It still features wacky elements, although it’s not as trippy and out of this world like the fourth game. Saints Row: The Third is the game I’m reviewing right now and it sits between the first two games and the fourth one. The first Saints Row and Saints Row 2 were the more “realistic” games in the franchise while the wackiest one remains to be Saints Row IV. The series started in 2006 and has managed to spawn four games that spanned for several years. While franchises like True Crime and Driver have come and gone, the one series that managed to survive all these years is the Saints Row franchise.
Due to the insane popularity of the GTA series, we saw an influx of clones trying to capitalize on the game’s success. When Grand Theft Auto III came out for the PS2 way back in the year 2001, it changed the way we played open-world video games forever.
