Saints Row IV

The ridiculous fun of the series comes to a crescendo in this superhero romp. The game makes good use of the map from the previous game, with enough changes to keep it from seeming stale. Adding super powers speeds up the game-play and helps avoid the dull commutes that mar many sandbox titles. Again the story and characters are funny, which is rare in most games. I would recommend playing Saints Row 3 before you tackle this one as they're deeply linked but be sure to add this one to your wish-list.

Saints Row is a series I adore and they seemed to get better with every installment. The fourth game is the peak in wacky and enjoyable.

The addition of superpowers is just silly, in a good way, and every completed quest feels worthwhile. The only catch is the superpowers makes the game a little too easy at times, obliterating any opposition once everything is attained.

The story is equally fruit loop, taking pot shots at famous media of past and present. A blast from start to finish.

In my opinion the Saints Row games are some of the best games available on any format. They have great gameplay that is SO much fun it's difficult to put the controller down!!! Looking forward to Saints Row 5!

The first Saints Row game that i played was the third one, and This one takes a lot of material from its Predecessor. The city is the same so if you learned where things were, you will have no problems with navigation. The best thing about these games is the comedy found in everything, from the names of places to the content of conversations between characters. Some game take themselves far too seriously but this is a refreshing break from that.

Some refer to these games as Grand Theft Auto's little sibling, but I think that it is different enough to stand alone as an adult game, without the comparisons by simply having the craziest storyline and missions in games. Another big bonus is the character design aspect that allows you to create you own character in the same way as Skyrim and other games. This makes it personal to you, rather than being given a set character that you have no attachment to at the start.

The only criticism I have of this game would probably be that there may be a little too much repetition on the collectible side of things. most games that I have played have 50-200 items to find. I was a bit daunted by the Amazing spider-man game having 700! but over 1200 here may get boring for the people like me, who play to 100% complete, by the end of the game.

All in all, a very entertaining game that deserves to be played! If you enjoy this game as much as I have then it will be money well spent!

A slight dip off from the third this is still an impressive feat, obviously not safe from its bugs and issues the decision to make the gang into legitimate public figures then superheroes is extremely brave but ultimately encapsulates the series' goal: wacky fun and to be honest not much more can be said it's a truly fun experience
