Saints Row: The Third - The Full Package

I don`t call many games `cool`, it`s not my way of expression, but this game is `cool`. You play a gang boss who is one of several gangs trying to take control of a entire American city. the city itself is very well done with cars, buses, aircraft, pedestrians all going about their daily lives. In fact, you can ignore the missions and just explore doing whatever you want. Not too much whatever you want, though, because the Police will come after you or the gangs or both- And you won`t last long. So you need to start doing some of the side missions or main missions to earn cash and reputation that allow you to get more gang members, weapons and health boosts (armour doesn`t exist in this game). You can get new vehicles which all handle very well. In fact, I set everything to mouse keyboard control which works well even with choppers, but you can use a joypad (though you can`t configure it). The main missions are very fun to downright silly and ludicrous, especially later in the game. trust me, they`re stupid. The game acknowledges this at one point saying, "Don`t ask logical questions!" When about to go on another crazy mission. Once you have opened up most rewards you can pretty much do anything. Take on the army, the police the gangs and cause constant destruction and when tired just walk into one of your dens and everyone forgets you existed. Don`t treat this game realistically, drop your brain out for a while and it will be fun. Graphics are very good, better than I expected and all the DLCs togther makes this a bargain right now if bought at a discount. Not normally my kind of game, but well worth a play, I say.

No, SR2 is not "the highlight of the series." For example, one of the activities (Insurance Fraud) did not even work. You had to hit the road before you could start getting points from the car collisions. SR3 fixed that and much more. For example, they removed the need to grind Respect to unlock story missions. Because nothing says "fun sandbox game" like shackling a player to complete partially unwinnable tasks with zero plot relevance or fun factor. I played through 2 and 3 back-to-back in a short time and it is clear that 3 is a vastly superior product. 2 I was hoping to end sooner and 3 felt like something I was left with deep satisfaction and a desire for more. As SR the Third aka SR3 is all about making the series into something original instead of milking that boring GTA formula to death, it is fair to stop comparing it to GTA... I mean SR2. With 3, Shaundi and Pierce seemed to have switched personalities and the main character completely changed. Now Pierce is easy-going one (though still the comedy object) and Shaundi is a serious wench all about taking rival gangs down. My main character was a slightly fat white woman with shades, ginger moustache and a Dracula accent that made most lines sound pretty hilarious. My favourite character is Zimos the autotuned pimp. The guy talking about his hos in a serious manner with a constant autotune on is some funny stuff. I bet this jokingly-serious tone of the game is what the SA'ers do not like as they expect the usual serious-serious tone. Even the beginning of the game is a joke about heist movies and even the shoot-outs are sidelined with constant talking, the lack of challenge and infinite ammo. Alright, enough with details. The games runs great with my budget 2012 laptop and looks decent even in LQ settings. The graphics are decent. The radio tracks are mediocre, though there are some decent mission-specific tracks. Voice acting is good. All tasks were doable and somewhat fun. DLCs are a bit... minimal.

Thanks for bringing the uncensored English version to Germany, at a great price to boot.

I have this on my PS3 and I really enjoyed, the over the top humor, wacky characters, crazy story, and a one liner or a pop culture reference every five, no four seconds. But truth to be told, the only disappointment of the game is the map. And I don't mean like it is not detailed kind of way, but the city is ... well it feels little bit dull truth to be told, the city in SR2 was way better. Saints Row 4 is probably bet game in the series and Gat out of hell is great thing too. If you like this then these other two are must. Now only thing better would be, if they made SR5...

An unforgettable ride of over the top, zany, action movie fun. Some superb voice acting work by Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, Daniel Dae Kim, and so many others. If you looking for mods, the semi-official site is http://www.saintsrowmods.com
