Following their involvement in , the Saints were once again thrust into the lime light: only, this time they weren't viewed as dangerous criminals but heralded as patriots. Riding their wave of popularity, The Leader of the Saints decided to run for the highest office…and won. Now the President of the United States, the boss has gone from the crack house, to the penthouse, to the White House.
But all is not well. Despite eliminating the deficit, ending world hunger, and successfully lobbying to have pole dancing added as an Olympic sport…something dark is looming: The arrival of the Zin Empire. Lead by the erudite and egomaniacal Zinyak, the Zin brazenly attack Washington D.
C. , abducting the President and his entire cabinet. Their goal was to imprison the captives in a virtual prison to break down their will…but they never realized that the individuals they brought onto their ship weren't fat-cat politicians: They were the most dangerous men and women on the planet.
The consistent thrill of Saints Row IV is how it constantly, eagerly, happily, accommodatingly asks you âHey, how do you want to break the game now?â And for a game so colossal, so occasionally dumb, so often colossally sharks-with-laser-beams-on-their-heads-that-can-also-breathe-fire-and-fly-and-turn-invisible-and-you-can-even-ride-them dumb, what an incredibly smart thing to do with an open world, a franchise, and a story.
Volition it seems has made a new standard in over the topâŠno really I donât think you understand⊠they went over the top before. Now they had to raise the bar in standards as well, just so they could go over the top of that.
A combination of sublime and ridiculous, Saints Row IV is outlandish fun. [Nov 2013, p.97]
Overall Saints Row IV is a marvellously enjoyable game, while still suffering from a few of the complaints that the series has always had. The main quests are great, and although the side missions are not painful to play, they donât pack the same punch. If you played and enjoyed Saints Row The Third, then picking up this sequel is a must. Equally if youâre looking for a game that lets you act like a badass with special powers, this might be a better superhero game than many others that are actually billed as such.
Saints Row IV doesn't excel in terms of gameplay, but it hits a home run in terms of fun and laughter. The plot is both absurd and beautiful and the activities are so varied that one can easily forgive its faults. If you want a sandbox and you don't take yourself too seriously, Saints Row IV is a game you don't want to miss.
We think there's a story in there somewhere. Saints Row IV is weird. Too weird, in fact. And we love it for that exact reason.
The Saints Row saga can still be considered the most debauched franchise that lovers of free roamers could dream of. It has some good new ideas and the same shortcomings of the previous game, but it's a funny game nonetheless.
