    Altough i had fun, in my opinion Saints Row The Third went too over the top for it's own good, they should've stuck with the vibe and tone of previous 2 games, but i guess that wouldnt guarantee as many sales.

From a business perspective i can understand why they went for more mass appeal, but as a fan of the style that Saints Row 1 and 2 had, i'm disappointed. Saints Row 1 and 2 werent mere GTA clones, they were much more than that, but i guess constant and ignorant games journalist whining about them being such, really must've went to Volition's heart...shame.

    So what does SR3 has to offer? Well one major downgrade makes it self obvious quite fast, and it's the city of Steelport. It's a very bland and generic looking game world. No more there's the strong distinctiveness of each district or even interactivity, where ever you travel in Steelport you struggle to tell one location apart from another, it all looks so uninspired. No more there are numerous interesting interiors to explore either, it's a very limited sand box compared to Stillwater.

    Gameplay wise the driving is atleast somewhat of an improvement over SR2, but it still doesnt feel anywhere near as satisfying as GTA driving mechanics for example. Combat mechanics in SR3 feel different than those of SR2, but i wouldnt say better, it depends on individual guns, some feel weighty and satisfying to use, some feel too cartoony. The gun upgrade system was annoying too since you couldnt remove applied upgrades, such as silencer, once you have bought them.

    Character creation and customization also take a few steps back. While it sees a couple of new additions like the ''Sex Appeal'' slider (more games need this), overall no longer there is the depth of the SR2 creator, unless you view addition of something chrome or green skin tones as a major addition. Clothing no longer supports layering either. You can buy more property in SR3, but you cant do anything with it past that, it only generates income. When you take over a gang stronghold (basically an alternative to SR2's crib), it's customization also is very basic compared to what you could do with cribs in SR2.

    Story in SR3 for as crazy it can get, still is kinda fun. It's dumb, stupid fun at that, but even with my disappointment in how it diverted from SR2, i struggle to outright hate it. However one major mistake the story makes is killing off Gat, right at the beggining at that, that was pretty idiotic and i still have no idea WTF Volition was thinking, he pretty much had become the soul of the series. The 3 main gangs of SR3 also are much more generic compared to the cool, interesting gangs of Stillwater.    … Expand

The voice acting (You can pick from over six voices, including the legendary Nolan North), the character customization (which is endless), and the story will keep you coming back. 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.
    Another thing: If you are easily offended, as stated by another review, don't buy it.
    But please, do yourself a favor, and get out, and get this amazing game!    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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!!

    The game that transformed the franchise from a GTA wannabe to one of the most entertaining things on earth. Funny, violent, satirical, hysterical. You might find it over the top, but I can't imagine a single person not having a good time playing this.

    This game is a more light-hearted, non-subtle take on GTA. Can be a lot of fun but after years of playing Arma I found the combat mechanics a little too bland. I didn't quite like it enough to continue after starting a campaign.

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

    The game is great because it's funny & entertaining but setting the funny stuff aside the missions are unique some are challenging. for me this is one of the most underrated open world games. In my opinion i love this game better than gta IV. I gave it an 8 simply because i felt the game was too short, the game has an awesome Story-line but it was short.

    These recommendations come with a boatload of “ifs.
    It's only held back by a few issues (or stiff competition).

Even your combat moves are awesome (plus you can litterally break the balls of your opponents with a huge dose of style).

    Negative points now. The game is quite slow to launch and load. Coop system is broken. There is way too much extra content (and some are really disappointing). There are a few really stupid, dull and repetitive missions (like the insurance and the assassination/car theft things). Having all the extra content will make the game much easier: all your movements (in vehicules) will be faster and opponents will be easily killed by your outstanding cheated weapons.    … 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 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

    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 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.
