Saints Row: The Third is Volition's open-world crime sandbox, the entry where the series traded grit for spectacle. Its PC scheme splits cleanly in two — an on-foot layout built around the human-shield and grenade keys, and a driving layout that puts nitrous, cruise control and the radio under the same fingers.
