There are a nice variety of weapons to use as well, ranging from standard machine guns to high-tech explosives.

The map can be explored on foot or in vehicles, which can be stolen off the street or unlocked through progression. After the opening sequence, missions can be tackled in any order, and the entire story can be played either solo or with a friend online. At the start of the game, players create a custom character, making them as lifelike or as silly as they please. Similar in style to the Grand Theft Auto series, you are free to explore at your own pace, or simply have fun blowing things up. Like previous games in the series, Saints Row: The Third tasks players with completing missions across a populated city map, slowly gaining territory and respect as they go. With tons of interesting characters and some remarkably wacky moments, Saints Row: The Third offers a blockbuster-style story with some significant action. In order to take down the Syndicate and become the most powerful gang around, the Saints must eradicate the three other gangs while also fighting against a government task force sent to clean up the city. At the start of the game, the Saints are unexpectedly arrested during a failed bank heist and turned over to a group of international criminals called the Syndicate.Īfter failing to give in to the Syndicate's demands, the Saints manage to escape and arrive in the city of Steelport, controlled by three unique gangs. You play as a custom-created character who acts as the leader of the Saints, guiding them through a series of spectacular and hilarious missions. Saints Row: The Third picks up five years after Saints Row 2, with the Third Street Saints now existing as a massive media empire.
