Saints Row: The Third

After defeating all rivals in Stilwater, the Saints transformed into a media empire by merging with Ultor Corporation and expanded their street gang's influence. However, when a fellow actor tries to "research" his role for the Saints' movie, the Saints rob a bank and get caught. The Syndicate bribes the police, gets the Saints' leader Gat and Shaundi released, and forces them to negotiate business with Phillipe Loren. When they refuse, a gunfight ensues, resulting in Gat's escape and presumed death.

The Saints relocate to Steelport, a city once known for its factories but now struggling due to economic failure. The Syndicate controls the city through three gangs: The Morningstar, led by DeWynter sisters and Loren, The Luchadores controlled by Mexican wrestler Killbane, and The Deckers led by Matt Miller and his group of computer geniuses. The Saints aim to take control over the city, fighting other gangs and reclaiming their former glory.

New novelty weapons are introduced, alongside traditional armaments. Players can call down airstrikes on enemy camps or control vehicles using a remote electric bug. Unlike previous games, there's no health recovery; instead, health regenerates faster out of combat. Almost every action in the game can be sped up by holding down a special button.

The game features co-op mode, where the second player participates in all missions and activities, receiving credit for completion. Some activities have different rules when played with two players. Co-op requires a single-use online pass, and there's no competitive multiplayer mode.
