Saints Row: The Third will be the series’ first departure from Stillwater, instead seeing the Saints relocating to Chicago-alike Steelport.
Busted out of prison by the Syndicate, a powerful uber-gang, the Saints soon find themselves up against – well, pretty much everyone who isn’t wearing purple. In true Saints Row fashion, everything is dialled up to a hundred and eleven. Comparisons with GTA are now so redundant they’re actually insulting, as SR has more than established itself as a powerful franchise in its own right.
Mankini’s, mink coats, sequined thongs and oversized afros all make a return as well as even more outlandish curios, and the inclusion of the “Awesome Button” is enough to make any Saints Row fan salivate. An example cited by Volition is that carjacking someone whilst holding down the Awesome Button will see you missile kick the victim clean through the car door. Awesome is the only word for it.
Change of location notwithstanding, a return to the world of the Saints can’t come quick enough.
