Among the many bombs this season, Saints Row: The Third opts for total delirium as a fun and customizable content. At least that’s what comes out of trailers in colorful style and explosive. You dress like a pimp and your thirst for power? Let’s Go!
Saints Row: The Third (xbox 360)
Let us set aside at once an amalgam far too common. Saints Row is not a sub-GTA. Whether one is clear, if the Rockstar series expects a deep story and characters (especially with the fourth installment), Saints Row stands on its own wings to one side and more gangsta caricature, even flirting with the absurd from time to time. If this is the definition for you, The Third was designed specifically for you. Indeed, this new episode is the promising title in which we set aside any notion of moral reflection to travel on bystanders and manage any conflict with grenades. Now that you’ve built this, you will be able to read the rest of the test without the jaw dropping in every line.
Since the story is meant to be a result of the first two games, you are at the head of the Saints, a gang whose business is now international. You girls fawn, you slam the dollar as a movie star, in short, nothing can reach you. However, newcomers called The Union will question everything by giving you kindly for you. Under the Belgian Philippe Loren, this group consists of several gangs you capture, recover what you have and empty your accounts. Basically, you’re on the street and must start from scratch in the city of Steelport.
It is important to note that all this you are not told in intro, but during the first two missions that are explosive in your eyes. Indeed, you start with a bank robbery gone wrong, with a Dantesque scene where you are balanced on the central chest, raised yourself by a helicopter. Something to put in long before the famous meeting with Loren in a mission already seen in an extract made by developers. In addition to the passages Grand Guignol but enjoyment as one where you cross the plane in flight, there is also the disappearance of Johnny Gat, one of the favorite characters of fans. This is what closes the start of Saints Row: The Third.
Whether we love gangster mind or not, we must admit that these two missions are mouth watering and get totally want to go further. Indeed, it is rare to see an explosive start as the idea of going into a spin during the whole game which is very seductive. However, Shaundi, Pierce and yourself are now dry and have to redo the hand for the service. You are now left in a cycle of missions most common, which is to attack opposing gang members (the Morning Star, the Luchadores, etc.), protecting allies, or participate in various activities which will be discussed later. Although it is happy to find the open universe of a big city ready to offer all its pleasures, we discover with dismay that the game seriously loses speed after just two hours of play because the missions are strung less inspired and clearly lack the grandiloquence of the introduction, despite a few situations like this incredible chase in which one is pulled by sex slaves.

However, no shortage occupations between missions and you will have to take care of the Saints and yourself. With the money raised, you can improve your weapons and vehicles or change your clothes and physical appearance at will. The choices are many and provide access to an individual look you will not find in any other game of its kind. And yet, we have not discussed the improvements. The higher you go in level of respect (by finishing missions, among others), plus you’ll unlock bonus to buy to boost your physical abilities, the use of arms or the recruitment of gang members, so as not to be stopping himself.
The opportunity to have really the impression of change in the “company”, you and the Saints. Moreover, we note that it is still possible to buy to use the facilities as and when to control of the city and impose its law. Although it costs you money, you will receive a little corn regularly to all premises you own, just to be a winner in the long run. Among the means to make you the dosh, you can also count on missions of murder and car theft which instruct you to go into an area and find your target for a few dollars.
Finally there are also many related activities. In fact, your wanderings in the main quest will unlock additional challenges available by going to the right place. If successful, you earn money, but also the control of the area. If these activities are many, their quality is uneven. For example, that of Professor Genki offers a different (and delusional) by making us participate in a TV show hints of the Running Man. While the ultimate goal is to kill enemies to get to point B, but at least we feel the inspiration of the developers.
On the other hand, it was also commonplace escort missions not exciting for a penny … In short, food and drink as they say. This would not really be damaging if, as stated above, some of the main quest missions did not directly address these activities for long hours, making a whole section of the game shaky. Moreover, since this is talking about the flaws of the game, you will have to deal with its largest black dot: the technique.
We have known since Methuselah, Saints Row is never conspicuous by their elegance. THQ has never claimed to be a technology showcase and every eye seemed to want to shout from the rooftops. To say that Saints Row The Third is no exception to the rule is saying: it is clearly far from blockbusters. The textures and effects are pale even in comparison to securities out there more than two years. Despite its colorful, this delay technique is paramount, especially when we encounter mind-blowing collision bugs, those that make you scream “Oh mashed anyway”.
Saints Row The Third
Of course, seeing the enemy fly for no reason confirms the delirium of the soft side, but when you find yourself stuck because you have crossed the wall should not be, it is immediately less fun. And we do not mention the camera that starts as a spin on many occasions … Incidentally, to stay in the theme, the soundtrack is not without reproach, especially in regard to the noise of the engines laughable. For example, we did not hear in a title as expected, the scope of the “infinite speed box”, one of the best ways to break the impression of speed, in fact.
But despite this fact seems mixed, make no mistake: Saints Row: The Third catches up with its crazy atmosphere that dares everything as soon as it is below the belt. Moreover, it is not impossible for refractory kind, including yours truly was, to hang to style deliberately rude. Yet, despite the lack of fishing for certain missions, zany situations are fly and the possibility of any change in its own way is intoxicating. You can also add the Horde mode, albeit optional, but multiplayer games like the Co-op mode that allows you to make some havoc in the city with friends.
In short, the new Saints Row is not only a good buy for fans of the series, but for those who want to enter a good delusion in a world of gangsta caricature. Just goes to the extreme, it is good from time to time.
