While not every mission in the game is perfect, several story quests from Saints Row: The Third are amazingly fun. These missions are some of the most talked-about from fans of the series and are absolutely more than worth going back to replay the game for.
If you’re excited about the remaster of the game, then you’re sure to recognize some of the iconic missions below. From fun activities to over-the-top story progression, the missions below will remind you just how much you want to replay this game. Every mission is also co-op compatible, so you can take a friend along for the ride.
10 Insurance Fraud
One of the most ridiculous and fun missions in the game is insurance fraud. To win this mini-game, you must run into oncoming traffic and ragdoll your way across the street to rack up insurance money. The harder you get hit by a car, the bigger the cash amount will be.
Seeing the cash amount going up is oddly satisfying to watch and a great way to earn some extra cash outside the story.
9 Tank Mayhem
If you like the idea of running into cars, then you will love Tank Mayhem. Instead of damaging yourself, though, you are going to damage everything around you. This, of course, is done by using a tank to blast through the streets of Steelport and rack up money.
Every destructible object can be used to increase your points, including cars, stoplights, and even gas stations.
8 Party Time
This is one of the most iconic missions in the series. Angered by the Morning Star, the Saints decide to take over their nice penthouse. The mission starts to the tune of Kanye West’s Power and your character jumping out of a helicopter to fight their way inside of the pad.
The whole experience feels good, and beating down the Morning Stars and securing a luxury pad is a huge bonus.
7 Return to Steelport
After you take down the first boss of the Syndicate, you are assaulted by the Luchadores, which leads the Saints to collect allies. This is a multi-part mission that takes you across the city to gather Kinzie, Zimos, and Angel, who are each located in unique locations where they are being held captive.
In the first part of the mission, you are riding on a boat, and in the last, you are fighting inside a gym.
6 Nyte Blayde’s Return
Once STAG becomes a problem for the Saints, they find out that Nyte Blayde is being used as their mascot. To help anger the group, you break into the show’s recording studio, fully in costume to kidnap the actor. You have to literally pick up Josh in the mission and kidnap him.
This is one of the missions that shows just how versatile the game can be.
5 Zombie Attack
If you thought this game couldn’t get any more unrealistic, then this mission will prove you wrong. Zombie Attack throws players onto an island where everyone has been turned into aggressive zombies. You must submerge several containers while fighting off never-ending zombies.
If you are a fan of zombie movies, this mission will let you live out some of your fantasies.
4 Live! With Killbane
This mission is based around Killbane getting an interview with a local TV station, which is a bit strange in the first place. He makes the Saints out to look like villains and provides the studio with fake footage from the destruction of the bridge.
This leads you to run around the city to do what you do best and blow up the towers outputting the signal.
3 The Belgian Problem
This is the mission where you decide to get revenge for Johnny. You go to the Syndicate tower where you set up a bomb and fight your way through tons of gang members in order to reach Loren. It’s there you find the clones and free Oleg from imprisonment.
At the very end of the mission, you even fall down on a chandelier that ends up crushing Loren.
2 Murderbrawl XXXI
Mission challenges are fun as it is, but this one is a bit special. This is the Murderbrawl where you are going to climb in the ring and actually fight Killbane. You are thrown weapons and can even ride Killbane to help take him down. You can also unmask Killbane at the end for a sweeter victory.
This is an interesting boss battle and it shows just how absurdly creative the game can be.
1 http://deckers.die
This is a pretty random mission where you actually go into cyberspace to have a showdown with Decker. In this mission, you will play through a text mission and even become a dragon to take down the Deckers. This is another insane boss fight that makes little to no sense.
It is the only way you will actually fight Matt Decker, as he isn’t very strong in person.
