The "game plus all the DLC" combo pack for The Third was dirt cheap on Steam when I decided to check the other day, so I grabbed it, but between one thing and another I didn't have a chance to fire it up until tonight. I played through to the point where it dropped me into free-roam, and, uh, yeah. The phrase "that escalated quickly" came to mind not once but several times during the tutorial rail. :)

"Crazy-go-nuts" is the right term for it, too. It's like a Grand Theft Auto game that was written by Strong Bad.

This is pretty much the only GTA-type game I've played and I've enjoyed it, though I stopped playing because I got distracted by shiny things (and the desire to record cutscenes before I clear out my older saves).

Saints Row 2 is on Steam as well but honestly, the port is somewhat lacking. The control configs are limited compared to 3 and 4 which leads to...awkwardness. It's also considerably less silly/awesome.

If you want to know what happens, rather than playing it, I suggest watching a commentary free Long Play. I just did a quick look for one but couldnt find one I'd feel confident with linking.
