Fun before form

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.
