You play a character who is a celebrity because he or she is an evil human being, and the character creation tool allows you to make someone who is either threatening-looking or just ridiculous. Other characters in the game dress up like your crew. The police are as interested in getting autographs during a bank robbery as they are in stopping the violence. The bad guys are in charge, and the big-name gangs are celebrities. The game takes place in a world that's much like the comic book version of Wanted. The result is a game that feels more like a self-devouring snake than anything else, but the gameplay itself is wonderfully fun and irreverent. It's one thing to be a cheap way to cash into the success of another big-name franchise, but Saints Row: The Third went all in with the idea that it was satirizing a video game series that satirizes our violent culture. Grand Theft Auto satirizes our violent culture, and Saints Row 3 began as a way to rip off Grand Theft Auto.
