WARNING: EPILEPSY A very small percentage of people may experience epileptic symptoms or an epileptic seizure when exposed to certain visual images that appear in video games, including flashing lights and light patterns. Epileptic seizure or symptoms may be triggered in persons who have no prior history of epilepsy or other types of seizures. If you, or any of your relatives have a history of epilepsy or seizures of any kind, a physician should be consulted before playing. If you experience any of these symptoms, immediately stop playing the video game and consult a physician: lightheadedness, eye or muscle twitching, altered vision, disorientation, confusion, loss of consciousness, or convulsions. Video game play should only be resumed upon physician approval. Children and teenagers have a higher likelihood of experiencing such seizures or symptoms. The following precautions should be taken to reduce the likelihood of epileptic seizures: sit as far away from the screen as possible, play on the smallest television screen available, play in a well-lit area, take a 15 minute break every hour of play, and avoid play when tired.

No longer content with merely being criminal masterminds, the Saints have leveraged their notoriety into celebrity status. They earn millions through lunch boxes, bobble-heads, and reality TV shows emblazoned with the Saints logo. Bad luck sent the Saints into the path of The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns all over the globe. One botched job later and the Saints have been thrust back into the world of sex, violence, and betrayal. They refuse to bow down to The Syndicate and travel to Steelport, a city that makes Sodom and Gomorrah look like Topeka. The Saints are out for blood, and theyre going to tear down The Syndicate brick by brick.

Play through the full single story campaign with a friend via LAN or online. Players can drop in or drop out at will, giving you ultimate control over your campaign.

RESPECT Respect is how you judge just how notorious of a name youre making for yourself. As you kill your enemies, complete missions or perform other in-game actions, you earn Respect. The more Respect you have, the higher your rank, and the more access you have to upgrades and other in-game features. You dont have to worry about spending Respect or keeping track of how much you have. As you gain Respect, you automatically gain rank, and in-game pop-ups will inform you when you have access to new abilities or can purchase certain things with money. FOLLOWERS When in a hood you own or after summoning backup, press Z to add Saints to your crew. You can have up to three Saints in your crew, and they will back you up in combat and ride with you in vehicles. These reinforcements can keep you alive by distracting or killing the enemy, so ride out with a posse whenever you can. CUSTOMIZATION Customization isnt just about a pretty face or a new pair of shoes. Customization allows you to make your character unique and your vehicles truly yours. Come up with a color scheme or gimmick and wear it with pride. In addition to that warm feeling, Customization gives you Respect, too. A portion of the purchase price of the clothes, tattoos, weapons, or other options you buy goes toward Respect. Visit the shops in the game to get a quick Respect boost and upgrade your fashion sense. ACTIVITIES Activities are some of the craziest over the top gameplay that the Saints use to take territory from the Syndicate while earning Cash and Respect. Youll be introduced to them by your contacts or you can search the city and find them all. As you complete Activities new ones will unlock to increase the challenge and reward. DIVERSIONS One way to earn Respect is by completing diversions. Diversions encompass a variety of actions, from drifting in a vehicle, killing gang members, getting headshots, or basejumping. The more you do these diversions, the more Respect you earn, so experiment and have fun. HIJACKING CARS Stealing cars is a vital part of the game. Choose your car carefully. Some cars are slow, while others are extremely fast. Others may corner well, but have weak armor. Press E to hijack a car. You will pull out the owner of the car, if there is one, and hop into the drivers seat. AGGRESSIVE HIJACK In a hurry? Hold s and press E to perform an aggressive hijack. Rather than walking around a car and opening the door, you will leap through the nearest window and directly into the drivers seat. The driver will be forcibly ejected from the car, leaving you free to gun it and speed off. HOSTAGE DIVERSION If you manage to hijack a car that has a person in the passenger seat, youre in luck! You can now partake in a Hostage Diversion. Take off at high speeds and evade the police until the hostage coughs up some cash. If you slow down, the hostage may escape.
