''Saints Row'' is a [[Wide Open Sandbox]] series of games by Volition. In the tradition of ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'', you portray a criminal, and proceed to commit countless acts of murder, grand theft auto, reckless driving, vandalism, assault, fraud, theft, possessing restricted firearms, and yes, even [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|jaywalking and public drunkenness]].

* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Inverted. Military vehicles controlled by the player are noticeably more durable than those controlled by NPCs, to the point that the Boss can use one tank to take out three other tanks without much trouble.

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Benjamin King is a little like one in the first one, but Ultor Corp. is this full stop in the second game, especially Dane Vogel.

** Not to mention you can sometimes hear him calling The Mix and requesting Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", calling it his theme song.<ref>This continues even after his demise!</ref>

* [[Coup De Grace Cutscene]]: The defeat of every rival gang boss (in both games) gets one of these.

* [[Denser and Wackier]]: The first game was more or less straight-up; the second game started introducing all sorts of strange, funny elements. The third game goes completely off the rails.

** This is even lampshaded in the mission ''A Remote Chance:''

'''Shaundi:''' You're kind of ridiculous. }}

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Stefan does this in the radio ads for Impressions, the clothing shop where you shop for clothing, and Foreign Power (''FOREIGN POWER!'').

* [[Double Entendre]]: Friendly Fire (weapons), On the Rag (natural clothing store), Peep This (theater), Phuc Mi Phuc Yu (faux Asian food store, which sells Sum Yung Guy and Sum Old Guy), Sloppy Seconds (second-hand clothing), Rim Jobs (car mechanics), Mourning Wood Cemetery, and Freckle Bitch's menu and radio ad. There's also TNA Taxis' (and Big Willy's Cabs') phone response. Not to mention the phone numbers for the aforementioned taxi services, which are 555-455-8008 and 555-819-8415 respectively.

* [[Enemy Chatter]]: Gang members will often talk amongst each other when not in combat.

* [[Equal Opportunity Evil]] : The Saints, especially in the second one.

* [[Escort Mission]]: Drug Trafficking, Escort, Snatch, and Heli Assault (in the second game). Along with a bunch of story missions.
