Truly Unlimited Freedom 0
The Saints Row franchise has always inspired to create an open-world sandbox that truly gives the player unlimited freedom. Saints Row: The Third could be the closest Volition has gotten to reaching this goal. Putting absurdity and mayhem as the selling point, Saints Row: The Third, while not a game without its flaws, should be praised for giving an satisfying experience to the player, filling them with laughs and glee until the end.The story is just what you’d expect if you played any game in t...

My Saint’s Row: The Third Review 0
When the first Saint’s Row came out, it was very clear that Volition was making a complete rip-off of Grand Theft Auto. However as Rockstar has gone to great length to make their GTA games more down to earth and more serious, Volition has gone completely the opposite way with Saint’s Row. No longer is the Saint’s Row franchise just a mirror to GTA, it has become its own thing and with each game it becomes more and more crazy and out of control.Saint’s Row: The Third has become its own identity t...

Some Technical Flaws Don't Hurt This Experience At All 0
The first Saints Row game was seen by many as a blatant rip-off of the Grand Theft Auto series. Volition took the open-world format that was made popular by the PS2 Grand Theft Autos and created a fairly decent clone. Sure, it was heavily inspired by the series but it played well enough to satisfy gamers waiting for the next GTA game. Grand Theft Auto IV and Saints Row 2 came out in the same year and it was at this point that a difference could be seen. While Volition had chosen to carry on with...

A new standard for open-world games (?) 0
Saints Row: The Third is the most fun I've had in an open-world game. That statement has no caveats and is written without a doubt in my heart. Don't get me wrong, I have massive amounts of respect for the love and care that Rockstar puts into every one of their games. I appreciate their attempts to elevate the medium in various ways, and the innovations they have brought to the industry. But Saints Row: The Third isn't trying to do any of that. Volition has sidestepped the biggest problem most ...

Saints Row is Back, Better and Crazier Than Ever 0
Up until now the Saints Row series has been one that’s lived in the shadow of the Grand Theft Auto franchise which it so closely resembles, providing a slightly wackier and well-made, but somewhat derivative experience. Saints Row: The Third changes all that and as the Grand Theft Auto franchise appears to be going down a more serious route, Saints Row has contrasted nicely by bringing a far more insane and far more slick game to the table than ever before.I hope you like a little absurdity in y...

What's the Word? The Third! 0
Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000167 EndHTML:0000004837 StartFragment:0000000457 EndFragment:0000004821Saints Row has been a surprisingly interesting game franchise to follow, even though I haven’t spent significant time playing either of the previous Saints Row games. The first game came out at a time when I wasn’t able to buy Mature games at will, and the second was far from the most enticing game to come out in the last quarter of 2008. A sign of the third game’s quality is that I made a point to...

Over the Top Fun That's Ultimately Forgettable 0
I will admit that I had fun while playing Saints Row The Third, and I guess that's what matters most, right? However I know in the end I'll look back at Saints Row and know that, yes, I had fun, but overall the experience was entirely forgettable. In the grand scheme of things, it will fall to the wayside in my top game rolodex lodged deep within my brain. It's worth a play-through, that's without question, but I think to truly love it you need to love the genre. Modern Sandbox games just aren't...

Flashin' them Purps 0
Though it occupies the same open world, gang story genre as the Grand Theft Auto series, Saints Row: The Third almost shares more in common with an episode of WWE Raw than it does with Rockstar’s seminal franchise. Besides the actual wrestling moves available in combat, it is implausibly gaudy and brutally violent, but a key difference comes across quickly. It presents itself with a swagger, a smirk and a nod if you will; Saints Row knows how stupidly impossible all its missions are, especially ...

Over the Top 0
Saint Row: The Third is at once a breath of fresh air and a return to form for the open world/sandbox genre of games. The craziness of the open world genre fizzled out after the Hot Coffee incident, but it seems to have been rekindled with SR:TT. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, while a departure from the the previous games, was never as outrageous as SR:TT. But, that outrageousness is what makes this game unique and keeps the player coming back to find out what kind of crazy shit has yet to come....

Saint's Row: The Third Review 0
So as Grand Theft Auto continues to get more series with each iteration, Saint's Row continues to try to stay a bit crazy. In this version of the game you'll have to take on Luchadores, have the option of hitting individuals over the head with a dildo bat, and go on a game show where the main objective is to shoot as many mascots as possible. Then again if you were doing anything else, this might not be a Saint's Row game.Graphically for the most part the game looked like all the Saint's Row gam...
