Saints Row is, without a doubt, completely and utterly crazy.
It brings together the great game-play we know and love along with great new graphics (GTA IV sort of quality).
There were a couple of things I didn't like, however.
In order to progress, you are, again, forced to complete the mini-game missions. Although not as much as last time, you only need to complete one of each this time around. Experience gains you levels rather than the ability to do new missions.
The driving is a little strange, the handling seems to be too good, rather than bad. You can perfectly turn corners with the space bar, which seems a little off.
SR3 has introduced a new ‘Light Side’ ‘Dark Side’ option system, so in a few different moments, you can pick either side and receive a different reward for the one you choose. This is interesting in a way, although it would be good to be able to go back and see what is changed had I picked the other option.
The ability to completely customise yourself returns, bringing some great choices and amazing customisation (As per usual). Introduced is the ability to customise your car, adding strength, speed, nitros and even knee-cappers. (I had a LOT of fun with those!)
Bringing together some hard missions with some not so hard missions, SR3 was a hoot to play, and offers a fair amount of replayability, especially once you include multiplayer.
Why not try and see if you can bring together Steelport, and rule once more!

This game is a lot of fun, recommended to buy as a present for someone that likes causing mayhem.
