Similar to the premise of the previous games, the player's goal is to lead the Third Street Saints gang to overtake its rival gangs in the city turf war. A complete edition including the three DLC packs was released a year after the original release, and its planned Enter the Dominatrix expansion became the game's sequel, Saints Row IV. It was a nominee for Best Narrative at the 2012 Game Developers Conference, an IGN Editor's Choice, and a recipient of perfect scores from GamesRadar and G4.
Critics thought the setting was insipid and that its humor occasionally fell flat, and others thought the game perfected the Saints Row formula. Reviewers noted its general zaniness and praised its customization options. The game received generally favorable reviews. As in the previous games, the player-character leads the Third Streets Saints gang in a turf war against three rival gangs using a variety of weapons and vehicles in single-player and co-op play. It is the third title in the Saints Row series.
Saints Row: The Third is a 2011 open world action-adventure game developed by Volition and published by THQ.
