Welcome to 3rd Street!

Saints is basically a digital world for you to terrorize. You will spend hours running over pedestrians, fighting with cops, robbing stores, stealing cars and wreaking digital havoc.

I know, some of you are thinking….. “Isn’t this game just a GTA  rip off!”   I suppose you are right, damn it, I wasted all this time writing this review. I am so stupid! Why didn’t I just play GTA 5? Dumb Dumb Dumb.  For an amazing article on GTA or something Click Here and don’t even bother reading this review.

The BEST Co-Op game on Xbox 360

Saints Row 2,3 and 4 all offer a great multiplayer, Co Op experience. It doesn’t feel tacked on, in fact the game is more fun in CO-OP. I played through all 3 stories with a Homie and it was LEGIT.  Drop in Drop out game play, Co-Op Story, Co-Op side missions and even hours of free roam. You literally can not run out of things to do in Stillwater.

Customize Everything

All three games in the series have really advanced character customization. You can customize everything from your characters look, tattoos, clothes, swagger, voice, and reactions, you can pimp your vehicle, trick out your crib, gang members, weapons and more. Plus the game is full of stores where you can purchase clothes, jewelry, tattoos, weapons etc, etc, blah blah blah, yackety shmackety.

The Game Play

Think GTA in a cartoon world. Think violence covered in sugar and wrapped in Nerf. A GIANT CAN OF WHOOP ASS MADE FROM EQUAL PARTS COMEDY AND KILLING. Because you can’t spell Slaughter without laughter.

A Quick Summary of the Saints Row Story Line

Saints Row

You start the first game as a nobody. Your character gets recruited to the Saints and quickly moves up the ranks by taking out rival gangs. By the end you and Johnny Gatt are large and in  charge. A happy ending until you get blown up and left for dead. This game had a very serious gritty feel, real gangsta shit. Also it was considerably more difficult than the others.

Saints Row 2

Game 2 starts with you in a coma, in prison. A little recovery and a jail break later you are back on the streets with Gatt but the gang is gone. This game is really about taking the neighborhood back, rebuilding your gang and keepin it real. This one had the best story line of the series.

Saints Row 3

A few years later and you and your Crew have reached celebrity status. You own the town and the Saints brand has become a marketable franchise. Everything is coming up Purple until someone cleans you out and if I remember right frames you for some BS. Same formula though, kill rival gangs and take out the Military who have declared Martial Law over Steel Port.

Saints Row 4

Saints Row 4 is the logical progression of these games. I am sure you could guess what happens next but I will tell you anyway. In Saints 4 you are The President of the United States and you have Super Powers, of course. Which you need in order to fight an alien invasion in a Matrix style digital world after they destroy the earth. Duh. This could only lead to the Saints taking over the universe as time traveling gangsters in space. OBVIOUSLY.
