Saints Row: The Third (also known as Saints Row 3) is an open world action-adventure video game developed by Volition, Inc. and published by THQ. It was released on November 15th in Australia and North America, set to be released on November 18th in Europe for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360[5]. It is the third title in the Saints Row series, after the release of Saints Row 2 in 2008. As in Saints Row 2, the player controls the leader of the Third Street Saints. The game world is the fictional city of Steelport, and the story focuses on the gang war between the Saints and The Syndicate, a rival criminal group
Having defeated all their rivals in Stilwater at the end of Saints Row 2, the Saints have turned their street gang into a media empire after merging with the Ultor Corporation. They have since become icons across the world, with their own energy drink, a large fanbase, and a movie deal in the works. But when they attempt to rob a bank with Josh Birk (an actor who is "researching" his part for the Saints' movie) in tow, their everyday routine takes an unlikely turn when the bank tellers fight back. The Saints attempt to airlift the vault out of the building, but when Birk sets off the alarm, it alerts the Stilwater P.D. and the Saints are incarcerated.
In prison, Johnny Gat dawns on what the Saints have become, but an international crime organization called The Syndicate bribes the police to release the Saints' leader, Gat, and Shaundi. The three are taken to the Syndicate's leader, Phillipe Loren, to try and negotiate a business plan with them aboard Loren's private jet. While in-flight, Loren tells them they will be allowed to live if they turn over two-thirds of their revenue made in Stilwater. The leader of the Saints rejects this offer and a gunfight breaks out, with the Saint's leader and Shaundi escaping from the jet while Johnny Gat tried to hold back their enemies, only to be presumably killed.
In order to get revenge on the Syndicate, the Saints relocate themselves to the city of Steelport, a city that was created as factories flourished with little city planning, but has since suffered from economic failure. The Syndicate has already taken control over Steelport, focusing on its vices to capitalize on their profits. To extend their reach, the Syndicate had divided their control of the city through three gangs: The Morningstar, led by the DeWynter sisters and Loren personally, are typically Europeans with impeccable taste who sell guns and run the prostitution rings. The Mexican wrestler Killbane controls the Luchadores, who deal with gambling and drug smuggling. The Deckers, led by hacktivist Matt Miller, are computer geniuses who handle money laundering and oversee the Syndicate's security. After finishing business with Loren, the Saints see the opportunity to take control of Steelport from these groups, and while the war between the gangs intensifies, government trained Special Tactical Anti-Gang (STAG) units will attempt to halt any violent activity whether it be perpetrated by the Saints or the Syndicate.[7]
Much like previous Saints Row games, several celebrities voice characters in the game. Daniel Dae Kim reprises his role as Johnny Gat, Sasha Grey voices Viola DeWynter, Hulk Hogan voices professional wrestler and Saints ally Angel De LaMuerte[8], and Natalie Lander voices ex-FBI agent and Saints ally Kinzie Kensington. Game designer Tomonobu Itagaki also stars in the game as a playable character[9] and Burt Reynolds stars in the game as himself, in the capacity of mayor of Steelport
