Visuals & Graphics..
The graphics quality is nice and the style better, but both can be a little jerky at times. All in all steelport will look great as you set it on fire.
Visuals & Graphics Rating: 8/10

Achievement Difficulty..
Achievements aren't very difficult, but a lot of fun can be had achieving them! They range from your standard complete a mission, to a not so standard "Destroy a mouse ATV during Sexy Kitten Yarngasm."
Achievement Difficulty Rating: 7/10

Story Mode / Campaign Difficulty..
Shoot straight and enjoy yourself and you'll have hours of enjoyment without too much stress. At casual you will feel like superman, head shotting hundreds like you were born for it. At normal you get what is expected from a game like Saints row, not too much of challenge as long as you watch your health meter. If you are playing on hard core you are probably going to need to be a little more careful, thinking and THEN running and gunning. Maybe not as much of a challenge for a Veteran of the genre, but enough to keep anyone’s eyes on the screen.
Story Mode / Campaign Difficulty Rating: 7.5/10

Game Depth & Navigation Details..
The storyline of this game is hilarious. One moment you are fighting off rival gang members, and then a movie set in a spaceship or a giant ball of yarn rolling downtown.
If the idea of having GTA and then adding a developer on acid to the mix appeals to you then you will probably want to have a play through of this.
The navigation system of the Saints row games sit well with me, the signs and labels on the map are clear and good to look at, the indicators to your objectives give good routes through the city and are easy to follow, although once or twice I was lead to a dead end and had to backtrack.
Storyline Depth & Navigation Details Rating: 8.5/10

Value For Money..
All in all if you are looking for a game that does not take its self too seriously and has hours of enjoyment in it I would go and pick this up, especially if your mates already have it, saints row the third really shine when you and your buddy are jumping off skyscrapers with nothing but a dildo sword and a rocket launcher trying to escape the cops.
At about 22 hours gameplay I have somewhere close to 87% completion of what steelport has to offer.
Value For Money Rating: 8.5/10

Tried playing the previous saints row and i have got to say i did not enjoy them at all.I found them very slow and boring

I agree with Gemmk,
I borrowed it from a friend because he said he liked it, it just seemed slow and boring.
Yeah, the customization is a nice time waster but other then that its pretty meh.
I was going to buy from points from www.4SaleUSA.com and buy the game online, but im glad I tried it out first.

i like the saints row trilogy better than any other games of that genre would encourage anyone to play them

Personally I don't like this one.

First, the previous is Saints Row 2.
Second, tank rocks.(If you have it)
Third and last, get this game if you haven't.

Well, surely it's a matter of taste, but I think that the game is awesome

This is a game I've been looking at for ages, but all the reviews are putting it as an okay game, and it keeps putting me off.

I absolutely loved the first Saints Row myself, used to play it for hours online and offline and I met alot of cool friends on there aswell.

I didn't enjoy 2 as much as the first one, felt it lacked in alot including the same kind of multiplayer that was on the first one, the multiplayer was fun and interesting and I did expect them to bring it back in the second one only revamp it.

Third one I have tried playing so many times and still haven't got anywhere with it, I do like what they have done but I feel they have tried to do too much and the multiplayer again isn't what I would have expected.

I was reading the other day that Saints Row 4 is in the works.

I have never really cared for Saints Row. I have played the first two and they were not all that great. I have yet to play this one but do not really expect it to be any different than the first two.

This is one boring game. I only played it once or twice but it was like is it ever going to end? I just do not care much for this series.

Not a big fan of this one

I really enjoyed the game while it lasted, but with the amount of playability after you have completed the game really didn't offer much. Sure co-op is fun from time to time but a bigger multiplayer mode would've made the game more enjoyable after completing the story itself. In short, I really got bored of the game after I was done with it because unlike GTA, it didn't offer much after the completion itself.

In my opinion it doesnt sound super fun but I think it mostly has to do with the type of game it is and the simplicity it seems to have.

Anyone who is on the edge whether to buy it or not, just buy it! And do not think about GTA for one second, that is forbidden! Good review

Why should we buy it?? O.O

Well if you read the review you should know :)

But you said for us to buy it so I thought you had an inside opinion. *shrugs* I personally didn't find it my kind of game.

Review said enough and if only by playing it you can experience if you like it or not. This is tricky game, you just should buy it if you have doubts

I don't know about buying it, I would rather try it out first before making a commitment like that

You can always sell the game if you don't like it. Or trade it to something different..

True, idk about the selling because it would get me back less money but I guess trading would be fine if I got a good game for it

I pretty much always get more from games that I sell than what I payed for them. I find really good deals

Well maybe it is different there lol cause they usually rarely pay much for them, but I guess if you went through ebay or something and kept it in good condition you would get a coulf amount of money for it

You never have to pay too much if you know where to look and stay upto date with these sites.
