Saints Row: The Third retains the blend of an action-adventure in an open world,urban warfare format that is traditional in the Saints Row series. The player, as the leader of
the Third Street Saints, can explore the new city of Steelport, performing main
missions that progress the game's story, and side missions. These side missions
include Activities, minigames, Strongholds, rival gang bases that can be taken
over to control a section of Steelport and Flashpoints, on-the-spot gang
warfare. Successful completion of missions can earn the player in-game money,
weapons, cars, and gang respect. The
Third uses respect as experience points which grant levels,
the highest level being 50, which in turn enables the player to spend money on
improving specific attributes of their character, such as melee combat or
firearms skills. The levelling
system allows the player to purchase these attributes, or 'perks', each time
the player character is leveled-up, with the various attributes requiring a
certain level before purchase is possible. Money can also be used to purchase
clothing items, weapons and cars, or may be used to upgrade weapons and cars,
such as adding scopes or extra barrels to a weapon, which are then stored in
the player's arsenal. Finally, money can be used to upgrade the Saints gang,
customizing their appearance, outfits, and headquarters.
The
"Initiation Station" system allows players to upload their character
creations to The Third's
online community, and download other players' creations to use with their save
game. Within The Third, the player can set
up to four different appearances for their gang. Finally, money is also used to
purchase shops and other properties within Steelport, which will provide a
steady stream of hourly income, in game, for the gang over time.
While
completing some missions, the player may be given a choice of options to
finalize the mission. For example, the player has the option of using a
gigantic bomb to demolish one of the enemy skyscrapers in the city; though they
will gain a great deal of respect for the action, it will alter the city's
skyline for the rest of the game and cause non-player characters to react
differently to the player, while leaving the building standing allows it to be
used as a headquarters for the Saints. New
Activities have been introduced alongside many from previous Saints Row games, while others, such as Fight
Club, are absent.
The
player's arsenal is presented as a pop-up compass through which weapons are
equipped with the analog stick.
Novelty weapons are introduced alongside the traditional arsenal of handguns
and automatic weapons. Players will gain the ability to call down airstrikes on encamped enemies, or to use a remote control electric bug to control vehicles
remotely. Unlike the first two
games, there are no health recovery items in favor of improving the grenade
throwing system; in exchange, the player's health will regenerate at a faster
rate as long as they stay out of the line of fire. Nearly all actions in the game can be
sped up by holding down a second controller button, dubbed by Volition as the
"awesome button"; for example, when carjacking, holding down this
button will cause the player character to missile-kick (known in the game as
the Bo-Duke-En, a reference to theThe Dukes of Hazzard) the driver out of the
seat in short order.
In
addition to the single-player mode, the game can be played co-operatively with
another player. As in Saints Row 2, the second player
can participate in all missions and activities, earning credit for their
completion. Certain activities provide different rules when a second player is
present; for example, in the Tiger Escort activity, the second player will have
to control the tiger in the backseat while the first player drives. Because of their focus on the single
player and co-operative experience, Volition has removed the unpopular
competitive multiplayer from the title. Co-op
features require an online pass.
