Saints Row, while definitely a ‘GTA clone’, also stood out in it’s own right. Was Julius involved in the explosion and are you, the player dead? Questions to ask as the game ends on a cliffhanger. The mayor orders for you to be executed, at which point, the yacht explodes as Julius watches on. The mayor invites the player onto his yacht, where you learn that he (mayor) is planning on having all of the 3rd Street Saints arrested and to also have their main territory, Saints Row, burnt to the ground and made way for redevelopment.

The Saints ambush the police chief, kill him and free Julius. Then, Stilwater’s corrupt police chief, Richard Monroe arrests Julius and holds him to ransom, forcing the player to kill the city’s mayor in exchange for Juluis’ life. Once all three gangs are taken care of and the 3rd Street Saints in control of Stilwater, the player is made a chief lieutenant by Julius. Julius also appoints one of his three lieutenants to each of the three gangs to work alongside you. And finally, an underground racing gang called the Westside Rollerz. The Los Carnales are a Hispanic gang who’s main line of business is drugs, they run the narcotics trade. An African American gang, the Vice Kings, who’s main source of income is from strip clubs and record labels. After a few initiation missions, Julius Little tasks you, the player to take out the three rival gangs in Stilwater. Dexter “Dex” Jackson, Johnny Gat, and Lin are Julius’ main lieutenants in the gang.

Finding yourself in the city of Stilwater, you are taken under the wing of local gang, the 3rd Street Saints, who really like the colour purple and is run by Julius Little. You control an unnamed, low level street thug, who never talks. So if you don’t want the story of Saints Row ruined, then stop reading now. I’ll be covering the plots of each game, including the endings. I always do this, but I’m going to pop in a SPOILER warning right now. So with the remaster now out, I thought I’d get back into this retrospective and finish it. Then, Saints Row: The Third Remastered was announced, that I completely missed, until a friend mentioned it to me (thanks Martin). Covered the first two games, but put the article on hold as I waited more info on the fifth game, and then… I just forgot about the whole thing. I originally started to write this one in August of last year when Saints Row V was first announced.

I thought I’d take a look at the entire Saints Row franchise… you ready for this, playa? So with fourteen years and four main games in the franchise… and a spin-off or two. And according to Volition, they’re deep in development on the game too. A new franchise was born that is still going today, with the announcement of the latest game, Saints Row V last year. Then in 2006, American developers Volition threw their hat into the ring with Saints Row. It seemed for a while that no one was capable of making a truly brilliant ‘ GTA clone’, as they were labelled as back then. Some really good titles, some awful ones. Yeah sure, there were other GTA-like games, but those just weren’t GTA.įor a good while after the release of GTA III, there was an ongoing trend of developers trying to out GTA Rockstar North, developers wanting to not just mimic GTA III, but also attempt to better it. It’s melding of open world, anarchic action and tight storytelling was unmatched in 2001. It was, for want of a better word, perfect at the time. But that one game in particular struck a very receptive nerve among gamers. GTA III certainly wasn’t the first open world/crime game, I mean, there were two other main GTA titles before it for starters. When Rockstar North (then DMA Design) developed and released Grand Theft Auto III back in 2001, they literally changed gaming from that point on.
