==Gameplay==
The player can kill, threaten, rob, carjack, and otherwise force other gangs out of Saints territory. For example, objectives in the tutorial mission include hijacking a car, killing a policeman, driving to Forgive and Forget to lose the police pursuit, and mugging a Civilian.
There are Fast Food restaurants that restore health, gun stores for weapons, and spray paint shops to decoy the player when pursued by the police. An on-screen Mini Map displays nearby locations, and there is a larger citywide map on the Pause Menu that does not show detailed locations. The city is split into zones, and the game's mission objectives largely consist of driving to locations and shooting things. Mission examples include assassinations, bomb-planting, and robbery.
A knife, called the "pig sticker", is received early in the game, in a level where the player stabs a policeman near a police station. Firearms that feature auto-aim are received later, as well as sequences using a sniper rifle.
Cash is earned by completing missions and robbing Civilians, and us used to buy food, weapons, spray paint, and accessories for the character's Crib.
