    This game is such a downgrade from SR3.

    Missions are repetitive and not fun except from a handfull, enemies are wack.

    Story is ok but sr3 was way better.

    I dont recommend it.

    Final mission is a compilation of all the wackest missions in the game too with a lame ass boss fight.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    This may be the weakest in the franchise and the criticisms are very valid. Yet this game is still a blast plus we get Gat back which is crazy after his mind baffling off screen death in the third game. Its saints row where you are the president of the USA and have super powers, oh and also a dubstep gun... yes its very 2013 humour.

    Шикарное завершение оригинальной квадрологии Святых. Масса пародий и отсылок на кинофраншизы и игры.

    Not as fun as the third but still offers the fun, chaotic humor and weapons.

    Can this game be played without glitches? i mean the kind where you need to restart the entire mission? perfect for those of us in the gaming community who are slightly braindead and would love to play a game that was built by members of a mental institution. Content was overall garbage. Glitchiness got to me. hope you all get covid

    Only getting a 3/10, for being exactly the same as the PS3 version when it comes to visuals. They have enhanced absolutely nothing. Sad excuse for a PS4/Xbox One title.

    Es la peor historia que han podido hacer para unos pandilleros y tampoco hubo mucha mejora en gráficos. Son unos vagos.

    I really enjoyed this game. I had no major issues playing this at all.

    Pros:amazing storyline, amazing vehicle choices, improved graphics, and fun side quests.

    Cons:keep in mind these are my issues and they are minor. Not all vehicles are modifiable. Vehicle control is a bit unstable again. Not as bad as Saints Row 2 but not as good as Saints Row The Third.

    A friend forced me to sit through this with him. Normally games like this guarantee a laugh or two but playing this was pure torture. He promised me a "funny GTA" but it was nothing like that. It was just pure boredom with too easy and shallow gameplay, boring and non-sensical story (in a bad way).

    This is an extremely fun game. Crazy story, definitely. But it flows together and it’s a joy gaining abilities and fighting the mini bosses, etc. Love the game in 2020 and looks great on Xbox One X.

    SR IV is what a 14-year old boy's fantasies come to life would look like and it's both braindead stupid and fun as hell because of it. The perfect "turn your brain off and have fun" game, just don't expect too much.

That being said though I really like this game just cause its basically a free range game with powers. Some glitchy areas though and all the challenges are ridiculously easy to get gold on. No real point in using the cheat codes either unless you want a boost at the start but progressing through the storyline you can get unlimited sprint and all that. I dont really see a point in driving anywhere either since your sprint is alot faster and the recruitment doesnt seem to be necessary since i'm usually blasting everything in my way. But if you do have Playstation Now or its on sale for under $10 I'd pick it up if you're looking for an easy game to blow **** up .… Expand

    Good superhero game, but bad saints row game.

    The fans are divided with this one for sure as many did not like the new direction the series went with. The game is easily a very fun game, but there are a few flaws. 1 - The game cars are now obsolete as you can run faster with your super powers. 2 - The game can still get jumpy as a last gen game even on a ps4 pro 3 - Silly story    Good superhero game, but bad saints row game.

    2 - good variety of side missions and activities
    3 - Music stays on when leaving a vehicle.
    4 - Enemies are bullet sponges even when weapons are maxed.

    I liked SR4 but I was a bad SR game in general in my opinion.    … Expand

    Impeccable story & gameplay. It could of definitely had better co-op and DLCs. Very tiny bit of laughable mechanics. I'm an OG Saints Row fan. To me, this game is near perfect, but has no business being called a main title. How in the world do you go from stone cold gang leader to Alien empire leader? This would have been a perfect spin-off or DLC launching at $20-$30.

    A whole lot of bang for your buck. You'll get Saint's Row 4 with all the DLCs which have ton of content. This game is different compared to Saint's Row 3 or 2 but no other game lets you feel like a super hero like this. You can get from one end of the city to the next in a matter of seconds and destroy everything in your path.

Activities are a bit boring compared to the last entries and the hacking mini-game can be REALLY frustrating at times but there are so many fun quests and side-quests that make up for that and the DLCs are very funny and full of wacky humor. Definitely go for it if you like a weird and twisted world you can mess around in.

    P.S: Make sure to rebuild the data-base of the PS4 after you have installed the game, otherwise it can crash.    … Expand

    Yikes. This is one of the worst "next gen" ports I've ever seen, with non-existent improvements, and the colour palette is downright ugly. However, the main game itself is a lot of fun.

Also, the in-your-face attitude and the toilet humour are an acquired taste. I didn't find it particularly funny most of the time. If "testicular manslaughter" sounds like a fun joke to you, then you're in for a real treat. The characters are rather silly, and the game conveys a similarly juvenile attitude. But the customizability of the characters, guns and playstyles makes for a really enjoyable 15-20 hour ride. It is a real circus freak show, and you are given access to every torture weapon under the sun. PS. I would also recommend getting the stand-alone expansion "Gat out of Hell" - but only if it is on sale.… Expand

    This is an ugly and lazy port of the PS3 version of SRIV. If you have a decent GPU, opt for the much better-looking and -playing PC version. Seriously.

    Having played this and beating on both the PS3 (base game) and the PS4 (with all of the DLC), I'd say my familiarity on SRIV is strong. Just one thing I'd want to say, I enjoyed Saints Row 2 and this equally the same. I just had to look at them in a different light. Honestly, for a long while, I hated how the transition from Saints Row 2 to the 4th one, made the gameplay WAYYY easier.Having played this and beating on both the PS3 (base game) and the PS4 (with all of the DLC), I'd say my familiarity on SRIV is strong.

Honestly, for a long while, I hated how the transition from Saints Row 2 to the 4th one, made the gameplay WAYYY easier. As a matter of fact, between the lack of daylight/weather and superpowers dumbing down the difficulty were the only two things I hated about the game.

    Everything that made the previous entries great is back, DEEP character customization, crazy weapons, the activities and of course the careless and unrealistically stupid humor. WHICH IS GREAT, so long as you leave all seriousness, sanity and sense of realism at the door. Chock full of fan service, which includes Keith David presence in the game, toilet humor, Nolan North's hilarious voice talents and so many damn movie, game and media references that it's just TOO DAMN MUCH to remember. Needless to say, this is the most entertaining sandbox game out there!

    In fact, that is it's sole purpose TO ENTERTAIN. Forget about driving cars, robbing stores or avoiding the police. When can throw fireballs, make earthquakes and pretty much make the game world YOUR B*TCH!

    If you missed the GTA style gameplay from SRII, sorry you aren't getting it here. But if you're looking for a sandbox focused with ridiculous physics and absurd humor, this is it. Besides there are enough of those, AS IT IS!! Just one thing, don't expect ANY real graphical upgrades to the PS4. (The only plus is decreased loading times)    … Expand
