Saints Row: The Third for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Before I stary, rest assure, I really enjoyed this game! I just think there were many issues it could prove upon, for instance, it was WAAAY to easy, and I was playing on the hardest difficulty... And the weapons seemed very limited, and had little to no improvement... The upgrades were very good! But personally went a bit overboard, of course you could always not buy them... The customization was AMAZING! I couldn't get enough! You can take any car or weapon to a chop shop or a gun store and upgrade it for reasonable prices! This game was a good game, but had no replay value what-so-ever except for laughs... It's a good game and I think everyone should give it a try, thank you for your time and I hope you have fun with Saint's Row!

First of all, this game is amazing,from sky diving to dressing as a big cat or dog, this is very fun.I like to play with my friend online and we have a great time.Lots of vehicles,jets,and helicopters.And you can customize your cars like adding spoilers,preformance,and paint.And now with the part you were wondering about zombies.At a certain part of the game a plane carrying chemicals crashes and wala zombies. However these are not bad they make the game more fun.And finally the guns.There are many guns from AR-55 to Grave Diggers(model 1887).They are fully upgradeable too. Overall i bought this game and i think you should too.

For anyone that enjoys many different cars tanks aerial vehicles this is a solid game not to mention if you dont want to do a mission at the time you can do others things from just running from the police,doing side missions,destroying stuff,or just collecting the colllectables, best thing is you can call in help in a mission have a chopper delivered to you or a tank or a car from your garage graphics are solid i have yet to come across a player hampering glitch controls are the same as number 2 if you dont like gang related movies games this is not for you and this is not a good game for kids under 16 very violent

This game feel like it take you back when you played for games for fun.They throw you into the game and you can do what ever you want right off the back.There are some things that you have to unlock but other then that mostly everything is already out there for you to play with.There are a lot of new and some returning side missions and jobs like Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax and also a fan fav Insurance Fraud.

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.

First off its got a LOT of things to make this game rated M, from Language to lots of other things.. its got a lot of humor in it and its pretty fun, its like Grand Theft Auto just with better graphics and a good story.

The bads.. i cant give this game no more than a 5 because it REQUIRES A ONLINE PASS...any game that requires a online pass to play with friends deserves half off on game rating because a online pass means i cant play online co-op unless i purchase the code for 10$ so yeah..

Good game just don't agree with the online pass part

I offer a shrug to this game. The tongue and cheek approach to the GTA style is amusing, but the joke wears thin very quickly in to the game, and you realize that aside from the running joke there's no substance. The story line is pretty nonexistent, the characters are shallow caricatures and don't inspire much compassion.
All in all, the game will probably be good fun if you're a big fan of formula car/gun GTA games and not looking for anything particularly ground breaking and don't care much for deep plots and good writing.
On the bright-side, the graphics are nice and the combat system isn't terrible. Driving controls aren't bad either, and I did really like the character customization system, which is pretty cool and unique for a game like this. I think I spent more time in the character customization than actually playing the game.
So yeah, I, an avid fan of RPG's, was not impressed by this title, but that's not to say you shouldn't rent it and try it for yourself and form your own opinion.

It is fun to blow stuff up and to customize your characters, but this SR didn't pull through like I thought it should. It could have gone a lot further than it did. The weapons customization was a nice addition, but there could have been more to it. Improvements to the graphics were nice. Everything else was a rehash of the 2nd game and didn't really give me the same pleasure. I was really looking to see some more creativity here, but someone let the ball drop. If you didn't play the previous 2, you will probably enjoy this more than if you did.

Love the game. So much to do you never can get bored. THQ did well adding a bunch of content.

I give this 9/10. I wanted to give it a 10 but felt that it needed a better mix of music (More 80s stuff for the older folks like me). Also the car and motocycle engine sounds do not match up with the amount of throttle that you apply.

Just cruising with the throttle in mid position the engine constantly revs and gears keep changing. I know this isn't a racing game but driving is a big part of SR3.

ONLINE PASS REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM LINK CO-OP?!!!!!!!

In the past, games like GTA have gotten up their own butts with the realistic shooting, driving, etc. SR3 is a throwback to the time when games were just plain fun and didn't take themselves too serious.

You play as an action hero style gang banger that can go anywhere, shoot anyone, and do just about anything you want. It is a true sandbox game....customization is everywhere, missions are stacked on top of missions, and too make it perfect? The ability to level up weapons and abilities in a slight RPG style. It is simply great!

HOWEVER......

This game is an example of game developers trying to stick it too people who rent games. In order to play THE SYSTEM LINK YOU HAVE TO BUY AN ONLINE PASS. It is a huge slap in the face. Even if you don't plan to go online, you have to pay just to hook into another Xbox via system link, and it is a huge rip off. I am the type of gamer who rents a game via Gamefly, then if I dig it, I shell out the $60+ to own it. I have been burned so many times by paying full price for new games that suck. This online pass is a huge thorn in my side every time I setup a system link game...I am reminded of the 800MS points I shelled out just to play with my wife who is sitting right next to me. It is the reason I give it a 6....the game deserves a 9.5, but the online pass is just too much to get over.

Saints Row: The Third feels like THQ took some of the best concepts from Grand Theft Auto - open world, sandbox, tons of side missions, plenty of shootouts - and turned the knob up to 11, while at the same time replacing the frustrating parts with absurd fun.

A lot of games now follow this concept; Red Dead Redemption, Red Faction, and even Rage offer players large worlds with plenty of quests to keep them busy. But few games allow you to call in UAV missile strikes, dress like a purple rabbit, or clobber enemies with a three foot long... um, "adult novelty toy."

It's not a perfect game, but it does most things very well, and more importantly, it makes sure you're having FUN, whatever it is you feel like doing in the game.

This is game is supposed to have a strong multi-player but you'll never know unless you pay for the online pass. So beware if thats what your renting it for.

this game is so cool. The best saints row ever the game is just outragious. Come on the penetrator

I for one am sick of game companies milking every cent out of people...59.99 is plenty esp for a glitchy half done game. people need to wake up and stop supporting publishers who use online pass or it will spread like the malignant cancerous growth it is.

I have GTA 4 and I have played it for many hours, but Saints Row is a much more outrageous endeavor. It has lots of adult humor, shooting and foul language so no youngsters should play this game. It has very good graphics day/night. Any car you take to your garage is yours to customize and the upgrades are numerous as well as the character design and upgrades. So good I had to buy it.

This is easily one of my favorite games ever! It's hilarious. Worth renting, definitely worth buying.

Peaple have been saying that this games is stupid becuase every thing is purple in the game but their wrong. I decided to try it out and it is great besides purple cars and saints, this is a game that people would want to keep and play for a long time. So any body who has not played this game or is saying bad things about it but has not played it, needs to try it out.

this game is great...starts out great and plays even better...one problem...no spinning rims (thats the only thing i hate considering i spend most the time customizing my cars)....other than that perfect game

This game is basically do anything you want when ever you want to except a few things you need to unlock other than that you can slap people with giant purple dildos or using the Apoca fist to blow people up to jumping in cars and the suck it up machine or the Johnny Gat mobile this is in fact the best saints row ever made because saints row 1 was o.k and 2 was horrible and saints row 3 is awesome

saints row the third is the best game you can get if you dont have it i feel bad for you

It is not like GTA it has its own personal story line

This game compared to the first two games is like trying to compare a ninja monkey rockstar from space riding a dinosaur and a rock.
I had extremely high hopes for this sequel after seeing the cg trailer.There is even a super awesome multiplayer which you can also play by yourself.Its the most random funny thing that i cant even explain it. It is exteremly enjoyable.

The weapons are even better than the last game one of my favorites is the adult toy bat.The story is really good.the first 3 missions get you hooked ad you will not be able to put the controller down.

the only down side is that you have to pay for online multipalyer.

While this is one of the better games for the Xbox - Saints Row seems to have taken a step back and not forward with the title. This game plays sort of like Grand Theft Auto -- Third person shooter with a world to explore in.

You play as the leader of the Saints...
The Saints are now a corporate power, house hold name -- People know who they are and buy their stuff... The Syndicate wants to own half of the Saint's shares but the Saints decide to take the Syndicate's town and business for their-selves.

Small map... Played the game for about two hours... I've seen it all. Its just like playing saints row 2 but there is a few things missing.
I was expecting something more elaborate in this title... Its like playing Saints Row2 but with HD graphics, a ~lil bit~ better driving controls, and a few extra character animations.

There is numerous bugs... I've rear ended a truck and fell in-between a bridge... The sound in the cars is sometimes annoying, making high pitch noises, but if you have the music on you don't notice it... Also sound is not always in synchronization with the automobiles... You can also burn out in cars and the tires stop spinning while burning out. Very limited car detail in car damages. Not very man new vehicles either... Lot of the models seem to just been re-textured or applied new HD color depth to them. Some of the lighting-effects doesn't fit well on the new textures, also. Many bugs!

I was really expecting a lot more expanded game play other than just a few extra textures, animations, and a new map -- That isn't much bigger than still water.

You will also have to purchase the game to play online co-op.. The co-op of Saints Row is known to be very fun. Running around doing the fun minigames is what made Saints Row fun, which makes me wonder why they removed so many minigames.

I wish they would put more time into this. It doesn't seem like it was even half complete. But its good and still fun, just incomplete.

alright all you gamers out there its time for a new review and todays review is saints row the 3rd let me put this out there who ever has played the frist 2 games or has not played them skip to the third one cause it actually has a story to it and how to do the missions and so forth the best saints row yet i cant put it down

This game beat me up.... all fun and game's. This start out with a bang and go no where but up.... But i dislike one. thing about this game.... THEY ARE MISSING ONE MAIN CHAR START WITH A J.. TICK me off
