Being able to swim means that crashing into the water doesn’t equate instant death, and a parachute, besides being mission essential a few times, will also save your life quite often. Of course the preferred mode of travel is by vehicle, whether it is a scooter, motorcycle, car, truck, helicopter or plane. On foot, you are able to run, jump, melee, aim, shoot and swim. Those who have played Grand Theft Auto games since they came to the PlayStation 2 will feel right at home with the basic controls for Saints Row the Third. This is a little misleading because, while there is quite a bit of adult content in the game, your character has almost nothing to do with sex or sexuality. An amusing addition to Saints Row the Third’s character creation is a sexy slider that adjusts the bust size of female characters and pants bulge of male characters. The customization is pretty robust allowing you to adjust various sliders to make the male or female character you want. In Saints Row the Third, you take the fight to them in a new city, Steelport.Īfter a short and somewhat puzzling introductory mission that doesn’t turn out well at all, you begin your character creation. The Syndicate has turned its eye on the Saints and sees them as easy prey.
Their celebrity status has however, not gone unnoticed. Saints Row the Third takes place a few years after Saints Row 2 and the Third Street Saints have now evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and even Johnny Gat bobble heads. There is no need to have played the previous iterations of Saints Row and honestly, it’s a bit tough to recommend anyone go back and play them at this point.
Even open world games like Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls have trouble maintaining a compelling and consistent plot. It’s difficult to have a strong and consistent story with so many ways to play the game. Noire, the formula has been: big open sandbox, lots of sex and violence, and a fairly light narrative. Noire have filled in the space since Grand Theft Auto IV came out a couple of years ago. It is impossible not to compare Saints Row to their better known Rockstar counterparts. Though Saints Row is an action game, there are a good amount of RPG elements and if the South Park game can aspire to what Saints Row the Third has accomplished, it should be a smash hit. Starting with a logo change at the beginning of the year and continuing with their wireless sell off, closure of Kaos Studios, announcing the end of the Red Faction series and seeming to disavow movie licenses it comes as somewhat of a surprise they are taking on the South Park RPG with Obsidian Entertainment. Los Angeles based publisher THQ has had a busy year.
