If Grand Theft Auto was never released, Jack Thompson would be out of the job and Saints Row would have been the best game ever made. This isn't the case, and Saints Row was mediocre at best. I never got into it, but I might try to go back into the glitch filled paradise to see these explosions.  

I never remember this game looking that good. The fire is awesome and the explosions rock. It creates a nice domino effect down the line of busted cars and creates an explosion worth noticing. It also ends with the character dying - an instant plus for Explosion Tuesday (as noted in the Explosion Tuesday Official Handbook, 4th Edition).
