Critics thought the setting was insipid and that its humor occasionally fell flat, and others thought the game perfected the Saints Row formula. The game received positive reviews, reviewers noted its general zaniness and praised its customization options.
Saints Row: The Third was built using a proprietary engine known as Core Technology Group and the Havok physics engine. They aimed to improve on the series by giving the game a coherent tone, and found it in films such as Hot Fuzz and the game's signature sex toy bat. There was high staff turnover from the previous Saints Row team, with only one-fifth of the final 100-person staff having worked on a previous title in the series. A Nintendo Switch port was announced by Deep Silver and was released on May 10, 2019. It was released on Novemfor Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. As in the previous games, the player-character leads the Third Street Saints gang in a turf war against three rival gangs using a variety of weapons and vehicles in single-player and cooperative play.
It is the third title in the Saints Row series. Saints Row: The Third is an open world action-adventure video game developed by Volition and published by THQ.
