"Sandbox insanity!"

sometimes when you sit down you after a long days work you just want to zone out and not think too hard about what you're playing.

Times like that you need a game that is fun regardless of what state your brain is in, and its a pretty safe bet The Third is going to be that game.

Yes, it looks silly, ridiculous, over the top even. But damn it looks like its going to be a lot of fun.

If you're not sure wether it'll be worth it, pick up a copy of SR2 (its cheap enough now) and give that a go. If you're not into that, thats cool, but I'll be surprised if you don't enjoy it immensely.
Seriously, as long as you go in expecting Jackass and not shakespeare, you'll love it.

5 stars "SR: The Third = Going to be the sh*t!!"

Pre-ordered my copy straight away,this game is going to be brutal.Cannot wait. If its a done up version of SR2 with more customisation, better weapon upgrades, more vehicles etc then its going to be wicked. Well worth getting if your a fan of any of the older SR's or GTA's. ( Besides who doesnt wanna beat a cop to death with a sex toy- )

"Another fantastic game"

Such a fantastic game that has kept hubby entertained for hours. The look on his face when his kids gave it to him for his birthday was priceless. Recommend to others.

3 stars "Not as good as i was hoping"

I was pretty underwhelmed by this game certainly isn't as good as saint row 2, in fact most of the cars and city lay out seems to be copied without any improvement and the missions aren't as good, the crazy fighting and cool weapons go along way to making it fun but still only average at best.

 
 
Review by Braden on 19th January, 2012
4 stars "GTA on crack"

Very very fun, with arcade, over the top style in a completely sandbox world. Awesome. You will also begin to love the way this game subtly rips on pop culture. However I do have to crticise the fact that half the game involves doing compulsory non-story related missions which really slow the game down, especially after the intro.

The good news is that it picks up again and the typical Saints Row OTT style comes back again to blow you away!

5 stars "Awesome!"

Simply put, this is one of the most ridiculously games I have ever player. And yet, I have never had any other kind of fun like this.

 
 
Review by Nigel on 1st December, 2011
5 stars "Stunning game!"

I have always said that Saints Row was GTA minus the seriousness and Saints Row The Third lives up to that analogy.

This is a great game and I would recommend it to anybody who likes the GTA style games

 
 
Review by Brandon on 1st December, 2011
5 stars "Awesome"

Great game ! enjoyed the story line alot
People seem to be comparing this to GTA but imo there two different games this is a crazy over the top sandbox where as GTA is more realism sandbox :P
recommended buy to anyone who enjoys open world sandboxes

5 stars "You will have to drink caffine to keep you up!!!"

Saints row 2 was majorly fun but in saints row: the third it make saints row 2 look like crap. You can play more missions, get insane weapons and can jump into any car, through the window, and drive around steelport painting it red. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT! If you haven't bought this game yet then yu're missing out big time! Click ADD TO TROLLEY now!!!!

"Shardous you are an idiot..."

Saints row 2 was an average game at best, hopefully this one will be better, graphically and playability wise. P.s when was gtaVI released, because i'm damn sure that would destroy any Saints Row game. This is a game for ages 14 and under

4 stars "Saints on Third"

I never played Saint's Row one.. Matter of fact I've never seen it!

“OmG n00b hw hav yh00 nt s33n it!”

I really don't know, maybe I should find it! However I have played Saints Row two. I loved how you could do some crib customization and the game itself definitely was worth the buy.
I have seen some videos for Saints Row The Third. (I mean who hasn't!!) Graphics haven't really changed a lot, which is fine ( I would play this type of game for gameplay not graphics ), gameplay has definitely been taken up a few notches!! Look at my bars :

----------------------------------------- = Saints Row The Third

---------------------------------------- = Saints Row 2

“WTF… N00b… Tht aint a bar they is dashes!”

OMG troll get off my page!!

Anyhow yes they are dashes but I thought I would make my point, Saint's Row the Third definitely sets the bar for future Saints Row games.
If you haven't seen Gameplay already I suggest you do! If you are a fan of Saints Row I hope you have pre-ordered this game already!! If you haven't I pity you.

“Saint's Row The Third better than GTA VI!”

I was a major fan of saints row 2 – can not wait for this one to come out. Great story line and graphics – must have in my opinion.
