Saints Row 3 is also on PC. You can find it cheap during one of the seasonal Steam sales (under 10 dollars recently). Does not take a mega PC to run it either in requirements. If you only roll with Linux or OSX, it's old enough it should run fine with Wine.

It was released in the fall of 2011. I would be surprised if it ran well under wine.

It might have some stability issues (I haven't seen anything posted about it with Wine in over a year now though), but if one can get it running, I don't think it would perform that bad.

It would depend on if you wanted it to work with the dx11 graphics or dx9 option. Dx9 is all consoles get so it wouldn't be horrible. The game is also nowhere as graphically impressive as some other PC games (Witcher 2, original Crysis, Deus Ex). Lots of low res textures in it that were not improved when porting from the consoles.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but it's a console port at heart and has the side-effects that come from porting it without improving graphically really. It wasn't a game I played for the graphics though and not something to nitpick really.

It's not only the textures that's the problem. Wine's app tracker reports that in 2010, Saints Row 2 would crash on launch. It's possible it runs now, but that doesn't leave Saints Row 3 with a good outlook.
