You'll rank up with increased respect, and kit out your character with new perks and weapons. Your Respect gauge now works like experience points.

* A traditional leveling system has been included this time. Another example if stealing a Morning Star boat full of prostitutes - you can sell the boat back to the gang, or keep it and pimp the girls yourself for profit. For instance, you could blow up an important skyscraper, or take the building over. * Missions can be completed in multiple ways. STAG, a government-sanctioned group designed to destroy other gangs. The Deckers, computer nerds into money laundering and security. * Three new gangs: Morning Star, which model themselves after masked wrestlers. You will be able to upgrade it to control tanks and air transport. * A new RC gun lets you shoot an electronic bug that can control vehicles remotely. These will show up as new enemy types in the game. The Syndicate attempts to clone him, but science goes wrong and creates a bunch of dumb copies. * Another character is Oleg, an eight-foot-tall monster of a man that can toss cars around.

For example, you can fit sniper scopes and under-barrel grenade launchers to the assault rifle. * Johnny Gat and Shaundi, two of your major allies from Saints Row 2, will be returning as accomplices. The gang wants to squeeze a percentage of the Saints' monthly profits, which of course leads to a fight and causes your character to jump out of the jet. This raises the ire of a new gang, the Syndicate, which holds you and your closest allies prisoner on a jet. * Saints Row 3 starts with a bungled heist that sees the majority of the gang jailed.
