Saints Row (Xbox 360)

Johnny Gat is back ... kind of. This comic book-influenced expansion pack introduces us to a super fan that clones the most famous member of the Third Street Saints. Too bad the short play time and shallow experience keep this from living up to the...

Great sense of humor, usual over the top aesthetic, you get to keep a spacecraft

Short, doesn’t tie in to the greater story

Genkibowl VII is not the Saints Row: The Third add-on you've been waiting for. Instead it's a painfully bad mini-game collection, half of which is recycled from last year's disc-based release. There are some funny lines here and there, but they won't...

Sad Panda Skyblazing is an outrageous new activity ; Adds a huge ball of yarn to your garage

Volition gets many things right in Saints Row: The Third in what is no doubt a fine sequel, but it’s very much a case of sequelitis for the THQ franchise. The zany and over-the-top nature, well-written script and whole host of sandbox toys are held...

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...

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...
