    Genkibowl VII is as mad as you probably expected and just as fun. But it's over in less than an hour, which is way to short unfortunately.

    Casual fans may want or wait for another, more substantial pack to come down the pike, but for me, this was just the thing to brighten a dreary afternoon.

    The Third keeps everything that made the first two Saint's Row funny games, and twists it even more to achieve the best game in the series.

    Sexy Kitten Yamgasm has you spinning a ball of yarn (Katamari-style!) through town leaving a trail of destruction. Sad Panda Skyblazing has you floating through the air chasing mascots with a chainsaw. Just a regular day in Steelport. [March 2012, p.98]

    Genki Bowl VII's four quick activities lack the excitement and humor of your earlier adventures in Steelport.

    While not bad, Genkibowl is short, you get some nice bonuses but nothing else. Genkibowl VII consists of 4 mini games, and 2 instances ofWhile not bad, Genkibowl is short, you get some nice bonuses but nothing else. Genkibowl VII consists of 4 mini games, and 2 instances of each. One is a ascetic update to s.e.r.c. one is similar to escort but with flamethrowers. The other 2 are pretty unique, if not a tad confusing. All and all these are enjoyable and add to the longevity if the game. I personally would have liked some clothing options (like one of the previous costume packs) added to this, just to round out the package. Kinda short but they are activities not story missions.

    pros: good mini games, nice bonus items to earn.

    Cons: sometimes confusing to understand your goals, no real story or progression, feels wanting of some additional content.    … Expand

    Long version:
    You get 4 new activities, each has 2 levels: 3 of which are variations on missions you already have in the base game (escort, Proffessor genki's and a unique tank destruction mission where you play as a giant ball of yarn). The last one is new an d unique but to be honest, not the most fun IMO.
    The rewards you get are the genki vehicles (pink colored gang vehicles pretty much), the 4 girls as companions and a few trophies for psn.    … Expand
