Great break from GTA

Funnily enough, comparing the graphics always immediately, but in "Saints Row 3" I would not generally say that it is ugly in all areas as "GTA IV".
For example, there are some really sharp textures, and after a rain everything gleams wet.

In my opinion, a lot of love has gone into the characters and their garments. DC when creating their own character one experiences welcome details, so her hair moving when turning the character, or the "Hello Kitty" backpack wabbelt with the rotations with.

When my Sylvester Stallone clone then was done, and the Schillerlocke always moved along I not once had to grin loud.

The massive choices were approached several times and, unlike GTA, I have really tried on every garment. Toll is then that one really looks exactly as in the cutscenes, as well as the game itself. Okay, that gab`s before, but with the sheer mass of different things that you can throw to the body, you have to laugh ... even when my cliché afflicted Sylvester Stallone is involved in any action in which time and again the curl with wabbelt ... Okay, I already had.

Many vehicles are pretty ugly, but if the manufacturer "Wasabi" is, I can not keep a straight face (or a private names "Snipes 57"). And if my Sly, along with 3 Ninjas, makes uncertain the road in a Wasabi, then that's a welcome change from the more serious GTA IV. In a Mi-24 Hind helicopter to Bonnie Tyler`s "Holding Out For A Hero" by the to jet flash, neon-lit Steelport, of course reminiscent of "GTA - Vice City" times. As disciples of the 80, I of course loved the game ...

Well done is that the followers themselves looking after cars and drive if your car does not have enough seats.

In cars that you park in the garage and is upgrading, one has then repeatedly access. The times in which you will be involved one minute after leaving the shelter in a car for fatal traffic accident, and has no chance to get the fast again, are fortunately over.

Not over, and for me the biggest shortcoming, the "Old School" are fighting. Except crouch and jump away can not start a defensive maneuver, the player character. A cover system is missing. Moreover, here again the problem of what many OpenWorld have games available, the spawning enemy hordes. This is sometimes extremely annoying again. Did they defended in one direction and off all attackers, popping behind his back directly back to new henchmen. The game can continue as long until you run out of ammunition.

Since then helps only the escape or a gimmick. A bit bleak.

The story missions are well done, everything in between is always repeating, before seen quite a few times, "Füllmissionen". But well, you know what you're getting yourself in such a game. Whether I prostitute chauffeur through the area, or a dealer, or try any mafia organization to escape ... Since GTA 1 went there probably is not much of a change.

But, the game does not take itself too seriously and I think therein lies a fat bonus. And if the curl of my Sly resonate begins with a body slam, I will personally it entertained.

Beautiful work perfectly for "Although I'm a chav, but wants to reach the top!" Scenario.

Funnily enough, the game reminds me somehow of "Team America": "You there, with the weapon of mass destruction, stop!"
