   Overall Saints Row the Third is more than just the middle finger to game censorship and feminists. For all of its crude and juvenile content, it’s a hell of a lot of fun - albeit shameful fun. Sometimes we tend to take videogames a bit too seriously and, although this game probably goes too far in the other direction, you can’t discredit Volition for letting loose. Read more

   Why so serious? Saints Row: The Third isn't. Read more

   • Absolute madness from start to finish. The story adheres remarkably well to the crazy activities on offer. Extensive customisation of virtually everything in the game.
   • Really needs a graphical overhaul for the next iteration. Some audio repetition between NPCs. More work could be done to make AI a little more realistic.

   After completing your first Genki Apocalypse event, you're invited to take advantage of a Super Ethical PR Opportunity. Here, you must drive the psychopathic professor himself to a public appearance. Professor Genki's ride, the Genki Mobile, is especially effective at mowing down pedestrians, and it sports flamethrowers on the front and sides. These features come in handy, because Genki is a demanding passenger. Read more

   Saints Row: The Third is pure unadulterated fun. Its humour is lewd and crude and often deliberately offensive. The action sequences are some of the most over-the-top sequences that you will ever see in a game and as far as action games go, Saints Row: The Third is one of the best. The game may not be a technical marvel nor does it masterfully tells a compelling story but as a fun action game, it excels. Read more

   • amazing action set pieces, impressive customisation and freedom, focus on fun over everything else, online coop
   • lacklustre ending, odd aircraft controls and motion

   I tried my best to avoid watching any SR3 trailers and I'm glad I did! SR3 is a fantastic compliment to SR2 and delivers on all fronts. Volition has turned their amps to 11, everything is open for punishment. The plot is in full sillyness, from the big bang opening to the mission that follows. How about we stock up on ammo... oh wait, we're out of cash... Let's rob the armory! It's a shame the game has been overshadowed by other releases. Read more

   • - A perfect compliment to SR2., - Everything you'd expect is there, nothing is left to the imagination.
   • - AI could be a little better., - No crib customisation
