What happens when you sand down Saints Row into something more polished but lacking in identity? You get Saints Row: The Third. The problem with the first two games is that they required too much side content before you could progress the main quest. How does SR3 "fix" that? It removes the requirement entirely. What that results in is a lack of any incentive to do any of the side content and just going from mission to mission to mission. Respect now unlocks upgrades so buying clothes feels bad because there's always a gameplay upgrade you can buy that'll make the game better, you don't interact with the world because you're not going to different shops to see what's being sold where, you're just doing mission after mission after mission and the gameplay is honestly not amazing. Is this game super playable? Sure. Does it offer anything that isn't done better elsewhere? No.

This game was rad when I was 15 and my parents finally let me play M-rated games, but that's the only demographic this game is really for. SR4 at least lets you break things with ridiculous superpowers.

this is what happens when you hit the downgrade button

Had a great time with this back in the day, even if I never found it as great as the second title.

a game cannot be more fun than this


Tenho boas lembranças desse game na infância, mas preciso admitir que é bem genérico e uma cópia barata de GTA.

Funny game to waste time on. (Better with friends)

"saints row taints ho lick my nuts"

- some guy I followed on youtube because they showed off brawl before it was released stateside, 2010 maybe

This was peak edgy and wacky adult swim humor for high school teens.

Yeeaaaaahhhh didn't really like this installment, it felt underwelming in comparison with 2 and 4, so it's like the little odd one out of the franchise.

Hmmmmm interesting, Shrek The Third bad, Saints Row The Third bad hmmmm.......

This game was dumb as hell but funny

So dumb, but I have no reason to ever play GTA because how could Rockstar's awful gameplay be better?

A game that peaked in one of the first few missions, the style was there but the mission structure and open world aren't anything you can't get from a grand theft auto game better.
Unless you reaaaally want to use a dildo bat and laugh at the cockney character you made this game isn't worth playing for more than a few hours.

It's a pretty good game, the first saints row i played, but clearly not the best, it's still good but we can see the start of the licence becoming less serious and more.... stupidly epic? wanting to be ultra fun and over the top, but not nearly as good as the 2nd game, the 4th game follow this principle at the extreme and is just shitty

not as good as sr2 by a decently long shot, but still a lot of fun in spite of having less content

Great game in it's own regard, SENSATIONAL co-op game.

Truely the moment that Saints Row ascended from "GTA Clone" to one of the best, wackiest, most out there and loveable third person sandbox crime games, as funny as it is cringey, as daggy as it is sensational

Inferior mecanicamente y en modo historia a su antecesor

This has some fun moments but overall its the weakest tonally and gameplay.

The protag is what redditors see themselves as


Ugly. Mild fun with a friend.

A great game that sadly runs like shit on console.

A fun diversion to tide you over until GTA V came out. The story isn't funny very immature.
