In Saints Row IV , the series comes full circle. What started out as a GTA clone has mushroomed into something utterly bonkers. All pretence has disappeared and any veneer of respectability has been yanked away, replaced instead by farce, lunacy and lashings of self referential wit.

Two years ago, I played Saints Row the Third and I LOVED it. I was so excited about Saints Row IV coming out to return to the crazy world of Steelport and catch up with the shenanigans of the Saints.

Funny; silly; a bit of fun

A bit samey; an easy game

I'll just come right out and say it, this is the worst of the series. While the game adds superpowers to the gameplay it's lost nearly everything else that's made it good. It hasn't lost a lot of what made it fun so it's still an alright game but from the excellent Saints Row 2 it's fallen into...

Some fun to be had; 'They Live' level

Recycled city; lost all the heart and charm; lack of originality; not a lot of new customization options

Saints Row IV attempts to improve on 2011's Saints Row: The Third in an unexpected way, inexplicably appointing the player character as the President of the United States, as well as transporting the central open-world hub city of Steelport to a virtual version of itself, thereby granting members of...

The Saints are back and are throwing any little bit of sense right out of the window. Volition have taken the Saints brand far beyond anything that seemed reasonable, but is it for the best?

Too difficult to play as you have no idea what is going on with audio. I have subtitles on but I cant read and play at the same time.

Game is, well, its Saint's Row meets Crackdown; Personally I think it is a fun game; + 2 Stars for being fun

MY SOUND IS NO GOOD - Minus 3 stars -I installed on my new PS3; installed necessary updates; started a fresh campaign; and I just thought it was a long winded musical instrumental intro.

Awesome game its like playing gta but with super powers . Although the glitchy looking screen may sometimes make your eyes hurt so id recommend dont play it for really long. Other than the screen glitching which is made for the game on purpose by volition , everything is completely fine.

DLC, before evolving into a standalone release that was eventually snapped up by Deep Silver after the demise of THQ.

Saints Row: The Third became notorious for breaking away from that Grand Theft Auto -inspired style of action-adventure games. By thinking outside the box – way outside the box – developer Volition managed to successfully create one of the wildest sandbox titles this console generation.

Coming from Saints Row The Third: The Full Package, I was expecting this game to be the same or better but what I get is a game than is less fun. I don't mind the same city but I do mind how the game doesn't store any surprises like it did with SR3.
