More important than the graphics themselves is how theyвЂ™re actually presented to you and thatвЂ™s something that The Third does very well.

In short, the graphics look great with only minor and occasional flaws that never detract from the experience-especially with the rampant chaos that is usually on screen. The textures on characters are actually quite good and although those on vehicles slip-up on occasion, they look great most of the time and youвЂ™re usually driving way too fast to admire the shiny exteriors of the gameвЂ™s plethora of vehicles. The character models for instance look great and while I wouldnвЂ™t say I spend more than a few minutes admiring the posterior of the She-Satan character IвЂ™ve created upon every time I start up the game, letвЂ™s just say that if I did, everything looks great. 'this game finds a perfect middle-ground between a believable, realistic world and a caricaturistic mirror of it.' IвЂ™m finding myself at almost a loss writing about the graphics because despite not being top shelf, theyвЂ™re not bottom shelf eitherвЂ“and more importantly what should look good, does, and in the places where the graphics let slide a bit, it doesnвЂ™t really matter anyway. While the graphics are a step up from itвЂ™s predecessors, Saints Row: The Third is no Battlefield 3вЂ“and it doesnвЂ™t need to be. 'Volition embraces the absurdist and openly playful nature of Saints Row and it succeeds' Presentation and Graphics It creating not only a great experience, but one that is strikingly distinct in itвЂ™s approach to both humor and open-world gameplay.

This iteration in the series seems to say вЂњHey, we are ribald and goofy as hell, and maybe we should just embrace it!вЂќ Volition embraces the absurdist and openly playful nature of Saints Row and it succeeds. I liked the raunchy sense of humor, but felt it tried too hard to be taken seriouslyвЂ“which is hard when your selling points are dildo-based, or feces-spraying weaponsвЂ“ in that weird middle ground I enjoyed what was there but the experience felt stale all too quickly. When I first played Saints Row 2 I was intrigued by its signature mechanics, such as cruise control that made drive-bys and other vehicle-based antics a breeze and the crazy physics that would launch the residents of the city off the hood of my car and flailing absurdly into the air.
