Buggy and unoptimized but still alot of FUN!
Graphics :
Graphicly the game looks OK, you won't be impressed by it's low qualty view distance or it's textures but the game has a fantastic lighting engine which makes all lights bounce realisticklly off wet surfaces,metal,plastic and so on.
7.5/10
Gameplay :
The gameplay of SR3 is it's strongest point, you're allowed to do almost anything.You'll be able to complete crazzy activaties such as Stealing prostitues from other pimps, riding on a quad--bike while on fire or just blowing up the entire city with a tank. There is almost no limit in this game, you can be whatever you want whenever you want. Wanna be dressed in a gimp suit while using a 1.5m d***o bat to kill someone ? You can do that, wanna be compleatly naked and kill people with a chainsaw ? Yup, you can do that too. Wanna be a magic floating toilet with 2SMGs which fire bullets made out of fire ? Yes, you can also do that! You're also allowed to bring one friend to help you out in the story missions and activaties which of course become 2x more fun when you have a friend by your side.
9/10
Sound and Music :
The sound effects in SR3 are mediocer, they're not speciall nor bad. The Music is pretty good, ranging in a wide number of Rock,DeathMetal,Hip-Hop,Regge and Classic songs. The voice acting is pretty good, the voices sound convincing and real.
8/10
Polish:
The major downside of Saints Row 3 is it's buggs, the game suffers from alot of bugs which can break your game. I found myself restarting entire missions 5 times(or even more) just becuse a script or a code glitched up and retrying from the last checkpoint didn't do anything, this led me to many frustrating moments where i'm about to finish a mission but then it buggs out. The boss never re-teleports back, i get frozzen in place, the enemys i'm suppose to kill never show up and so on. The game also isn't the most optimized game ever made, for some reason SR3 needs more power then GTA 4 and Battlefield 3, games which imo look graphicly (not artisticly) better and run better on my PC then SR3.
5/10
Finall thoughts Even thought the game suffers from a ridiculous amount of bugs i still had a ton of fun playing the game, i consider it to be the second most fun game of 2011 and reccomend you buy it, if you don't then you're missing out on a lot of fun.
8/10
The score would have been an 8.5 or 9.0 if it wasn't for the huge amount of buggs and the not so great optimizing of the PC version
