By Luke Albigés,

Saints Row has now hit the streets, and since we've already blasted through the crazy open world of Santo Ileso, we though we'd share some of our wisdom based on our time with Volition's new game...

Saints Row is a big ol' game, so anything that might help shave a little time off what will be a pretty long completion will likely be welcome. As such, we're in the process of putting together as much helpful stuff as we can based on our own experiences in Santo Ileso, covering everything from the locations of some of the hard-to-find collectibles to which skills and perks should help you get things done quicker. There's more to come, so watch this space, and we hope this resource helps you out in going for the Saints Row completion!

Saints Row: All collectible locations

Saints Row asks you to find 85 of the 115 collectibles littering the map, and while there are in-game hints and clues as to where to find them, many can be confusing, misleading, or just outright wrong.

Check out this look at what we consider some of the best perks in Saints Row to see if you might be able to give your gang-busting a bit of a boost!
