as they come in. Unfortunately this hard locks the game.
I have no feedback from Volition yet, we submitted this to them BUT, we do not know anyone personally at Volition so we had to use the standard "online submission" form...to no avail. That is why I am turning to you guys

At [H] Console, we think it is extremely important to play a game from beginning to end before releasing a review. While this means our reviews might not be out on day one, we can give a more complete look at a game and also find serious glitches / problems like this one in Saints Row. The glitch happens when you block the gates in the Charlestown Warehouse mission (Los Carnales stronghold) to keep attackers out. The game locks up completely making it impossible to finish. The glitch we found in the video below is 100% repeatable on all of our Xbox 360s but we would like your help to see if this is simply an issue with our copy of the game or if it is in the game itself.
