Tales of the Glitch Monkey

First, let me say once I unlocked "God Mode" this game got much more fun. I didn't use cheats. It was an upgrade unlocked by reaching the highest rank. That said, I finished the story at level 40 of 50. So, I had to grind out another 10 levels to get the good stuff. Some of the side missions have the same name but are two different activities. Occasionally, you will drive into an invisible object, your vehicle/character will be thrown into the air for no reason, your vehicle will sink into the map, the vehicle will explode for no reason, side missions don't end (meaning you accomplish what is needed but you can't leave the area and don't get credit for completing it), vehicles will spawn right in front of you and enemies show up out of nowhere. I got 96% of the trophies before quitting. The trophy that made me quit was the vehicle thefts. It used to be steal a car bring it to a shop. Now, it's get a specific car and drive/fly across the map with tanks and helicopters shooting at you. I got 1/3 of the cars before I got tired of going to an area looking for 10 minutes for the vehicle, driving for 5 minutes, get 2 feet from where I am supposed to deliver the vehicle and have it destroyed. You can't take cars from your garage that are of the same model, it has to be the car identified. Real annoying. They still have the nude censor, which is awful considering getting the pasties makes girls look topless. Friendly AI are constantly shooting the thing you are supposed to protect. And the endings are like InFAMOUS 2...as they are completely different and it's impossible to do a direct sequel without righting this one off.
Overall, this title felt like it needed another 6 months in QA. Instead, they rushed it for the holiday season. Too bad.

Is 3 too much?

First, I feel the story was just a little too silly, I mean from both the opening mission until the very end, (keep in mind I didn't get both endings), I felt that this game just couldn't be taken as seriously as the first two, with the exception of Johnny dieing of course. He was quite possibly my favorite character and he went out with a bang.
Going onto the side missions, they remained pretty substandard for the Saints series, with the exception of Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax (S.E.R.C.), which was actually pretty enjoyable for the short amount of time I needed to play it, but it was a good challenge that had just the right amount of difficulty.
Moving on to the villains, it seems as though they were all over the place this game. The way you beat killbane just seemed over the top for me, and the fact that he was the boss of the final mission (if you could even call it that) left a lot to be desired. That being said, I did enjoy the addition of the brutes: they added a much needed level of difficulty and creativity to the game, but on that same coin, the addition of you being able to drive a tank just made the game waaaaay to easy.
Last, I'll just cover briefly on the music. For fans of rap and hip-hop, this game pretty much caters to them, and even the talk shows felt bland and lifeless, leaving me to keep the radio on the classical station just because the peaceful music felt like the perfect clash against everything that was going on around me.
Overall I would give Saints Row the Third a 65 out of 100, a solid game, but between the music and the story, I feel that the second one is definitely better, but it's at least worth checking out if your a Saints fan

It has Co-Op, but I'm not into playing GTA clones split screen. Racing around town in a stolen car while being chased by police and dodging pedestrians is hectic enough.
The Power Up abilities are neat, but some are rather pointless. Since you can pretty much absorb a million bullets before actually dieing. And for some reason, you kill others in-game faster with pistols (then with machine-guns?!)
It's definitely worth renting, but if your looking for something similar to GTA yr prolly gunna have to wait till the developers wake up and realize people like playing with REAL people.

upgrade from GTA

Only knocks would be the slim line of cars, n with all the intricate features from customizing your face to what u wear to upgrading your guns gang abilities cars crib features, YOU COULDNT GAMBLE TO MAKE EXTRA ENDS! A huge huge let down. Nothing more that says curruption than prostitution, drug trafficking, and gambling!
I beat the game and really didnt take interest in buying every property and tat shops to feel like i accomplished the entirety. Again anyone who digs the GTA titles (many of us) a must play. My punk/gothic chick makes Niko look like another target at the end of her .45 Maybe her n Carl Johnson should pair up?
