No need to take this game seriously, especialy after a busy day, it's fun and memorable to me either solo or co op. Part of my childhood still live in the 3rd Street Saints and will always be.
3rd best game in the series. Has an good middle ground between serious and goofy. Though i think the goofyness was turned up a bit to much for this game. It lacks some of the serious aspects that SR2 provided while also being goofy at the same time. Gunplay, Gameplay the whole thing is great i think and all the side stuff are just as good as they were back on SR2. Do recommend just playing this on normal, as it's has the fineline of being "hard" and easy at the same time. At least imo if you are an new player. Hardcore is probably what you should be playing if you want an actual challenge when playing this game cause frankly it's so easy even on hardcore it's kinda funny. Regardless story wise i think there are some good and bad aspects of it. Some aspects don't make sense, Some are odd and others are good and others are left in a void where it felt like the devs forgot about it towards the end of the game. I think the cinematics are lacking, compared to that of SR2 there isn't a lot of "memorable" cinematics in this game. There are some but it feels lacking compared to it's predecessor's. Overall an really good game.
Saints Row: The Third takes everything that made Saints Row 2 fun and turns the chaotic atmosphere up to eleven. I really liked how ridiculous the missions and activities get, and the combat and driving are a noticeable improvement over the previous game. There's also a ridiculous amount of customisation, and I spent a good amount of time just messing around in Steelport rather than doing the main missions. The story is definitely more silly than Saints Row 2, but I think that works for what the game is going for. It's showing its age in places, but I still had a lot of fun with it, especially when the game starts throwing increasingly stupid scenarios at you. Definitely worth playing if you want a dumb, over-the-top open-world game.
