Come for the Xbox 360 era nostalgia, leave when you realize its a buggy mess.
Sadly... I cannot recommend a broken game to anyone.
Oh... SAVE OFTEN.

You need to use the juiced patch, or the PC port is unplayable.

I enjoyed my time replaying this game for the first time in years.

Has the early 2000s edge.
It's the last "believable" gang-based Saints Row game, before it got too stupid and over the top.

The main story and cutscenes are mostly realistic and directed well; the only over-the-top things in the game are the side activities.

Credits rolled after 12h30m with 66% game completion

7/10

Having played them all this is my favorite storyline (game) of the Saint series. The story consistently felt like it was building up to something with good stakes and a fantastic conclusion. Consistently enjoyable even in side mission, every one of them being a hilarious riot,
"Wanna spray s**t out of a sewage truck on all the s**t spewing fat cats in wall street? Cops of your back about it? Share the love to song!".
"How about making some money by jumping into traffic in hopes you can be the caus... err, victim of a 10 car pileup?"
The Commentary during is just SO d**n funny.

Only negative is the engine the game is running on, it won't be pretty and it'll control like ♥♥♥♥ at times but if you can get past those points... Highly recommend this as one of my all time favorite sandboxes to explore. It is still fun nearly 2 decades later.
