As the future Boss, with Neenah, Kevin, and Eli by your side, you’ll form The Saints, and take on Los Panteros, The Idols, and Marshall Defense Technologies as you build your empire across the streets of Santo Ileso and battle for control of the city. Ultimately, Saints Row is the story of a start-up company. It’s just that the business The Saints are in happens to be crime.
