Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including fl ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

MAIN MENU
CAMPAIGN/LOAD GAME
No longer content with merely being criminal masterminds, the Saints have leveraged their notoriety into celebrity status. They earn millions through lunch boxes, bobble-heads, and reality TV shows emblazoned with the Saints logo. Bad luck sent the Saints into the path of The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns all over the globe. One botched job later and the Saints have been thrust back into the world of sex, violence, and betrayal. They refuse to bow down to The Syndicate and travel to Steelport, a city that makes Sodom look like Topeka. The Saints are out for blood, and they’re going to tear down The Syndicate brick by brick.
CO-OP CAMPAIGN
Play through the full single story campaign with a friend via system link or online. Players can drop in or drop out at will, giving you ultimate control over your campaign.
WHORED MODE
Battle throngs of gang members, zombies, and strippers in Whored Mode. Wave after wave of enemies will come at you, and you simply have to survive long enough to cut them down. Each round comes with its own gimmick, as well. You may be drunk, face giant enemies, or have to battle zombies in order to make it out alive.

IN STEELPORT
THE BASICS
HEALTH
Your health bar wraps around the top half of the weapon HUD. The red bar signifies your current level of health, and recharges over time after being depleted. If your health bar completely disappears, you die and wake up outside of a hospital.
WALKING AND SPRINTING
Use the Left Stick to get around Steelport. Tilt the stick a little to walk or a lot to run. Press and hold
_
to sprint. You can only sprint for a limited period of time before you get tired. The yellow bar around the weapon palette in the lower right corner of the screen is your sprint meter. When that meter completely decreases, you have to stop sprinting until you are no longer tired.
CITY TAKEOVER
Steelport is owned by the Syndicate and you need to take it away from them block by block. This is done by playing Activities, defeating Gang Operations, and by Purchasing stores and properties. Each time to take over more territory you earn Hourly Income that is accrued in your bank account and available on your cell phone in the CASH menu to be laundered directly to you every in-game hour.
WEAPONS
Hold B to bring up the weapon HUD. Use L to cycle through weapons. Use the D-pad to select a grenade to equip.
USING THE MAP
Access the map from the Cell Phone menu. The map displays your current cash, hourly income, and what’s near your current location. Press generate a route for you to follow.
RESPECT
Respect is how you judge just how notorious of a name you’re making for yourself. As you kill your enemies, complete missions or perform other in-game actions, you earn Respect. The more Respect you have, the higher your rank, and the more access you have to upgrades and other in-game features. You don’t have to worry about spending Respect or keeping track of how much you have. As you gain Respect, you automatically gain rank, and in-game pop-ups will inform you when you have access to new abilities or can purchase certain things with money.
FOLLOWERS
When in a hood you own or after summoning backup, hold D-pad 7 to add Saints to your crew. You can have up to three Saints in your crew, and they will back you up in combat and ride with you in vehicles. These reinforcements can keep you alive by distracting or killing the enemy, so ride out with a posse whenever you can.
CUSTOMISATION
Customisation isn’t just about a pretty face or a new pair of shoes. Customisation allows you to make your character unique and your vehicles truly yours. Come up with a colour scheme or gimmick and wear it with pride. In addition to that warm feeling, customisation gives you Respect, too. A portion of the purchase price of the clothes, tattoos, weapons, or other options you buy goes toward Respect. Visit the shops in the game to get a quick Respect boost and upgrade your fashion sense.
ACTIVITIES
Activities are some of the craziest over the top gameplay that the Saints use to take territory from the Syndicate while earning Cash and Respect. You’ll be introduced to them by your contacts or you can search the city and find them all. As you complete Activities new ones will unlock to increase the challenge and reward.

DIVERSIONS
One way to earn Respect is by completing diversions. Diversions encompass a variety of actions, from drifting in a vehicle, killing gang members, getting headshots, or base-jumping. The more you do these diversions, the more Respect you earn, so experiment and have fun.
HIJACKING CARS
Stealing cars is a vital part of the game. Choose your car carefully. Some cars are slow, while others are extremely fast. Others may corner well, but have weak armour. Press You will pull out the owner of the car, if there is one, and hop into the driver’s seat.
AGGRESSIVE HIJACK
In a hurry? Hold _ and press Y to perform an aggressive hijack. Rather than walking around a car and opening the door, you will leap through the nearest window and directly into the driver’s seat. The driver will be forcibly ejected from the car, leaving you free to gun it and speed off.
HOSTAGE DIVERSION
If you manage to hijack a car that has a person in the passenger seat, you’re in luck! You can now partake in a Hostage Diversion. Take off at high speeds and evade the police until the hostage coughs up some cash. If you slow down, the hostage may escape.
