Saints Row\u00ae<\/sup>: The Third\u2122<\/em> <\/strong>gives you control of the Saints at the height of their power, and you live the life to show for it. Now Steelport is ripe for the taking, and it\u2019s up to you to make the city your own. Mold the skyline based on your choices, outfit your crew in classy gangster gear or furry costumes, and make life-or-death decisions that will change Steelport, and the Saints, forever. This is now your city. These are now your rules. Strap it on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way to describe Saints Row: The Third other than pure, over-the-top fun,\u201d said Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President, Core Games, THQ. \u201cIn a sea of games that are doing the same thing over again, it\u2019s incredibly refreshing to take Saints Row in a completely new direction, and incredibly satisfying to see the reaction from fans so far. Today, we all embrace the crazy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Media outlets too have embraced the crazy, as Saints Row: The Third releases to incredible critical acclaim, high review scores, and a number of editors\u2019 choice awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
