    This is a real fun game. I loved it. The plot isn't amazing and the graphics won't blow your mind, but there's a ton of stuff to do and it will take your mind off things cause it's really funny.

    This was the first SR game I ever played and it was right before the release of the Saints Row 4. This just got me into this series and I was laughing hard while playing this brilliant game. All the jokes, easter eggs, amazing characters... I just needed something like this!

    Just a ton of fun! Completely absurd but a great way to blow off some steam. The voice acting and comedy were top-notch. This was the first Saints Row that I played and it totally had me hooked.

The game does not have any **** self-condemnation as the player is put right into a supreme gang which has a penthouse with women with size ZZZ breasts and the most alpha men one can imagine. Saints Row Three makes players feel absolutely badass, which is connected to its unforgiving but most importantly extremely entertaining gameplay and, as I must say, three-foot long purple **** Expand

    It's kind of strange to make an open-world game whose story & missions are shorter and more concise than its predecessor. Isn't an open-world game about having a ton of stuff to explore and do? Which to me is the conundrum of Saints Row: The Third. It's still a fun game, and recommended, but a lack of content volume (not variety) disappoints after the plethora of activities in Saints RowIt's kind of strange to make an open-world game whose story & missions are shorter and more concise than its predecessor. Isn't an open-world game about having a ton of stuff to explore and do? Which to me is the conundrum of Saints Row: The Third. It's still a fun game, and recommended, but a lack of content volume (not variety) disappoints after the plethora of activities in Saints Row 2.

    + Good gun-play, character upgrade path, weapon upgrade path.
    + Graphics are really good (DX11) if your machine is powerful enough to turn the settings up (a far render distance is pretty taxing).
    + The story is ostentatiously stupid fun - like a fantastic B-movie - if you can enjoy it for what it is, and not expect something more serious like Saints Row 2.
    + Good voice acting from everyone.
    + Some fun new activities, and most of the old activities are back: Escort, Trail-blazing, Mayhem, Hostage, and more, as well as new variants (like Tank Mayhem), or new activities entirely (Guardian Angel, Assassinations).
    + Autos are still customizeable, most of the options staying the same. The vehicles drive better than than the ones in SR2, though there are fewer varieties.
    +Tons of personal costume and character customizations.

    + / - Lots of R-rated content. Just saying. I mean, it is a Saints Row game. But when one of the available melee weapons is a giant d**k bat that is called the "Penetrator" - yeah... For maximum safety, make sure your mom (or anyone else who might object) can't walk in on you while you're playing Saints Row: The Third.

    - While the activites are fun, and there are a lot of activity icons that appear on the map, there aren't very many of them. In Sants Row 2, each activity had 6 levels to be completed. Here, there is just ONE instance of each activity at a map icon. Early in the game, completing some activities unlocks more of the same activity (at another location) at a higher difficulty, which is fine. But there is a LOT LESS content here. Got the game to 92% completion in 32.3 hours.
    - Lots of DLC. With a lot less content already, be sure to get Saints Row: The Third - The Full Package - or don't bother buying the game.
    - Crib customization is GONE. This really bummed me. Yes, there are three cribs / strongholds that can be upgraded, but the upgrades are all pre-determined, and don't change look / layout of your crib (upgrading can make the building taller, giving you a higher view, but that's about it).

    Temper your content expectations and Saints Row: The Third becomes a gleeful B-movie romp, missing the seriousness of Saints Row 2 and the all-out insanity of Saints Row IV. Heartily recommended.

I have replayed this game more times than I can count. Its a blast with a friend, and I just have to express my love for this crude and offensive game.

    Once upon a time, Volition made an open-world game that got positive reception, yet everyone considered it to be a GTA clone. So they tried for a second time, and released a comedic sequel that, yet again, everyone considered to be a GTA clone. And thus they tried for a third time, creating a game that exceeds the absurd, and goes beyond the over-the-top. Saints Row: The Third was born.Once upon a time, Volition made an open-world game that got positive reception, yet everyone considered it to be a GTA clone. So they tried for a second time, and released a comedic sequel that, yet again, everyone considered to be a GTA clone. And thus they tried for a third time, creating a game that exceeds the absurd, and goes beyond the over-the-top. Saints Row: The Third was born. Now, it has a unique identity to call its own.

    Saints Row 3 is explosive, fun, and crude. The game relishes itself in the most immature and ridiculous things that its developers can conjure; one moment, you're chaperoning "escorts" and tigers around the city; next thing you know, you're driving light cycles in VR, and shooting mascots in a murder-themed game show. Seriously, nothing ever makes sense in this game. Have you ever wacked someone with a 48" 3-pound ♥♥♥♥♥ bat? Make your dream come true, and stick that thing up the citizens of Steelport.

    But what do you actually do in SR3? It isn't just mindless fun, is it? Well, it actually is. However, you're given the task of growing your gang, and taking revenge on The Syndicate. To do that, you need to earn - or steal - money by doing various mindless activities across the map. With enough money, you can spend it on skills, bonuses, and customization options. Only when you're strong enough, can you handle the huge mobs and vehicles that come in your way. You want to rule Steelport? Buy all of the properties, participate in the activities, and defeat your rival gangs. Better yet, do it in a gimp suit, with your co-op buddy dressed as a priest, and an army of nudists backing you. Too bad the gimp-driven pony carts only appear in one mission. Good thing we have talented modders, right?

    And there you have it.

    + Angel de la Muerte!!!

    Cons:
    - Some performance issues and bugs. Nothing crazy though. Graphics are not top notch, but I like the art design.
    - Relatively empty cities compared to a GTA... Doesn't feel crowded... However, there are many fun activities to do!!

You will find all sorts of jokes you share with your high school friends in a video game format, use **** as melee weapons, engage with all sorts of sex tools and let’s not forget the cast, one of the gang members is voiced by Sasha Grey. Saints Row’s greatest achievement is the cohesion of its absurd moments. From start to finish, you can feel that the game doesn’t take itself seriously and never expects you to feel any differently. The game throws all sorts of weapons and vehicles at your face and just wants you to enjoy the ride.

    It is not, however, without flaws. Plenty of bugs and glitches will annoy you throughout the game. The game is very easy even in hardcore difficulty and most deaths will be caused by the stupidity of teammate AI. So, if you enjoy challenge, you won’t find it here. Also, the story is, although intentionally, a complete mess and the chances are you will not remember much of it after you beat the game.

    Although this was my first Saints Row game, I did not feel a stranger to the series. The coop mode was a good excuse for me and my friend to try it out and overall, we were not disappointed. Saints Row: The Third is a great choice for anyone looking for a very accessible and enjoyable GTA-like game.

You no more than start the quest and it immediately fails. I have tried this game on three different platforms and they are all broken in exactly the same place.

    СВЯТЫЕ С ТРЕТЬЕЙ УЛИЦЫ

    Saints Row уже давно известна среди геймеров как "безумная GTA". И разработчики не прогадали со своей формулой. Третья часть серии представляет из себя золотую середину, где в равных пропорциях смешана серьёзная криминальная история и безумства героев.

    Но прежде чем перейти к основному рассказу, я хочу отметить важную деталь - эта игра очень стильная. Музыка при выборе одежды и во время загрузок, оформление меню и других деталей - всё это хорошо влияет на атмосферу и приятно глазу.

    Теперь к сюжету. Банда святых стали известными и популярными. Теперь это не просто бандитская группировка, а целый бренд, под логотипом которого выходит одежда, игрушки и энергетики. Но в один неудачный день они решили удивить всех новым шоу - ограбить банк. И вот незадача: банк этот оказался во владениях более влиятельной и обширной группировки "Синдикат". В один миг святые потеряли своё состояние и влияние, а главный антагонист поставил их на "счётчик" - либо вы отдаёте нам большую часть заработанных денег, либо обречены на смерть. Главный герой в лице безымянного босса вместе со своими соратниками радикально показывают, что такой расклад их не устраивает. В новом городе святым предстоит восстать из пепла и заново отстроить империю.

    Поскольку это криминальный боевик, примерный игровой процесс всем понятен. Угон машин, заказные убийства, разрушение и хаос - вот чем предстоит заниматься в течение прохождения. Всё это разбавляется разнообразным вооружением и глубокой персонализацией как персонажа, так и транспорта.

    Нельзя не отметить, что в игре присутствует открытый мир. Делать в нём откровенно нечего - покупай здания, собирай коллекционные предметы, да сражайся с врагами. Но сама схема города дала хорошие возможности для сюжетных манёвров, что позволило разработчикам создать непохожие друг на друга миссии.

    Этот боевик понравится не только фанатам GTA, но и всем остальным игрокам, которым по душе криминальные разборки. Saints Row The Third смогла стать самостоятельной игрой, которую уже нельзя назвать клоном известной серии.

    Прошёл игру буквально вот сегодня и буря, нет моря эмоций!

    Сюжет и некоторые детали :
    Сюжет тут прекрасен и очень многое стебёт, так мне зашла шутка в конце игры про шестой эпизод “Звёздные Войны”. Нас снова знакомят с бандой святых, которой мы являемся главным. Улучшенный редактор персонажа, что очень сильно порадовал и конечно кооператив. В игре как по мне два главных героя, это кончено же мы и Шаунди! Кстати один интересны момент… Всю игру я ждал : “Да убейте же вы уже Шауди! В таких играх обязательно должен умереть главный герой!” И тут бац, и игра нам даёт выбор. Концовка тоже очень порадовала, хотя и кажется какой-то страной.

    Музыка :
    Я не знаю даже что сказать… Музыка тут на уровне Assassin’s Creed 2, такая же шедевральна и божественная. НО! Одно большое НО! Музыка мне больше всего понравилась в Saints Row, нежели в какой-то другой игре. Повторюсь лучший саундтрек из всех игр, что я проходил и играл!

    Персонажей :
    Персонажей в Saints Row много. Но большая часть их это наши союзники. А вот злодеев мало. КАБАН, Синдикат, Лучадоры…эммм всё. А ну есть ещё журналистка, но она то появляется, то нет. Но вот битвы с ними красочные, а ещё с это музыкой то вообще классно!

    Маленький, но очень приятный плюс :
    Не знаю, как другим, но мне город Saints Row The Third напоминаем чем-то город и Spider Man Web of Shadows. Да ещё и главный герой Олег напоминает немного Люк Кейджа (ну это, наверное, только мне).

    В финале, рекомендую к покупке эту игру каждому! Не зря же у неё такие высокие оценки! :)

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area.

    Saints Row The 3rd was the first game I played on my Xbox 360. I played this game again because my Xbox 360 can't properly access the internet properly and it does not have DLCs but thanks to Steam I finally learned how to get it. The game has completely over-the-top action than previous games like Grand Theft Auto 4. The best reason that I need to play is character creation. Before GrandSaints Row The 3rd was the first game I played on my Xbox 360. I played this game again because my Xbox 360 can't properly access the internet properly and it does not have DLCs but thanks to Steam I finally learned how to get it. The game has completely over-the-top action than previous games like Grand Theft Auto 4. The best reason that I need to play is character creation. Before Grand Theft Auto Online you can actually create your character in this open-world game after the first mission of Saints Row. Another best reason is that you have creative ways to kill an enemy. The best part of infighting is attacking enemies with a takedown by a takedown. If you add a max bulletproof upgrade it makes you invincible without getting killed by bullets. The weapons in the game are completely over the top. One of my favorite weapons in the game is the SA-3 Airstrike also known as the airstrike gun because it is good for sending airplane backup instead of calling airstrike with the phone. Even though there are no planes in the airstrike when shooting it in the air. One new enemies additions to the game are specialists and brutes. They are almost like mini bosses but with a faster way to kill for a few minutes or seconds. The story unlike Saints Row and Saints Row 2 is completely out of the box as in unexpected and completely insane like clones, murder game shows, 3D cyber hacking while riding cyber bikes and fighting cyber knights, a special military force named STAG, wrestling, and 3rd Street Saints are now turning into celebrities icons than criminals. Although the biggest issue is driving in the game. Because I can't hear the sounds of the car including the nitro.

    In conclusion, if you want your kills to get creative well just like Saints Row 4 this game is also for you.

    Z serią SR wiąże mnie ogromny sentyment, więc recenzja nie będzie do końca obiektywna. Otwarty gangsterski świat, w którym idzie się wczuć jak w mało jakiej grze z otwartym miastem. Niedbała grafika, drewniany movement, oraz prostackie teksty to coś, do czego nie można się przekonać. To trzeba po prostu czuć od samego początku.

To trzeba po prostu czuć od samego początku. Gracze nowoczesnych gier nie zrozumieją naszego zamiłowania do tej gry, mimo to zdaję sobie sprawę, że gra nie została zrobiona na najwyższym budżecie. Mimo to uwielbiam grać w tę grę, aby odciąć się od rzeczywistości i zasmakować tego chorego świata w którym dzieją się rzeczy, jakich ciężko doświadczyć gdziekolwiek. Expand

    A lot more unabashedly silly than its predecessor. A fun snadbox with lots of wacky tools to play with, it ends up lacking depth or narrative heart but kicking ass for most of the way through.

    The main difference between GTA and Saints Row is that, while Rockstar's infamous franchise seems to grow and mature as the years go by (like whiskey), Volition's sandbox follows the exact opposite path. Each chapter is more wacky than the last, its satirical approach uses extreme, adult- even vulgar humor and intense violence, to the point where one can only childishly giggle.

    Remarkable and technically excellent urban action game comes with hilarious characters and catchy cooperative mode. Passive environment and repetitive content sunk the final verdict down. [Christmas 2011]

    This game is magic. Occasionally offensive and funny magic, but magic nonetheless.
