Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed.
What is it with Saints Row: The Third that has kept me playing it over and over again? Skill. The developers knew what they were doing. Mixing the extreme with good writing, good pacing and giving the player what he/she wants is what this game is all about.
Never has jumping in a VTOL jet been so fun because other games with VTOL jets simply do not have enough content for you to blow up. Sure one might say it's just a GTA parody, and in many ways it is, but think of all the things GTA didn't offer you that this game does.
I like Rockstar but sometimes their approach is simply not... fun enough.
If you like jumping out of aircraft, blowing up cars, mascots, people, yourself, other aircraft, gang-bangers and thyself, then this is the game for you!
This game is going up there with all my favorite games, high up on the list. One can only hope Saints Row IV will be as fun.
I give this game a 8.5/10.
