BF2S Forums [Saints Row: The Third]

THQ's revealed more details on Saints Row: The Third, which was officially announced last night.

According to the publisher's 'sell sheet', the third game will have players, among other things, fighting off a highly-trained military force using just a sex toy. There's some box art here too.

Here's the blurb:

"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 bobble head 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 defend yourself against a highly-trained military force using only a sex toy in the most out- landish gameplay scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire. Strap it on."

Good stuff. THQ has been talking up the Saint's Row sequel for some months, promising a game as visually rich as GTA IV, but one that clearly differentiates itself, and that is 'outrageous' and 'over the top'.

I was one of the few who enjoyed the more serious GTA:IV setting and tone.  I could barely play SR2 for more then an hour, but I could play IV any day for hours.
