Saints Row the Third - The Full Package - Playstation 3

Let's just get this out there right now: Saints Row the Third is an amazing game. The amount of insane, over the top, awesome, and sometimes downright brutal things that you can do is quite staggering. Streak through the city streets while invincible (provided the proper ability is picked of course), the police firing rockets harmlessly at you? Yup, can do it. Play as a TOILET in a virtual world? Yeah that's there too. Fall thousands of feet in the air and land safely (again, relates to some abilities) on the ground? How about firing a megaman cannon at a bunch of mascots? Using a mind-control octopus on luchadores? All of that and MUCH more can be done in the game.Also; if memory serves right, this is the first Saints to offer choices in a way. During certain missions, you'll be able to pick what you want to do, and get a reward accordingly. A DLC not included in the "full" package (there are two) offers BOTH rewards for all choices in the game which sort of ruins the idea yes, BUT should one not download it, then the the aspect of there being a choice (as opposed to being handed two rewards) is still there.As always, character and vehicle customization is rather diverse. You can go from buff blue Amazoness one minute to a small, meek orange man the next, and everything in between. The customization is rich enough that the online community at the saints row website has characters of all sorts, a fair number of which are based off of popular shows or movies. All that being said, the crib customization seems a bit lacking this time around. You can do some auto-upgrades that just make the buildings taller and dole out more respect or cash, whereas (again, provided my memory is correct) in SR 2 you could customize it a fair amount.Graphics are pretty good, not necessarily "omg amazing HD tastic" but not bad either. They're like high-middle tier. Sound is great, you can hear pretty much anything and everyone in game including civilians near to you or your car. Music's a bit lacking in choice this time around, and there's no option this time around to go and buy more.In relation to the previous note (the drawback about the music), there's another drawback this time around. There's no way to replay story missions. Yes, for the clones and gangsta's ones you can (though I believe you have to redo the entire DLC story, instead of picking or choosing levels), but the main storyline you can only redo the last mission. Which is a bit of an annoyance as there are two achievements/trophies relating to Act 1, which requires you to play it twice in order to get.All in all though it's a great game. I'll go so far as to say it's better than GTA even, and this is coming from a person who loved GTA4. So if you liked that, or Saints Row 2, or just like having goofy awesome fun, then you'll like this game. Just know you might wind up leaving the radio off :POh and P.S trailblazing seems like the only activity who's hard mode wasn't slightly made easier, so it's still annoying as hell

First, I'm a longtime GTA lover and refused to try Saints Row. It looked too goofy. I decided to buy this Full Package version since it was on sale for cheap. The beginning had me giggling like a schoolgirl. I did one of these, "Oh, this is scripted, I have unlimited ammo. Oh, I can grab people, holy (you know), I just threw that guy across the screen!" That's just downright goofy. But oh it's fun. I laughed all the way through this game. It's like taking GTA, taking all the realism out and that's Saints Row.I don't know why Amazon stopped having the "fun" rating, since I would give this game a 5 on fun, but only a 4 overall. The 4 overall is based on the game becoming too repetitive. It's still fun, but there just doesn't seem to be quite enough variety to be a 5 star overall. I will say it may have helped if I had played parts 1 and 2, if you have and think it would have helped, you can add a star to my score.I miss GTA's realism. Saints Row has a few minor problems. The cars are not different enough, in handling, in speed. The hilarious things you do early in the game become old after awhile, like taunting, I just got tired of doing it after 200 times. It was hilarious the first 200 though. I found the missions, especially through the first 1/3 of the game to be fairly common, nothing unique, but after that, the game did become more challenging, still not really unique though.I probably should have held off on playing this game since I had just finished Sleeping Dogs and GTA V, so maybe that's why it didn't feel unique? Keeping in mind, I know it came out way before GTA V and I think before Sleeping Dogs as well.The good news is, I would rate it a 5 on fun. I have Saints Row 4, but am waiting awhile before starting it since I think I was having open-world, sandbox overload. If you're on the fence about the series and haven't played this, I would recommend it. Especially when on the low price. It's a really fun game with a good, albeit dark, sense of humor.Oh, almost forgot, this game isn't for the kids. When I say kids, I don't mean those under 18. I let our son play it, he's 10, but if language or cartoon violence is a concern for you and your kids, this game wouldn't be recommended.

arrived early, was complete and was as described. Igor went the extra mile to ensure the manual was with the game
