Let me warn you now, if you want some GTA clone with realistic mechanics, boring story and not so memorable characters then turn around go to your mailbox and take this game back. This game takes realism, crumples it and shoots it out of a man cannon!
Here's my Verdict:
WARNING: NOT FOR KIDS, or people with no sense of humor.
The Good:
Story, sure it isn't a serious story but its very compelling and extremely funny.
Gameplay, you can do ANYTHING, like skydiving into enemy territory and calling an airstrike on gang members while walking around in your birthday suit after getting a gender change.
Music, this is one thing Saints Row has always done right, put in a great mix of music with funny announcers and do it perfectly, but now they added an Adult Swim station, you can listen to Dethklok or Futurama now!
Driving, good news fans, driving is MUCH better now, alot less sliding around on ice, instead theres alot more drifting!
Whored Mode, since competitive multiplayer is absent from this game they added Whored Mode which is Horde mode with a twist, instead of killing the same enemys over and over, you're killing giant prostitutes or mascots or even mexican wrestlers!
Value, you're getting a great long story with an amazing amount of activities that will last you well over 30 hours.
The Meh:
Characters, while most characters are hilarious and well used, others are so annoying like this pimp who speaks in auto tune in EVERY cutscene, ugh very annoying.
Graphics, while it does look way better than Saints Row 2, its not RAGE, but it doesn't have to be, the game is good looking in most areas, some areas not so much, they lack polish and look barren.
Glitches, this game does have them unfortunately, BUT its not game breaking, the most noticable is the traffic pop in, you shouldn't be able to see the traffic instantaneously appear in front of you.
The BAD: Some people will be offended, but remember its SAINTS ROW!
Overall, BUY!
