Synopsis

Synopsis
They stirred up the streets of Stilwater and became the new kings of the town. Now, the city of Steelport is about to get rusted when the Saints take the fight to the Syndicates' turf for the biggest, most outlandish chapter in this epic gang war to date. Rejoin the ranks of the most unholy Saints around as you return to the Row to experience gang life, post-fame. Kids are kicking around in Saints sneakers, tough-guy hopefuls are slurping Saints energy drinks and storeowners are proudly displaying Johnny Gat bobble heads on their top shelves. Celebrity status has hit — but will the Saints survive their newfound glory unscathed?

In Saints Row: The Third, fame and fortune come at a bittersweet price for the kings of Stilwater. Faced with serious demands from the legendary criminal fraternity, the Syndicate, the Saints must hit the streets of Steelport to trample their new rivals — and defend their status. Get ready for intense action, grueling gang violence and outlandish situations to spare as you take on a decaying city of sin in an all-new battle with the Saints. Buckle up and take a massive tank on a wild ride — through the sky. Duke it out against trained military forces and call in a strategic airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang. With grit and guts galore, you and your gang will never kneel to an enemy. After all, just because you're a Saint doesn't mean you have to behave.

Features

  • Return to the streets of Stilwater and discover how fame and fortune as the kings of the town has affected the Saints — for the better and for the worse
  • Take the fight to Steelport, a struggling city of sin where you must battle it out with the dangerous Syndicate gang
  • Get some serious air while driving a massive tank — right through the sky
  • Take on a Mexican wrestling gang in a satellite-targeted airstrike
  • Defend yourself against a highly trained military force in an incredibly outlandish scenario

Most 'Addicting' games ever
5
Posted by: from New Jersey on 04/27/2012Theres to much to say, its amazaing and completely addicting. It leaped over GTA and the old saints row. Every single kind of player will love this game... Only issue I had was the sounds the vehicles make, it can get annoying when the sounds relay.

Absolutely brilliant
5
Posted by: from New York ' Ny on 03/29/2012This game is amazing, it may not have the best graphics, but it makes up for it in hilarious gameplay and cutscenes. The game is so outrageous. The game starts out as you dressed up in bobble head suits in a bank! next mission your skydiving out of a plain shooting gang members and dodging cars and falling obstacles. outside of the missions there's also lots to be done, there's activities that will make you money and help you gain control over the city steelport and steal it back from the rival gang the syndicate. different from the previous game there choices, there not going to change the game almost at all but they let you gain extra things like blowing up a building gains you extra respect and keeping that building earns you extra cash. There's so much to do and so much to explore and this game will keep you enticed all the way, so much you just want to keep playing. For me, not only the best game i've played in 2012, but one of the best games i've played in years!

Over the top fun!
5
Posted by: from Bend, OR on 03/22/2012If there is one word to describe this game it would be FUN! Is it cheesy? Yes. Is it violent? Yes indeed. Am I an over concerned citizen who feels that violent video games are the downfall of our society? Heck no, quite the opposite actually. Would I let a seven year old play this game? Maybe when they're another decade older. This game was a great escape from the mundane tasks of the real world. I bought this game because I was in an emotional funk, and I can safely say that playing helped to pull me out of my rut. I mean really, who doesn't have their spirits lifted by some campy dialogue, large chested women (even in digital form) and a shooting rival gangsters in the head? Ok, maybe that's just me. If you want to have some good fun, pick this one up. You won't be sorry. P.S. Cameo by Burt Reynolds. BUY THIS GAME!

Great game, too short.
4
Posted by: from Portland, OR on 03/07/2012Overall, I loved it. I finished it in about 4 days and I'm a casual gamer. I finished most of the missions on the first try. It's a "choose your adventure" type game, so I'm playing it again on Hard and choosing a different adventure. Unfortunately, it's kind of the same storyline :-( No online multiplayer. That would have kicked butt if they tried.

Better than Grand Theft Auto IV!
5
Posted by: from Nashville on 01/25/2012Full character customization - can make your character look like any real-life person. Customizable cars. Change colors, rims, etc. Controls are simple enough to pick up and start playing immediately. Good graphics. Great music. Some are classics, some are newer. Crazy activities. Powerful weapons let you wreak havoc in the city. Online co-op lets you play with a friend. Hilarious game.

Hilarious and engaging
4
Posted by: from San Rafael ,CA on 01/12/2012This is a great game for GTA fans. However it's far more mature (or immature!?) and really meant for adults. It's got really funny overtones and customization features. If anything I wish there was a better multiplayer mode.

Too short
4
Posted by: from MI on 01/10/2012Great game but too short! Good characters, interesting storyline, but again way too short....took me about two and a half weeks to finish it, and i didn't play it frequently, maybe a few hours every other day...probably way too short for a serious gamer!

Teenager wanted game
3
Posted by: from Beaumont, TX on 01/07/2012Game is ok, teenager really likes it but wouldn't recommend with little kids in the house. Wish Best Buy would get this 5 preorder game problem fixed because it has been a major issue. If you are going to offer a incentive, follow through with it. Next game purchase may not be with Best Buy.

Fun Gameplay
4
Posted by: from ME on 01/06/2012To make it simple the game is fun to play though after awhile it does get old. That is why you should play co-op it adds more fun to the game. On another note don't expect a deep game with a great story it all about f!#$ing stuff up like a boss

Short story campaign with average multiplayer coOP
4
Posted by: from Manteca on 01/01/2012This game blends an average sand box city with crazy vehicles to play with. I didnt find alot of awesome stump jumps, and the city lack major hills or any building that allow you to crash and drive through them. Overal the city felt uncreative, bland and lacked personality. the gameplay is great. Shooting weapons feels arcade like, drivng feels solid and the customization for each vehicle is huge. side missions were repetitive if you have played the previous 2 games. The story was ok. It never took itself seriously, and led me to want to play more. the story was only 14 hours long. charachters were verry unique and funny. i was neverbored with each mission, although the swarms of enemies felt repetitive - it was chaotic fun to blast and kill my to the end. the sound in this game is amazing, battles have sound tracks and epic music - making battles feel dramatic and cinematic. cars and people were clean sounding and i felt like i was living in the world. Sadly the game lacks multiplayer mode, and co op mode was ok. not great but ok. Its fun to play the story over again with a friend, but thats about it... free play is fun- but it lacks anything new. overall this game gets 4, because of its short gameplay, lack of multiplayer, and its uniteresting city craziness.

SR3 Is The Best Yet!
5
Posted by: from Richmond, Michigan on 12/13/2011This is the best of the series so far by a long shot. The only thing I think is a bit to much is the language. I know its rated M but the languge is by far the worst language Ive heard of any game. I don't mind but my son is begging me for this game and thats the only thing that would stop me from buying it for him. I own it and I think its the best game thats been out for a long time. You can do anything that comes to mind. The graphics are excellent along with the music. It has a great storyline and its very challenging. I don't want to give everything away so I'll just say buy it and you will be so happy you did. I thought about it for weeks before I bought it and I'm so glad I did. This game will blow you away! Thanks!!!

Great for someone looking for an entertaining game
4
Posted by: from North America on 11/10/2011if this game is like the first two, there will be a good storyline with funny things to do around the city after story mode. I hope the multiplayer online is improved. do NOT buy this game if you are looking for a game like COD or battlefield, this game is not serious and just pure fun
