From shooting mascots during Genki to beating gang members to death with a giant purple...marital aid...this game is everything you'd expect from Saints Row, and then a bit more. The vehicle customization is back and better than ever, the gangs more ridiculous and awesome as ever, and all the best activities and diversions (with one exception) returning, this game is literally all about a good time and then some. For pure, unadulterated fun, there's no better game out there.
This game is in my permanent collection, and for good reason. The visuals are solid, the gunplay has been improved, and the controls are tight. Simply put, this is the most fun I've had with a game in years, and you would be doing yourself a major discredit if you don't at least give this game a shot.

RENT BEFORE YOU BUY

Don't get me wrong, this game offers endless hours of fun and gameplay, but the repetitive vulgarity and unnecessary off color situations detract from the game.
The M rating is an obvious hint from the get go, but the primary difference from it's main competitor in the GTA series is that there is no realism to the game, to include the weapons and gun play. This can be very fun for a while, but becomes frustrating during the more difficult gang fights as your are overwhelmed fast with the ridiculous firepower and are essentially forces to duck and run until health comes back.
The graphics aren't a whole lot different from SR2, but you can definitely see the similarities in the character models in GTAIV and the blur effect in vehicles. It is a definite step up from the previous two, but still has more of an arcade feel to it.
This game was loads of fun, but i strongly suggest renting and testing if the over the top humor and gameplay is what you are looking for as I feel many GTA fans will get bored. Overall a very well made game, just try before you buy!

My only real issue with this game, was it caused screen burn very rapidly. I have played well over 200+ hours on my TV with no issues, until I played this game.

That was already the main talk about this game. There is alot more to it though! The gameplay was great, the storyline was straightforward and pretty much went along with the theme of the game and it still hit home for us personally as Saints Row Lovers~
What's weird was that usually my mother cant put the game down (refferreing to Saints row and Saints row 2) but with the third she could easily discard it from her mind and choose a different game. (Just for the record this is her daughter writing the review~) Knowing that I think that something is missing from this game, cant tell what it is exactly but to us hardcore gamers, it needs a little something more~! :)
Im not giving it a low rating because of this though because I just love Saints Row, but this could help in thier future progress in sequels or whatever~ So yeah, it deserves a 10 still, maybe a 9, but im too weird to give it a 9 so LOL, in your face! XD

In this game you are free to do what you want don't want to do a side mission then don't do it and go to the one you want to do. YOU don't even have to play the story. You no longer need respect to move on with main storyline, but you still can earn respect in the game as it is used to upgrade you weapons and other items. Respect can be earned by during the side mission/Activities. Also you can create your own main character. You can get a head start on it now by downloading the Saints Row Initiation Station that is out for PSN/XBLA as you wait for your game. Overall Saint Row the third is just game that want you to sit down and enjoy playing it.

You can do pretty much anything in Saints Row 3. The game really shines in the realm of customization. Your character can be customized however you like. If you want to be just a normal person go ahead or if you want to be a topless girl with small panties you can do that too. It's stuff like this that make Saints Row unique. The missions are action packed from the getgo. The games main story will take the average player around 20 hours to beat, there are also a lot of sidemissions in the game.
The minigames in this game are ridiculous. One will have you running head on into live traffic to hurt yourself as much as possible, the more you get hurt the more money you earn.
Overall SR3 is a must have game. It's an experience that's so addictive and over the top that you'll just never want to put the controller down.

Saints Row The Third seemed short with a weak story, a wee bit repetitive, some of the model changes were really upsetting (Dang it Shaundi!) . With F-bombs being thrown everywhere, the fights seemed unfair and many of the activities seemed impossible and there were times that I felt like just shutting off the system because I was frustrated from dying too easily.
That being said, I still enjoyed this game. Once you get pass the rough edges, it's charming and addictive. It's obviously not a game you should play in front of kids, the M rating is enough proof of that. I'll be honest, I needed the co-op on some of the missions/activities, but it made it more fun! You don't need respect to progress in the game anymore, but boy you better use it and money wisely for your upgrades. Some of the dialogue had me in stitches at times, but yes some toilet humor is common in it.
I don't think it's worth 60 bucks, but I do think it's worth a try for anyone who likes sandbox games and the ability to just have fun and mayhem!

The thing that killed Saints Row The Third for me was the story. I can't possibly imagine ANYONE giving this game a perfect score with the horrible story Violition glued onto it. There will be times you have no idea whats going on and other times you wont even realize you have killed an important bad guy. Watch, you will see. Also the soundtrack was horrible. And SR2 soundtrack was amazing! Last but not least you are not able to play co-op without paying $10. And SR3 city is dead and boring, unlike Stillwater.
Please, this is coming from someone who LOVED SR2, do not get your hopes up and believe these suspect perfect reviews. It will be a dissapointment if you are a die hard fan of SR2.
