    I never played any of Saints Row games before. In fact, I am new to console gaming, so for me this game was really enjoyable. Tons of fun flying around, though I am not sure what cars are for in this game, probably for explosions. Anyway, although game looks a bit dated compared to GTA5, it still is tons of fun.

    You might be wondering why I gave this game a perfect 10/10 score when nearly all critic reviews land in the 50-60 range. I'll tell you exactly why. Because it was free.

    Yes indeed folks the 4th edition of the Saints Row franchise really does seem to have it all! From the very outset high octane action is on the cards, throwing you straight into the Saints latest mission.

    The core of Saints Row is there; there are still plenty of absurd weapons, costumes, and activities. But the way you interact with the world has changed. No longer are you an ordinary earthbound mortal. Saints Row IV turns you into a superhero capable of running up the sides of buildings and flinging people with your mind. The new world actually enables even more craziness that what any fan of the series would be hoping for.

    The game itself is not a tough challenge for any experienced gamer, in fact some may deem that the missions are too short or too easy, however this game is designed to entertain not frustrate. This is non-clearer than the moment you find yourself swaying gently whilst you guide our hero to climb a rocket whilst Aerosmith’s ‘I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing’ blares through your speakers.

    Let’s not forget the pink elephant in the room…. How does it compare to GTA 5? Well although the similarities are there, a comparison may not ever be needed. GTA offers reality whilst Saints is pure fantasy. So it’s time to let GTA go guys and let down your hair by blasting crazy aliens out of the sky!

    Visually Saints is what we have seen in the past, after 4 hours of gameplay I was unsure whether the designers had taken advantage of the next-gen to its full potential (PS4 version reviewed). All is forgiven as this little niggle is soon out-weighed by the fact that Saints is a pick up and go type of game with easy to use controls and opening missions which quickly allow players to practice their superhuman skills such as running along walls and lifting objects with the power of your mind… indeed!

    Because the game is so good about dishing out new weapons and abilities at a steady pace, you often feel like you have some fun new toy with which to torment your puny alien oppressors. However, because you have so many ways of so effectively overcoming them, combat eventually starts to feel rote and inconsequential, and you may often find yourself just freeze-blasting and shattering your enemies repeatedly to be done with a fight as quickly as possible. And it doesn’t help that even though many of your weapons have crazy visual effects or other gimmicks associated with them, they lack any sense of oomph.

    Although it’s easy to do so, try not to run straight through the story missions, as it is some of the side missions (each allowing you to gain XP, Cache or goodies) that bring some of the biggest laughs so taking the time to explore these is highly recommended. ‘How the Saints Saved Christmas’ is a little festive delight allowing you to shoot Santa Claws out of the sky whilst dressed in last year’s Christmas jumper!
    In all if you want a game that’s easy to play from the get go that gives you and your mates a true belly laugh pick up the latest installment and you will not regret it!

    If you don't care about playing last-gen material on new-gen platforms, give this a miss, do yourself a favour and pickup a copy of the original Saints Row IV for under a tenner.

    Gat out of Hell is not bad, but it's not great either. To put it simply, it's more Saints Row IV. If you go into it thinking its going to have all new gameplay with an all new story, you are going to be disappointed. It's fun but the overwhelming feel of deja vu may sour you a bit on it.
