Saints Row: The Third (PlayStation 3)

 

Some games create atmospheric worlds that attempt to draw you in with moving stories about characters seeking a second chance, or cast you as troubled superheroes who push themselves to the limit to fight evil. Saints Row: The Third is not like those...

Saints Row The Third Review

 

In this third instalment, The Saints have established their gang as the predominant and controlling force in Stilwater. They're now a marketable brand and with their own line in clothing and energy drinks, are happy to reap the benefits. Despite...

Saints Row: The Third attempts to surpass its predecessors in the crazy stakes, while providing a true sandbox experience, and somehow it manages to do so while waving massive sex-toys around. It’s an extremely well crafted box of tricks that allows...

You could nitpick on so many things here, but that wouldn't take away from the fact that Saints Row: The Third, with its fantastic visuals and use of music is miles ahead of anything that's come in the franchise before.

My favorite cheat by far though was the add money cheat which opens up a ton of activities in the city earlier than you'd normally be able to, and that's important when you're trying to get a sex change...

Saints Row: The Third

 

Saints Row: The Third is all about the climaxes. Within the first hour of the story, you’re having a shootout on top of a vault as it’s being airlifted from a bank, taking part in a firefight mid-skydive, acquiring what would be end-game weaponry in...

Saints Row: The Third is generally successful at being an open world game and although it’s riddled with glitches, none are game-ending, although a handful are somewhat amusing. There are some great moments and some very dull ones but in all, there’s a...

An open-world crime game steps out of the

There is, alas, an equally wide variety of rare glitchy hiccups, like disappearing vehicles and the occasional mission objectives that lounge teasingly behind unopenable doors. When these dead ends crop up, though, there’s no shortage of other things...

Saints Row: The Third review: Voltion makes it rain purple on PS3, Xbox 360, PC

 

Alex joins the Saints for an explosive and explicit trip to Steelport. See how THQ and Voltion's Saints Row the Third measures up with our review.

Despite playing it fast and loose, Saints Row: The Third is more than equal to the sum of its occasionally rickety parts. It does plenty of things right, but qualifies as a success right out of the box because it understands what people tend do in...

Saints Row: The Third review [Xbox?

 

My character is a gruff-voiced, broad-shouldered badass with anime eyes and hamster cheeks. He wears costumes that would suit a latter-day Elvis, and sports gelled hair that wouldn?t look out of place on the set of Grease. All things considered, he?s a...

Saints Row: The Third is a love letter to gamers who enjoy crazy, over-the-top, and downright absurd action.

Saints Row: The Third

 

Saints Row: The Third does deliver what players are looking for when they purchase the title. It can be said that the developers poured over the game design and completely removed anything that would be considered boring or tedious, and replaced it...

Saints Row: The Third Review

 

Fantastic missions, outrageous weapons, and awesome vehicles make the open-world mayhem of Saints Row: The Third an absolute blast.

Great assortment of vehicles and weapons with which to wreak explosive havoc ; Outrageous story missions and fun activities ; Wonderful variety of customization options ; Constantly doles out cool rewards

Visually unimpressive ; Occasional glitches

One thing you definitely shouldn't ignore is the main story. Within just the first few missions, you plummet out of a plane and into an airborne shoot-out, skydive into a penthouse that belongs to a rival gang, use a UAV drone to call in guided...
