Much like the second game Saints Row 3 is renowned for it's over the top nature and high levels of customisation but it is debated a lot whether it holds up to the second game or not. In my opinion the second game will always reign supreme just because of the sheer amount of activities littered throughout the map and the amount of layers to the customisation system but I will admit I am partially biased by nostalgia as it was the first Saints Row I played through fully to 100% completion.

The game is incredibly fun to start with and is a blast in co-op, in fact if you are looking for a co-op game buy this Saints Row as it's the best one for it. The third game is also a lot more stable than the second game which is a buggy mess on PC without mods to fix it as this one does not suffer from the amount of crashing in the previous game and the multiplayer services are still being supported. The highlight of the game is definitely the absurdity of everything from the weapons to the vehicles as the game features cars and assault rifles but also features hover bikes with miniguns on and floppy nobs to hit people with. You can drive around cars with tigers in the back, enter a competition to kill as many mascots as possible and drive tanks around with the sole aim being to destroy as much property as possible.

The ways the game starts to fall down is when you put it against its predecessor. The customisation no longer allows for logos on the clothing, wear options so do you want to have your pants rolled up or rolled down etc. and the amount of tattoos is lacking as well as the options for vehicle customisation. The main story is also not as good in my opinion and the villains are too cartoonish and aren't as present throughout the story. The amount of activities is lacking in my opinion as well as you can do them all ridiculously fast if you are going to 100% the game which I have done in co-op.

All in all I would still recommend the game if you are looking for something that will hold your attention while being fast paced and satisfying. It has fun sidecontent and there is more depth to this game than just shooting people, you can blow people up as well and run them over if you are looking for a more immersive psychopath simulator.
