Great game, pity about the PS3 Control Scheme. The game seems to have been created on the Xbox for the Xbox.

User Rating: 8.5 | Saints Row: The Third PS3

This is a great game, lots to do & highly addictive ... always feel you want to get the next level, the next upgrade, however unlike Rockstar when they launched GTA IV, THQ couldn't be bothered to change the Control Scheme when they ported it across from the Xbox 360. Thus the controls feel very unintuitive for those who play PS3 & not Xbox. Worst still, there is no way to change the controls.

If I could have changed the controls to work the same as the GTA control scheme, I would have been able to rate this much higher.

The levels (up to 50) to unlock abilities rather than tie them all in to 'End Game' means that you can have End Game abilities actually be useful during the actual play through, rather than when you have completed it all. Making the abilities rather pointless in GTA.

Plus, they finally added Achievements in Saints Row: The Third ... FINALLY!

Now for us Achievement Junkies, playing Saints Row has purpose :-)
