Saints Row high review score?

I must admit, Saints Row is an addictive game, just like an other sandbox title.  I'm very disappointed, however, in the glitches, freezes, and multiplayer lag that I encounter when I play.  For a company as well known as THQ, you would think they would take a bit more pride in their work.  Ah well, I guess we'll just have to wait for a patch to get things running smoothly...That's one thing I hate about "Nex-Gen" and constantly being connected to the Internet.  It's almost as if consoles were moving to migrate with PC's.  The whole reason I like consoles is for the fact I don't have to update my games.  Why must it come to this!
