Overview

Development
This game started as a port of Saints Row 2 by Mass Media Games[1] and later Savage Entertainment[2], both external team outside of Volition. After realizing that the limitations of the platform would not allow for a complete port of the game, it was decided that it would be a new story, named Saints Row: The Fall, which was later changed to Saints Row Undercover. The game was eventually scrapped after THQ and Volition reviewed a build of the game and felt that the game so far did not properly hold up to the quality of the series.[6][1]

Plot
Saints Row Undercover takes place directly after the events of Saints Row 2. The 3rd Street Saints become the dominant gang in Stilwater, but for unknown reasons The Saints become divided, causing a civil war. With no other choice, Police Chief Troy Bradshaw recruits a Undercover Cop (the player character) to infiltrate The Saints in order to gain information on what caused the war and finding a solution to putting it to an end.
The player starts off in the Stilwater Police Academy under the training of Lt. Schlemmer into learning how to use a weapon, how to melee fight, as well as learning how to drive. The player must then join the Saints where he will meet Johnny Gat and get canonized into the saints.
The rest of the game's plot is of the player fighting against the former Saints Lieutenant Lady Ranja and her gang of new saints. At the end the player defeats Lady Ranja as well as Mr. Sunshine's identical twin.
The story ends with Johnny Gat discovering the truth about the player and gives him the choice of either joining The Saints or go back to continue his career of being a Cop, the player ends up deciding to join The Saints.
