The funny insane version of gta

User Rating: 8 | Saints Row: The Third PS3
First to start i got sr2 but i didnt played it longer then 30 mins so i cant make a sr2 vs sr3 review so i will compare it with gta 4 cause the gameplay sure is the same.

First of all the pros and cons:

pro = funny story, many laughs, good costomization of cars / outfits, nice shootouts + funny car driving (pretty fast compared with gta)

cons = grafik not uptodate, difficult/ai isnt rly good, not huge amount of non story missions

First of all i didnt get this game to have some fun and the game made me fun. Compared with the "serious" gta the missions are more crazy there more kinda ties to funny movies or the life itself. If you want some nice shootouts and funny missions take def. a look.

You dont need to describe the gameplay much cause its like all gta parts of sr2 (was told of). Make plot missions (47) or non story missions (seperated in 2 categories - Collectables (kill guys, collect cars, get archivments, and collect stuff all over the city) and Submissions for Town control

I made nearly all submissions and all plot missions. a huge plus are the variety and the themes of the plot missions. You have normal gangster missions, crazy missions, sifi missions, zombie mission so the plot missions are different and dont repeat much. There are also nearly as many submissions as plot missions but idk it felt somehow to less. The different submissions are fun to play cause not all the same some are destructive, some protective and some kinda racing. Whats a minus for me is either that the "beside" activities are very less. Beside those submissions you cant do anything in this town. Well you got the opportunity to blitz infront of ppl and to make carsurfing but i had wished for more of those kind. Funny minigames included into the game without being part of the missions (like car races or maybe bowling or such in a funny way. If you had this with the overall crazy funny feeling of the game you could get a more longplaying fun in this game.
Maybe i play too much but getting like 100% of this game will take average pro gamers like 30h +- 5h. So i miss a bit the longplay fun.

The multiplayer is kinda singleplayer only as coop or the horde mode where you can fight against waves of enemys. Fun but also not for a long time. I had wished me a different more coop player orientated missions for coop mode which arent part of the singleplayer game.

overall its for me a fun game which is fun to play through once but then you normally wont play it again due to mission long time activities.

The grafics are a bit outdated but still nice to watch

Its a 8.0 for me cause the time you spent in the game even if not soo long is fun not to repetative but still a lack of long time motivation.

Its sure had get a 9.0 if there were more things to do after ending the game once.

My advise see it try it have fun in it but dont expect a game which you can play for month. Kinda Short fun game. There not so many things made bad just for me a lack of amount inside so its a 8.0 and cause i liked the style of it i think i will play again some of sr2 :) cause the feeling when playing sure is fun sadly the fun dont last so long :)
