i played, and purchased th original saints row, and although it was playable, i felt it alittle too hard, and NOTHING even close to GTA, more like gta:sa but gta was better, i didn't play it much, and pretty much disreguarded any new saints release. needless to say, i pretty much was dead to the series. cut to about 2months ago, i was looking into videos on Yt, AND EVENTUALLY said "what the heck" and bought it for 31 bucks, when i got it, i didn't like it too well, but more sooner and than later it became a GREAT game. its customization is great, from the charactor creation screen, to the many shops, you can be a zombie, or a super hero, or pirate in this game, to being a gangsta, to an alien, to a dominatrix o.o, the posssibilitys are endless, and its system leaves you free to do side missions, and activitys, or just speed through the main campaighn. one thing hated about saints row 1, was the REQUIERMENT of respect, you had to do some rediculasly hard activitys to progress through the game to the point that you stop. but that is all gone in this one, and you can go at your own pace, considering your the boss of this game, you don't need anymore respect to prove yourself. i like that, however respect is now used as a leveling, and reward system that turns the saints series into a rpg, with respect levels, and upgrades like dual weilding, to collectable locators, while you need respect, you also need LOTS and LOTS of cash, (just a warning) the game isn't too hard, but its far from easy, but a very good balence. the graphics, and sound are good, the radio music is (well to me) a great sellection, from classics from the 80's and 90's, to death metal, and hip hop selection, to new age techno and pop, it was in great taste to me. all round, it is a great game, HOWEVER the only con's i can find, is its seemingly short campaighn length, i am about 15hrs into the story, while doing a few activitys here and there. and am like 70% done. even with finishing up all activitys, and collectables, i will only log about 25-30hrs max. so its short, and its activitys once again, are extremely challenging and difficult. so that is what gives it the 4/5 rating. with that said, EVERYTHING else is great, and i feel just the disk alone, would justify a 50, maybe even 60$ price tag, it really is a great game, has made a dead fan be brought back to life, this originally (to me) was a knock off of GTA, now is a well respected compitition to them. but keep in mind, this is no gta, BY NO MEANS, gta 4 is a much better game, and if you haven't played it yet, i emplore you to buy it insted, but really look into this one as well, it is much more over the top, and will quench diffrent peoples thurst's for video games. but in my oppinion, gta is still better, but this is a very good game as well, it has changed my entire veiw on the series, and has made a fan out of me. :)Read full review
Right from the opening, you can tell this game is gonna be insane. The level of customization is great (both for characters and the cars and even your gang). The only disappointment was that some things seemed smaller than Saints Row 2. For instance, the only buildings you can enter are your safehouses and the shops. In SR2, you could enter the airport and a mall and fully explore both. Also, there seems to be less clothing options in SR3 than there were in SR2, despite their being more stores. However, the story is a lot more fun and more coherent this time around. I actually wanted to see how things ended, and felt an attachment to the characters involved. Also, there are more varied activities this time around. These range from protecting a drug dealer to getting in a tank and blowing up EVERYTHING! My favorite activity, however, is Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax. You must make it from one end to the other while killing enemies to earn cash. It sounds simple, but is surprisingly fun. Overall, this is an insanely fun game, as long as you keep in mind that it is not meant to be a serious action game. I like to think of it as the anti-GTA.Read full review
The final game before the series got bad, I enjoyed this game. Very funny gameplay, I love how your choices affect the story, my second favorite in the Saints Row series.

Definitely a game for people who want to goof around GTA style but without the "realistic" aspect. I have beat this game about 7 or so times now due to helping friends get through co-op missions, and it is fun each time. However, unlike the GTA series where it has an online multiplayer, once you beat Saints Row 100% you are done, and there isnt much to do. It gets boring. But, there is enough activities and challenges to keep you going for hours and hours. In my longest used save file, I still havent finished all of the challenges and have yet to get every achievement. This game has seriously dropped in price, being 2 years old as im writing this with another sequel on the way. This game is perfect to play with a friend, so buy two copies and give one to a friend for the whole experience. Note: At times it can get buggy. There have been a few instances where I got stuck inside buildings by doing a 'windshield cannon'. You may also experience endless loading screens, and console freezes. But, this game does have an autosave feature AND a checkpoint system in missions, so you should be all set!Read full review
I was excited to find this game a month after its release (under 40 bucks!) as soon as it arrived I instantly began playing it. It didn't live up to my expectations but it still kept me entertained. I liked the smooth gameplay and how the story line could be both funny, yet serious and you could pick how you wanted to complete some missions, altering the story, though the game could have had more story missions (it ended too fast). Most free roam games become really repetitive for me but this one is fun, weird, and keeps me ROTFLMAO! Especially when on Xbox Live.
