Check out what other critics had to say:<\/p>\n Machinima<\/strong> 9.5\/10<\/p>\n An experience unlike any other. It never takes itself too seriously, it remembers that games should be fun and they should entertain. It’s not that any particular part stands out above the other, rather, on the whole, everything is just downright awesome. The character creator alone warrants multiple playthroughs and the story is literally only half the game. Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n Gaming Age<\/strong> A-<\/p>\n SR3 contains a lot off the wall violence that’ll satiate your need for random video game fun for a number of hours. It’s bookended by great opening and closing moments, and topped off by a competent co-op mode. You’ll devote more time to the game than just the story fueled segments, and SR3 will certainly keep you interested past the end credits scroll. Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n Joystiq<\/strong> 4.5\/5<\/p>\n Saints Row: The Third doesn’t play like recent THQ efforts have — all bark and no bite — but instead feels like a labor of love. It feels like the developers had fun, and they wanted you to feel it too. And I promise, you will. Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n The Escapist<\/strong> 4.5\/5<\/p>\n Steelport is a glorious sandbox with fun around every corner and the well-written story and easy-to-use design make Saints Row 3 a fantastic package. Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n GameSpot<\/strong> 8.5\/10<\/p>\n Fantastic missions, outrageous weapons, and awesome vehicles make the open-world mayhem of Saints Row: The Third an absolute blast. Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n IGN<\/strong> 8.5\/10<\/p>\n Saints Row: The Third gives the people what they want and drops us into an open world adult theme park where we can treat ourselves to delightful acts of bloodshed and perversion. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and only asks that you don’t, either. Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n GameTrailers<\/strong> 7.7\/10<\/p>\n Shining novelties fueled by base guffaws quickly devolve into gimmicks. No one is expecting War and Peace to play out in the streets of Stilwater. What you should reasonably expect, and what Saints Row: The Third fails to deliver, is a clever Mad Magazine parody, something more than a middle school mentality expressed with a high budget. What you get is a sandbox game that’s fun for a spell, but one that you’ll outgrow pretty fast. Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n Eurogamer<\/strong> 7\/10<\/p>\n There are traces of that excess here, but they arrive too late and change the formula too little to really make a meaningful difference. It’s still a cynical slice of dirty fun, but the most damning aspect of Saints Row: The Third is that where the all-important lulz are concerned, there’s precious little here that you couldn’t already do in Saints Row 2.
