Saints row: The third
My favorite sandbox game. This game is crazy it has a good story line as well as game play after game completion there is other stuff to do such as activity's, assassinations, and car jacking. I have spent 25 hours on this game so far I have only completed the story, capturing enemy territory, and completing all the activity's in the game.
Story
The story of Saints row 3 is very different to the other two previous games in Saints row 3 you start of as the boss instead of starting from the beginning. The story begins by you and your team robbing a bank owned by the syndicate which you don't know about. They are a strong gang that control Steelport which you later play on through the game. I wont carry on with telling you about whats going to happen because I don't want to spoil it for those that want to get the game. It took me about 10 hours to complete the game and I completed it in one sitting with only two breaks the reason for this is because I kept wanting to do the next missions because the game is clearly just awesome and you will never guess what fun things will happen on the next mission.
Aircraft's and vehicles etc
In saints row 3 there is a large variety of vehicles like cars, boats, planes, and helicopters there is also two interesting vehicles in the game which is the VTOL and the hoverbike which is pretty interesting to use in the game the VTOL (Vertical take off and landing) is a jet that can hover and be flown like a plane, if you watched the trailer you can see the VTOL. And also the hoverbike which can also hover and fly like a plane/bike but you can only use the bike in the air so you cant use it for ground. The cars in this game has very different mechanics from the other previous saints row series the mechanics for the vehicles feel pretty useful and fun to use. The aircraft's feels the same as before. Like always in saints row you can customize your vehicle to your liking. You can now increase the armor of your vehicle so it barely takes any damage and makes any dents in the cars. There is also new helicopters once again a VTOL kind of helicopter that can hover and has a Gatling gun on it which proves useful, but then again the VTOL jet in my opinion is better, the other helicopters in the game doesn't feel that much different.
Weapons
The weapons for me is probably the most biggest improvement in the game since there is new special weapons which I will talk about later. The weapons that are in the game can now be upgraded to become better and more useful in combat. Nearly every weapon is up-gradable (Including the RPG). Now about the special weapons! There are new ones which is air strikes, predator drones, and an RC gun. The air strikes are pretty awesome since you can simply aim somewhere shoot and a rocket comes from the air splits into little rockets and spreads out around the area to kill a group of enemies. The predator drones are kind of the same thing but you can use it if your behind a wall taking fire or if there is a bunch of enemies around the corner, you use the predator drone from the birds eye view you can simply shoot it so it just goes to the area you want it to go or you can control the drone itself. And finally the RC gun you can shoot it at any car and you can do whatever you want with it without you being seen doing whatever crime you are doing, but with the RC gun there is a range where you cant
take the car you are controlling far. Oh by the way all the special weapons require ammo.
Activities
The activities in saints row 3 are alike from saints row 2 so its kind of the same activities with some new ones I'm not exactly sure of the name of it but you have to drive around with a tiger next to you and you have to drive fast to reach max courage by reaching high speeds oh also there are vans trying to take you out which will make the tiger hurt you. There is also a new diversion which is jumping off a building or jet, helicopter, and landing on the target. Doing activities will give you respect and unique rewards you also need to do activities to capture territory. There is also a new activity where you have to find the required ho's and bring them back to the required location.
Initiation station
The initiation station in Saints row is just awesome there is a lot of options to pick from to make the character look like how you want it to be. So if you want to make it green go ahead if you want to make it look like a person in real life then I can say its pretty possible for it happening.
Upgrades
A new feature added to saints row is the upgrade in the game you can upgrade stuff via the phone you get which will be required to do certain stuff such as checking missions and collecting your hourly cash from the stores that you own. There is also an upgrading section in the phone which will come into great use since you can upgrade your gang and your own health also to duel-wield weapons you will need to buy the upgrade which is pretty expensive but once again its going to be worth it. From the upgrade section on the phone you cant upgrade your weapons which will need to be done in the friendly fire shops through out Steelport.
Also the executive Danny Bilson says that the team is already making Saints Row 4! And its going to be more wilder than saints row 3 which is hard to imagine if it will be since saints row 3 is clearly incredible.
