The best ‘The Third’ since Shrek
Take it to the streets in today’s contest for a Switch copy of Saints Row the Third: The Full Package.
I do a lot of giveaways for indie games, because I really like helping to spread the word for smaller games in the face of well-known games. I typically take those a little more seriously, because they really do need all the good PR they can get. Stuff like this, though, I can kind of cut loose because honestly, who doesn’t know what Saints Row is?
I’ve got a bunch of copies of Saints Row the Third: The Full Package to give away, and trust me when I say I won’t be taking this task very seriously.
So, in case you don’t know what Saints Row is, it was pretty much made in response to the ever-growing problem of GTA becoming too serious. In GTA you had to take on crime syndicates using mostly violence in well-written, cinematic epics. In Saints Row you could commit insurance fraud by getting hit by cars and depreciate property values by spraying homes in shit.
The game doesn’t take itself very seriously, so I’m not going to, either.
So, now the game has come to the family-friendly Nintendo Switch platform because remember when Nintendo said they’d never, ever allow Night Trap on their console? My how the times have changed. This new release of the game includes:
- City of Sin – Disrupt and dismantle the Syndicate stranglehold on weapons, cybercrime, and sex trades. 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 sex-toy warfare are all part of the fun.
- Joy-Con Crazy Customisation – Create the most outlandish characters ever 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 brothel. Steelport is more fun with a friend.
- The Full Package – Includes all three mission packs and more than 30 DLC items. All previously released content is included on the game card.*
* Two DLC packs – the Bloodsucker Pack and the Unlockable Pack, have been omitted for game balance and improvement based on feedback.
