Saints Row: The Third is the third part of popular action game series which is an answer for Grand Theft Auto. Game was created by THQ syndicate. Main hero of the game is Johny Gate known from previous part who with Shaundi and a lot of another crazy gangsters try to maintain the Saints gang surface.
On their way is international syndicate headed by Dawn or organized criminal group and specialized in tributes and extortions. What is more to the syndicate joined local gangs: Luchadores and The Deckers. Additionally to the action come STAG which is the group financed by goverment which aim is to destroy another factions.
In Saints Row The Third are a lot of interesting tasks and missions. Players take part in crazy Japanase entertainment, take control over tank or take part in the ride with tiger. We have a lot of weapons, clothes and vehicles.
The arsenal and cars could be improved in the special places.
Saints Row The Third surprised the heck out of me. The GTA comparisons are inevitable, but they are vastly different games. While both hold a mirror up to reality, the reflections are vastly different. As absurd as GTA gets, it still keeps one foot firmly planted in reality. Saints Row has taken a flying leap off the roof of reality, howling the F-bomb while chugging a licensed energy drink all the way down… and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Some teething issues aside, Saints Row: The Third offers up an expertly mixed concoction of hilarity and stupidity that's arrived just in time for the silly season.
This game is magic. Occasionally offensive and funny magic, but magic nonetheless.
Saints Row: The Third gives the people what they want and drops us into an open world adult theme park where we can treat ourselves to delightful acts of bloodshed and perversion. It doesn't take itself too seriously and only asks that you don't, either.
Fantastic missions, outrageous weapons, and awesome vehicles make the open-world mayhem of Saints Row: The Third an absolute blast.
It's mad. In fact, it barely makes any sense at all. But for all its wonky bits, there's an odd charm to Volition's decision to leave nothing on the drawing board. It's not the largest sandbox, but it is packed full of brilliant toys. Saints Row: The Third's commitment to unrestricted, ridiculous fun is unflinching, and the product is a city full of glorious slapstick debauchery.
Volition wrote a more or less coherent story, squeezed 101% out of the "sandbox minigame compilation" concept, improved the physics engine, and finally made a decent PC version, but the end result feels too derivative and forced. The surprisingly short single-player campaign (15 hours if you're not trying to comb an entire map) doesn't help.
