We’ve always been fans of open world, sandbox games and with Rockstar pretty much proving that they have that genre sewn-up it’s refreshing to find a company who have the balls to take them on at their very own game…(excuse the pun).

Competing with the likes of Grand Theft Auto is always going to be a mine field, players will be constantly comparing and criticising, but developers Volition Inc managed to create a world with Saints Row that although similar in basic premise differed greatly in game-play and structure with a more anarchic approach to proceedings, going light with realism and heavy with arcade action .

Yep, that's exactly what you think it is.

Now with their latest installment for their franchise, Saints Row The Third, scheduled for release in November it appears that they’ve ratcheted the chaos, the fun, the anarchy, the over-the-top cartoon violence and the profanity to a whole new level as the seven minute long game-play video demonstrates. From specialised fighting moves and outrageous costumes, to sex toy weapons and people cannons, Saints Row The Third may have finally given Rockstar a crushing nut shot.
