Saints Row IV Review

It's a shame I didn't pre-order the game sooner but I didn't really have any money to get the super wub wub edition or game of the generation edition. Both are great premium goodie packs and the fact that I missed out on getting them has made me rather upset but anyways on to the review!

This is easily a great game however, there are some faults that really detract from the game mainly the graphics and the environment. The facial animations as well as overall graphical quality is pretty poor for this generation of game a lot of the characters faces that were well developed in sr2-3 have been severely mangled, mainly Kinzie from SR3 and Pierce from the main game line. Pierce doesn't even look like Pierce anymore (poor Pierce).

That being said, its hard not to have fun with this game at its core is mass murder, ridiculous antics, funny cliches its all there wrapped up in a pretty package. Here are some images of testifiable fun

Shooting aliens in the face, running around topless, killing furries yeah that's all in there. Oh did I mention there's more? Most of the stuff that made SR3 a well polished success are back genki bowl, ridiculous weapons, ruthless disregard for morality. Sadly this is also one of the detracting factors for the game. A lot of the game's elements feel slapped together from previous Saints Rows and while the re-addition of a particular gang member was welcomed the overall feel of the quests and missions felt disjointed. At times it even felt like it was poorly prepped. It certainly didn't help that mid-project THQ went bankrupt, this rendition felt rough, but because its a return to the insanity we all know and love it's still enjoyable. Saints Row IV gets a solid 7/10 :)
