While driving, you can shoot your guns and throw out grenades. There’s no learning curve and you’re able to do sick turns and stuff like you’re a pro right from the start.
You remember in Grand Theft Auto IV how driving a vehicle for the very first time felt really weird? In Saints Row, it just feels perfect right off the bat. The first thing that we checked out was the new vehicle handling mechanics. Saints Row: The Third (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC) We’ve seen the game a few times now, but THQ finally let us get some hands-on time to just do a bunch of stupid sh*t all around the city of Steelport. While there are at least a few games that fall under the “stupid fun” category (as I like to refer to it) coming out this year, the one that easily stands above the rest is Saints Row: The Third. Remember Conker’s Bad Fur Day? Armed and Dangerous? They were stupid, but in the “this is so stupid that it’s fun” kind of way.
What I’m mostly agitated by is the state of gaming where not a lot of crazy outrageous games are being produced. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Videogames are way too serious.
