A copy of Saints Row: The Third was provided by THQ for the purposes of this review.

Tons of variety and entertainment in gameplay; Deep customization; Solid presentation and good soundtrack

A.I; is occasionally rough, Enemy models a bit repetitive, Finicky weapon wheel

Saints Row has always lived in the shadow of the Grand TheftRead the full article…

+ Absolute freedom to do whatever you want; + Over-the-top world; scenarios and weapons are incredibly entertaining; + Multiple game modes and online co-op add to replayability

And you know what? Saints Row: The Third is right.

The most anarchic Saints Row yet; Lives up to the full raucous potential of its genre, never letting up until the end

A few missions feel a little too restrictive; Game can get a little stuttery in its heaviest moments

The PC release of Saints Row: The Third is that rarest of things – a decent PC release that doesn't suffer from shonky porting.

Freedom with an overdose of derangement; Plenty of diversions on offer to beef up the main campaign; Melee combat and shootouts feel satisfyingly visceral.

Occasional frame rate issues; AI could be given a reboot

The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to a new city, playing out the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen. Strap it on.

More fun than a barrel of monkeys and battier than Batman

Completely ridiculous gameplay; possibly the funniest game ever made; lots of things to do and places to see; loads of customization; tons of vehicles to drive and great arcade-style handling; large city to play around in; Whored Mode is a goofy distraction; fun co-op mode; fantastic soundtrack

Not much of a storyline; co-operative AI can be downright idiotic; some minor bugs and clipping issues; the game is extremely misogynistic and not for the easily offended

One of the problems with describing things that happen in Saints Row the Third is that everything you write just starts to sound like a demented Mad Lib. The green man in the gimp suit hit the luchador gang member in the crotch with an anime squid cannon.

The sheer madness of it all; The pure unadulterated fun; Inventive weapons and vehicles

A few boring sidemissions; That Steelport isn't more interesting; Going back to normal games

Over the top sandbox fun. You keep GTA until they go back to what made the older games fun. While you play golf. I'll play Super Ethical Reality Climax. While you shoot up meth heads. I'll DDT's luchadors onto the pavement while wearing a a furry costume.

This game is the missing link between Grand Theft Auto and... like... hmmm... Yeah. I don't know // whatever, this game is pretty damn entertaining, I really do have to say. A++.

Saints Row The Third is one of the greatest open world environment games I have ever played. Personally, I don't think any of the GTA games can even touch Saints Row The Third. Even though GTA has so many cars, weapons, and upgrades to choose from, so does Saints Row.
