The Good: Everything that made the first two Saints Row titles appealing has been polished here to perfection. Activities and strongholds have been incorporated into the game's main storyline, and even the concept of taking down rival gangs has itself been streamlined. The Third's voice acting is excellent, and its script proves laugh-out-loud funny again and again. Controls are responsive, characters are memorable, and environments are all well-crafted. Sound design is terrific, menus are stylish, and the many unlockable rewards on offer are invariably awesome. I can't recommend this title highly enough!

The Bad: Reviving computer-controlled allies who insist on running repeatedly into firefights only to be gunned down quickly becomes annoying. Additionally, even though The Third improves upon its predecessors in every respect, the sheer amount of gameplay that it borrows from them causes certain aspects of the experience to feel slightly "been-here-done-this".

The Stand-out Moment: Jumping out of a helicopter to engage in a penthouse shootout as Kanye West's "Power" begins to play!

The Verdict: 9.5 (out of 10)

Why not make a review instead of a thread..?

I think it's great the only thing is a felt the story and characters was really downplayed from saint row 2. I also felt the mission were just copies of the activities you did in saints row 2. But as fair as pure game play was really fun. So i would give it more of a solid 8.5.
