Saints Row is a video game franchise created by Volition, Inc. and published by THQ. Typically, gameplay is presented in third-person in open world format. Because of the mixture of nonlinear gameplay with action, adventure and driving sequences, the series is referred to as being sandbox style.

After completing Red Faction II in late 2002, developer Volition began work on the original Saints Row game in mid 2003. The game was released in 2006 to critical acclaim and commercial success. The sequel, Saints Row 2, was released in 2008 to similar acclaim but greater commercial success. The series' third entry, Saints Row: The Third is due for release on November 15 2011. From Saints Row and Saints Row 2, the series has had unit sales in excess of six million, making it a best-selling video game franchise.

Saints Row was the first installment in the series as a whole, having begun development in mid 2003 as a PlayStation 2 title under the name Bling Bling. The game was first announced at E3 2005 for the Xbox 360. As the first sandbox style video game to be released for the Xbox 360, Saints Row was widely anticipated; its pre-beta demo build set records after being downloaded nearly four hundred thousand times within a week. It had sales in excess of five hundred thousand during its September 2006 release month, and was critically acclaimed. To date, the game has had sales in excess of two million units. A GameCube version was planned but was scrapped due to the release of the Wii.

The game is set in the fictional city Stilwater, located in the state of Michigan. The player character is inducted into the 3rd Street Saints gang after they save his life, and assists the Saints in eliminating three rival gangs that control the city. After the gangs have been eliminated, Police Chief Monroe kidnaps Julius Little and offers the player to exchange Julius' freedom for mayor Marshall Winslow's life. After Winslow is assassinated, Monroe is murdered by the Saints, and Julius is freed. The other Saints member look towards the player character, considering him their new leader. The new mayor Alderman Hughes invites the player character aboard his private yacht, which is subsequently blown up apparently killing all on board. The game was renown for being the first seventh-generation sandbox game, and introduces new features which have since become staples to the genre. It introduces online multiplayer, an in-game mobile phone, GPS navigation, and elaborate character and vehicle customization.
