Saints Row: The Third

Things I like about the game:

• Cars and helicopters being destroyed using a gun or a tank. I think its funny when those vehicles destroy.

• Shaundi.

• Giving compliments to the people.

• The Boss.

• Friendly Fire gun store.

• Oleg and the the other big giants. It's especially funny when the giant is on the truck if a major battle continues happening.

The crossroads in the series and a major breakthrough in gaming, this new step of embracing the out there and absurd is a fantastic thing for the industry giving a truly brilliant experience that is absolutely hilarious and as a result one of my all time favourite video games the silliness, the generic conventions on multipliers and the dark humour all create a fantastic experience that's an impressive play

Saints Row The 3rd was the first game I played on my Xbox 360. I played this game again because my Xbox 360 can't properly access the internet properly and it does not have DLCs but thanks to Steam I finally learned how to get it. The game has completely over-the-top action than previous games like Grand Theft Auto 4. The best reason that I need to play is character creation. Before Grand Theft Auto Online you can actually create your character in this open-world game after the first mission of Saints Row. Another best reason is that you have creative ways to kill an enemy. The best part of infighting is attacking enemies with a takedown by a takedown. If you add a max bulletproof upgrade it makes you invincible without getting killed by bullets. The weapons in the game are completely over the top. One of my favorite weapons in the game is the SA-3 Airstrike or also known as the airstrike gun because it is good to send airplane backup instead of calling airstrike with the phone. Even though there are no planes in the airstrike when shooting it in the air. One new enemies additions to the game are specialists and brutes. They are almost like mini bosses but with a faster way to kill for a few minutes or seconds. The story unlike Saints Row and Saints Row 2 is completely out of the box as in unexpected and completely insane like clones, murder game shows, 3d cyber hacking while riding cyber bikes and fighting cyber knights, a special military force named STAG, wrestling, and 3rd Street Saints are now turning into celebrities icons than criminals. Although the biggest issue is driving in the game. Because I can't hear the sounds of the car including the nitro.

In conclusion, if you want your kills to get creative well just like Saints Row 4 this game is also for you.

This game is an absolute blast! If you're looking for over-the-top action, outrageous humor, and a wild open world to explore, this game has it all. The story is downright ridiculous in the best way possible-you take on the Third Street Saints as they go from gangsters to global superstars, and the missions just get crazier from there. The character customization is fantastic. You can create your own outlandish protagonist, whether you want to design a suave hero or a completely bizarre character with wacky costumes. The gameplay is a mix of driving, shooting, and just plain havoc, and there are so many side activities to dive into. From base-jumping to running around in a giant inflatable suit, the game never takes itself too seriously, and that's what makes it so much fun. Graphics may not be the most cutting-edge, but it doesn't matter because the vibrant world and hilarious NPCs keep you entertained. Plus, the co-op mode is a great way to wreak havoc with friends. Just don't expect anything too serious-just strap in and enjoy the mayhem!

At it's core a video game really needs to do one thing, give you a damn fun time. Too much focus has been given to grinding, realism and multiplayer when sometimes what you need is take your brain out crazy entertainment and that is where Saints Row 3 delivers.

Saints Row immediatly got flack for being a GTA clone, that frustrates the life out of me. Why is it a clone? There are few genres/premises in games that haven't been done before, is every racing game a Mario Kart ripoff? Is every first person shooter a Wolfenstein clone? No! People need to lighten up.

Saints Row 3 broke free of any such comparisons, no longer being a standard gang themed open world game and deciding instead to go in a new direction. What direction? Well, a rather weird one.

Mind controlling octopus gun? Giant dildo sword? Streaking side missions? Saints Row got silly and all the better for it. The game is colourful, over the top and seven shades of crazy.

Saints Row 3 has a lengthy enjoyable and wild story and that's not even touching upon the dlc packs which bring even more hilarity. The customization is limitless, the humour is hilarious and the open world is brimming with things to do.

We need more games like this and though it's sequel was enjoyable it paled in comparison and we have no sign of life from the franchise here in 2018.

Saints Row 3 is not art, it isn't an epic, it's not a multiplayer title with infinite playability it's just pure unconditional fun.

The Good:

Customization is limitless

Great story

Highly original stuff

Soundtrack

The Bad:

Nothing springs to mind

Things I Learnt From This Game:

Every game needs streaking side missions

Holding Out For A Hero makes any situation that much more epic

Hulk Hogan hasn't poisoned everything he's touched, just most things
