SAINTS ROW THE THIRD VIDEO GAME REVIEW OF THE WEEK

1299183921-saintsrow3ps3a

 

 

 

 

 

This game is the third instalment of the Saints Row franchise. I never played the first game as it was only made for the original Xbox console many, many years ago. This was back with the PS1. I never owned an Xbox and it was never remade for other consoles and seemed to be lost in time. I have played Saints Row 2 but I could not do a review on it due to its context.

The Saints Row games are more of a comedy cartoon/animation version of Grand Theft Auto. Except these versions have an actual story to them and are more fun to play.

 

The Story:

Now there is a back story to this but I will explain in this little extract from the game itself.

Conquest.

The story of human history.

Since time immemorial great leaders have risen from humble beginnings to…

Do stuff.

And so it was with the Third Street Saints. Since conquering Still Water the once small-time street gang has evolved into a media empire. A Saints movie is in development.

Johnny Gat and Shaundi are pop-culture icons and Pierce…

Well who cares about Pierce? The Point is the Saints are on the world stage and every criminal organisation wants their crown.

It was only a matter of time before one of them took the fight to the Saints…

 

This game however is not set in Still Water. Instead it is set in Still Port (due to an unexpected run in with a powerful organization called the Syndicate. The Saints (now trapped in this newly discovered city) must build up their gang once again by accumulating weapons, recruiting members and all manor of other tasks so that they can rid the city of the Syndicate forever. But not before many complications get in the way to obstruct both gangs.

 

The Game play:

Much like Saints Row 2 you can buy and upgrade both plain and crazy, out of this world weapons. You can unlock stores in which you can buy guns, customize vehicles, buy clothing and even let you change your appearance in major detail. You also have the choice to change your personality and the way your gang members look like. You can fly planes, drive tanks drive boats and even fly a broomstick (If you have DLC edition which I highly recommend).

You have option adjectives that you can perform such as collection items that boost your money and respect which are essential for completing the game. Also there are option activities to gain the same but each activity has a different set of tasks to complete for example in Tank Mayhem you have to cause as much destruction in a limited time as you can.

 

The Graphics:

Every detail is considered and like I said before this is a cartoon/animation type style game while trying to keep to the reality aspects of the game. Hard to explain but you will see if you play it.

 

The music:

Below is an example of what music is in the game. But there is an extra feature which is inventive but not unheard of in other games that I have played before. Built in the settings of the game there is a special made up list of Radio Stations that you can listen to with real life music such as Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler.

Saints Row the Third Theme

 

All in all this is a brilliant game with so many brilliant aspects which in its own right has become one of my top favourite games. But be aware THIS IS NOT A GAME FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. Trust me.

So I rate this game…….. 9/10
