Crackdown 3 vs Saints Row: The Third

Stop crime as a super‑powered Agent in the hyper‑powered sandbox of New Providence, where you can race through streets, transform vehicles and wreak havoc with destructive abilities. Ten years after Crackdown 2, a global power outage draws the Agency back to battle a mysterious terrorist organization, Terra Nova. The game offers a single‑player campaign and a cooperative multiplayer mode that lets you team up with friends to cause massive destruction, all set in a sci‑fi open‑world city that reacts to your actions.

Saints Row: The Third drops players into Steelport, a sprawling city where the Saints gang reigns supreme. With a tongue‑in‑cheek story and endless customization, you can wreak havoc in style.
