Purple reign
Once upon a time, Saints Row was tipped as the ‘new’ Grand Theft Auto, with its sprawling urban open-world and a big focus on gang warfare – and while it didn’t take long for us to realise developer Volition didn’t quite have the pedigree of Rockstar, once the series started embracing its over-the-top action and violence, it...

About The Game
Saints Row: The Third - The Full Package gives you control of the Saints at the height of their power, and you live the life to show for it.
Put the wildest chapter of the Saints Row saga in the palms of your hands for the first time on Nintendo Switch. You bring the fight to Steelport, a sordid city of sin. This is your City. These are your rules.
Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobblehead dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute.
Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and fight against a highly-trained military force by your lonesome in the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen.
Saints Row: The Third - The Full Package is the definitive release of one of gaming’s most beloved entries, playable on a Nintendo system for the first time ever with new features for Nintendo Switch.
Key Features:
- City of Sin - Disrupt and dismantle the Syndicate stranglehold on the world of organized crime. Discover the secrets of Steelport, where there is action on every street corner, for better or, more likely, worse.
- Weapons of Crass Destruction – It’s one thing to defeat your enemies. It’s another to humiliate them. Hover jets, human cannonball cars and other ludicrous weapons are all part of the fun.
- Joy-Con Crazy Customisation – Create the most outlandish characters every seen, from washed-up celebrities to naked ninja pirates. Inside every sinner, there is a Saint. Who will you become?
- Portable Over The Top Co-op – Fly solo, or play online with a homie and for the first time – two players can play side to side via online or local multiplayer. Give naked skydiving a try, landing in your partner’s flaming pickup as you make a suicide run toward a heavily armed Syndicate business. Steelport is more fun with a friend.
- The Full Package – Includes all three mission packs and more than 30 DLC items.

good gameplay and interesting characters
The best saints row game imo, wacky but not too much, hard hitting but not too much. It's a good game, solid mechanics, runs well, a beefy story (I clocked about 25-30 hours between playthroughs with a bit of messing around) would recommend. Plus for £35 you're getting the base game, the three DLC packs and loads of cosmetics (weapons, vehicles and clothes) straight out the gate.
One of the better SR games in the series, pleasantly surprised at how good it runs on the switch, although dock mode leaves something to be desired for me, I noticed some pretty bad frame drops when the action gets heavy, runs really well in handheld. You get quite a bit of bang for your buck, as you get the base game, all DLC that was released for it, as well as a ton of cosmetics and vehicles. If you need that Grand Theft Auto itch scratched as a Nintendo owner, it doesn't get much better than this.
