Hitman is a diversion where you can locate lists of people with bounties on their heads. It’s not a real bar fight if you can’t grab a stool and bludgeon your assailant to death with it.ģ. Beer bottles, rubbish bags, lamps, microwaves… hell, just have a look at that ambitious list. These are mostly useful in the early game, before you’ve managed to find any decent melees and ammo is pricey, but they’re more appreciated for the flavor of adding to the player’s ability to interact with the world. While we’re on weapons, I have to mention the entire arsenal of props littering Stilwater that can be picked up and wielded in a pinch. It’s certainly not as versatile as the flamethrower from SR2.Ģ. Saints Row the Third‘s iteration of the gun, the Incinerator, is a non-inventory weapon, meaning that you can carry one but it has limited ammunition, slows you down, and restricts you from doing anything else while holding it, not to mention you can only get one by pissing off the rival gangs enough that they send Incinerator-wielding Brutes to take you down. It was one of the tougher weapons to use in the game as fire spread by contact, as your targets had a tendency to run around flailing their arms and spreading the fire throughout the room, but that was its niche and it rewarded careful play. Heck, they even added a fire extinguisher melee that could counter it. Flamethrowers are one of the classic video game weapons, and Saints Row 2 duly included one as an available unlockable weapon for your inventory.

But come on, how hard would it be to not delete:ġ. This time around, I’m going to be a little more nitpicky. Saints Row the Third does a decent job of carrying this over, I’d give it an 80% in all, and most of the big things it missed were detailed in my last article on this topic. The city is vibrant, the tone balances gritty gang violence with tongue-in-cheek game-y action, the characters and story are solid and the gameplay is bursting with variety and unbridled freedom. Saints Row 2 is such a good game! I’ve said it before, most Saints Row fans have said it before, but I honestly have never played a better open-world sandbox game, and I recently got Grand Theft Auto V.
