Saints Row 3 getting pre-launch character creator
Saints Row: The Third will let you try out character creation with the "Initiation Station," to launch on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 sometime before the third game in the series.
Saints Row 3 -- excuse me, Saints Row: The Third -- will let you toy with its character creator before the game hits this holiday season. Publisher THQ and developer Volition announced the Saints Row Initiation Station, to be released on the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
With the Initiation Station, you can create your best fashion disaster and share it with friends. Plus, you can download other peoples' characters and tweak them, or collaborate on a co-op set. THQ was about as vague as vague can be on a release window for the Initiation Station, so just expect it sometime before Saints Row hits.
If you pre-order Red Faction: Armageddon, you'll get early access to the character creator before it hits the rest of the unwashed masses. Current pre-orders count as well, so if you happen to be a fan of ridiculous outfits and wanton property damage: score.

If SR3 is anywhere near as good as SR2, I can easily see another 50 hours of my life going into this.

SR2 has full campaign co-op. It's like playing GTA IV in co-op. It's unbelievably successful in that regard and a ton of fun.

SR2 was the BEST GAME EVER. Too bad I was playing on the PC.
GTAIV was more about graphics whereas Saints Row was more about having fun. I'll take fun over graphics any day. Like playing Gunz: The Duel, TF2, Borderlands, Quake 2, and then some. I COULD care less if Borderlands had a unique art style, but it was a BADASS game. SR2's graphics weren't all that nice (but the textures were pretty good) compared to GTAIV but who needs a sandbox with 100% realistic dolls? -

I loved the hilarious and over-the-top side missions. they're really wacky. I thought the side missions and/or the things you had to do to achieve unlockables in the GTA games to be really stale and repetitive.
In SR2, the side missions were really fun.-
insurance fraud was even better in sr2

SR is more like the old GTAs in that it doesn't try to be serious. It's a game about running over hookers & taking their money that knows it's a game about running over hookers & taking their money.

It's infinitely more fun than any GTA game?

Yes. I welcome this bold new age of character customization.
