Saints Row: The Third (2011 Video Game)
8/10
Saints Row The Third is a very good game. Storywise it's definitely not as well written as SR2 but otherwise I love it.

First: I love this game. I understand the story in Saints Row 2 was a lot better and well written and that the story in this is "simplistic" (Does that sound right?) but is not garbage, it's still entertaining but it depends on what you enjoy. I am one of those people that try to find something to like in a game and story and I used to watch WWE & TNA so the Luchadores gang was a fun idea, mostly because of the wrestling matches in the end which were "awesome", had tons of fun.

And I apologize if I jump from topic to topic, I'm just trying to get all my opinions said before I forget some.

The amount of vehicles in this game is awesome: cars, motorcycles, tanks, helicopters, planes and aircrafts, I had many of the best moments in games with my cousin when we played this game through in co-op, and yes, Saints row series is one of the coolest co-op games I and my cousin know since there are so many cool things to do like the wide amount of side quests from insurance fraud to mayhem, etc.

Main missions, I have to say I don't remember everything since it has been over a years since I've played the third, I just finished the fourth. As I said, the story is not so great as in the second, where it felt like it was well thought of and well written but the story is still entertaining. All the gangs: Luchadores, Deckers, The Syndicate, etc. are different in style as were the Saints Row 2 gangs but I would have liked them to have been more "deep" (you know what I mean?) but I liked them all and I really enjoyed beating that "bitch with a keyboard" up in that simulation which in itself was fun to play. Saints Row 3 had variety, different styles and ideas which were very enjoyable.

I just can't understand why people hate this game so much, sorry but I just can't. But I've learned that people have their own opinions and they cannot be usually changed unless they try to change them by themselves. But if some of you don't have a game to play as co-op at the moment, I suggest you give this game another try 'cause I really loved the co-op when we took it all the way by using tanks and fighter jets to blow the enemies and buildings apart, etc. and just had a good time.

And yes, the game has the dildo as a weapon but no one forces to use it, just forget it exists and play the game with normal weapons, etc.

I must have forgotten many things that I was supposed to say but I hope I got to say at least most of what I wanted.

I feel that just because a game has some crazy stuff like the dildo weapon of other optional things, you shouldn't let them ruin the experience 'cause in this game you can still customize the character to the style you see fit and actually like. I noticed that when I tried to create a totally joke character in Saints Row 2 which didn't in any way feel like me, I almost felt like not playing but when I took the customizations in there both games more seriously, I enjoyed a lot more and was able to focus,

If someone was able to read this through completely and understood and didn't totally disagree, maybe even agreed, I will be pleased: thank you.

Additional note: I'm not accustomed to reviewing so many of the reasons I like a game might not have been included in the comments. I do feel this game deserves at least 7,5/10 if not even 8/10, I'd have to play again to be sure since it has been over a year. I might give Saints Row 2 a 9/10.

Yes: Saints Row 2 is 9/10 and Saints Row 3 is 7,5/10. If Saints Row the Third had had a better story it would have gotten 9/10.
