However, unlike the two previously mentioned, the difficulty curve isn't ridiculous. The first mission is very easy, and following there are many different mission "paths" that you can choose that introduce new weapons and abilities that make the game different and harder. It also reminds me of Borderlands in that it is very comical, there are little extras such as squid shooters or killing game shows that are easy but entertaining. There is little story, but this isn't a game to buy for the plotline. However, two things. First, if you have an ATI GPU, just don't get it on PC. Just don't. Despite the rare ATI ads in the starting sequence, ATI drivers always crash playing this game. My friend has an ATI and has the same problem, but my other friend has a NVIDIA and has no troubles. Also, for the style of the game, the non-destructible environments and unrealistic domestic AI (brutally attacking some random person and everybody else on the street not noticing) are a little annoying.… Expand

    A really good 'open-world'/sandbox type of game. Would say that this is way more superior than GTA IV on PC. At least it wasn't ported off console, and if it was, Volition did a great job in maintaining and increasing the GFX quality.
    However, being that the whole game was mostly themed 'purplish', i didn't really like the color.

    In my opinion, this game is just purely made for entainment, being a eye-candy. There isn't a big relevance in the DLC, missions. And i would say that it is not recommend to purchase the DLC (only during cheap steam sales). Vehicles, clothing and any small 'tiny' stuff aren't really worth the money. Depending on how you look at microtranscations in-game items.

    Would see what and how Saints Row IV would give this August. One of the 3 open-world games that i would surely purchase this year. This, Watch Dogs as well as GTA 5 (not confirmed on PC yet, sadly).

    Definitely worth buying, but not the FULL price on Steam. Look out for sales if you haven't bought the game.

    It's mad. In fact, it barely makes any sense at all. But for all its wonky bits, there's an odd charm to Volition's decision to leave nothing on the drawing board. It's not the largest sandbox, but it is packed full of brilliant toys. Saints Row: The Third's commitment to unrestricted, ridiculous fun is unflinching, and the product is a city full of glorious slapstick debauchery.

    A great gta style sandbox game with excellent player customization makes this game very enjoyable.

    However, when compared to SR2, the game falls flat in terms of story and content. here, the 1st 20 or so missions are just tutorials on various activities that were side quests in SR2.

    but its still worth a playthru, and SR4 is on the way!

    SAINTS ROW THE THIRD is the most unpretentious game I’ve played to date. It aims to be a gloriously over the top thrill ride and it succeeds with great aplomb. From start to finish it’s all-out mayhem. Nowhere else do you get the opportunity to batter someone with a huge adult toy or drive around town with an angry tiger in the passenger seat.

From start to finish it’s all-out mayhem. Nowhere else do you get the opportunity to batter someone with a huge adult toy or drive around town with an angry tiger in the passenger seat. Few games have actually made me laugh out loud but SRTT did. There are some truly hilarious moments and plenty of dry dialogue. The one-liners are delivered with perfection by the voice actors (I chose the English voice for the playable character – voiced by Robin Atkin Downes, I believe – and it fitted seamlessly). There have been criticisms that story missions feel more like side missions and I can understand this concern. But story is not really what this game is about. There has to be a narrative of sorts but it’s the freewheeling craziness of the gameplay that makes this game a joy. Graphically the game is pretty good without being notable. Steelport is nicely realised but some of the character models are less impressive. The soundtrack is worth a note as it includes some fantastic music from just about every genre imaginable. It may not be to everyone’s taste but if you fancy 15+ hours of riotous pandemonium (plus however many hours of coop, although I suspect it might get old quite quickly once you’ve finished the campaign and experienced all the hilarity and craziness) then you can’t go far wrong with this game.    … Expand

    Really fun game.
    Dumbed down version of SR1 and SR2, but still fun to play.
    Lots of comparisons to previous games and to GTA IV, but having played all of them,
    it deserves a place on its own.

    It was a pretty good game for me. I liked the gameplay of the story and the character customization. I felt like they could've improved in some areas such as expanding on the story more and I felt like it was a burden that I had to pay more for some DLC's that should have been apart of the game itself.

    This game can be define as very.. irreverent. It's just very fun to play it with some friends.

    From a technical point of view it's very good, and the gameplay mechanics are more arcade than a GTA game.

    The story is very stupid, but hey... that's the goal of the entire game.

The GTA series is still following the exact same cookie-cutter format from GTA3 way back on the PS2, but Saints Row has found a way to rebrand itself into something fresh.

    While GTA is still making you comb the city for one car you might like to hang on to and can only save it by precariously parking it in parallel spaces outside your apartment, Saints Row lets you fully customize just about any car you can find with colors, wheel spikes, nitro, etc, and can also have it delivered to you in the middle of the street with a simple cell phone call. Yes, this is a feature whose time has come since now you can actually use vehicles you like on missions instead of being scared to death your tank or FBI car will get blown up or fall off a bridge if you ever take it out for a ride.

    VTOL aircraft? Jet bike? With lasers? Yep, those are there, too. Controls are very tight, even for the aircraft, the on-foot combat is far superior to what is still, over a decade later, a clunky & broken system in GTA, and the PC version has full controller support.

    An actual reason to explore the city and complete side missions & challenges? Yes, the wealth of unlockable options available, from health upgrades to infinite ammo, to extra costumes for you & your followers, there are tons.

    It’s also refreshing that Saints Row refuses to take itself too seriously. Half of a GTA game nowadays is listening to endless dialogue & cutscenes, usually with some political bunk the devs think is very profound. But I’d rather have fun and play a game instead of get propagandized to when I’m paying for the experience. Maybe that’s just me.

    If you felt the same way about GTA4 that I did but still enjoy these types of games, SR3 won’t steer you wrong. Go for it. If you’re one of the GTA zombie fanboys slavishly giving that tripe 10 out 10 reviews, then don’t worry, GTAV will be out soon enough to give you more of the same.    … Expand

    This game was a gift from a friend, and in the beginning I played it here and there. About 8 hours of not really doing anything and just screwing around in the city while completing some missions, I found myself lost within the wonder of the city.

About 8 hours of not really doing anything and just screwing around in the city while completing some missions, I found myself lost within the wonder of the city. As I bought new games I let this one sit for a while, and I start to play it again a few months later, I start doing some more of the missions and this game pulls me back into the city, pulls me back into the wonder of Saints Row: The Third. The thing I can say whole-heartedly about this game is that it has an over the top unique style to it unmatched by other sandbox games and that's what really drew me into the world.

    This game gives you a sense of freedom and the ability to be who you want to be and do what you want to do. That's a hard thing to come by with games sometimes, and for SR3 to nail it perfectly can't be ignored.

    There's so many high points to this game, the missions are always fun, the gameplay is awesome, the controls are tight. The story is well rounded, over the top, and full of what the f*ck moments that leave you scratching your head. My favorite moment being the Tron world fighting the leader of the Deckers, Matt Miller. I don't want to spoil too much because what I'm obviously saying is, "Play this game, oh my god, you need to play this game."

    Now there are some gripes I do want to point out, now towards the end of the game, there's a mission involving zombies where you have to dispose of containers. This mission to me was a pain in the a**... You have to run container to container trying to avoid the zombies, and there's hoards coming at you from every which way. So it did get annoying trying to finish that mission. My other complaint is the ending mission, going to the three locations to fight off everything thrown at you. It was a bit much even being the final mission to the game.

    I honestly the low points in Three Way can easily be overlooked by the next part in the mission which brings the great story to a close. This game should not be overlooked, it's funny, over the top, amazing and unique. If you have the extra spending money or if you're thinking about getting it during a sale, what are you waiting for? Buy this game!

    I give it an 8.5/10 :)    … 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?

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.    … Expand

    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?

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.    … Expand

That if the game has bugs and the dlc are an abuse and they do not present something remarkable in my case, I played it completely and the dlc only gave me an hour and a half of game, not a big deal. Although it is quite good I like the customization of both the character and the vehicles and the gta style sandbox. It features many modifiable vehicles and weapons. I know the remake came out. But the only thing that changes the remake are the graphics and I got this game since I didn't have enough money and space. Well at last I wanted to contribute my grain of sand the game I like I recommend it… Expand

    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    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.    … Expand

    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.
