    From the moment the Monday Night Football theme song kicks off, you know you're going to love the new Genkibowl VII DLC for Saint's Row: The Third. It continues the mayhem and utter amazing stupidity of the core game in a short burst of activities and new gear.

    A handful of nicely insane activities. [Apr 2012, p.85]

    I had a great time with the missions aside from the Super Ethical PR Opportunity jobs, but I recognize that this DLC isn't for everyone. There's no denying that the DLC is short; the eight missions go by very quickly. If you didn't like the side missions and don't care about homies, special vehicles or outfits, you might want to let this one pass you by. If you're like me, though, and simply crave more of the Steelport crazy, you could do a lot worse than GenkiBowl VII.

    They didn't even have the decency to make a story out of the few activities featured. Hopefully the next DLC, 'The Trouble with Clones...',They didn't even have the decency to make a story out of the few activities featured. Hopefully the next DLC, 'The Trouble with Clones...', won't seem as sloppily slapped together.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. To me it seems as though this DLC could have been a lot more than it really was. When i first played a professor Genki it made me think this DLC would have been perfect in every way possible. Unfortunately to me, it wasn't. It seems as though they tried to implement a story into it but ended up just seeming sloppy. The main quest line for it is mainly composed of just a revamped or more hectic version of a regular side-missions in game. For example, when you must escort prof. Genki around Steelport before making his appearance you must run over some people. To me this seems as though it is just a remade version of Zimos' escort service. When you actually play a super ethical reality climax it seems as though they captured most of the elements,but they feel short on the appeal to me. The reality climaxes to me felt as though it was just, kill a bunch of people, run around like a madman trying to find a health sign to shoot, kill a brute, repeat. While i do admit that Sexy kitten's and Sad Panda's missions were very fun they couldn't make up for the other two missions. Sad Panda's skyblazing felt knew and exciting but Sexy kitten's Yarngasm (i believe this is what it is called) just felt like playing Mayhem except without using guns and you had a tank. Honestly the DLC feels like the developers were lazy and added a new paint job to old mini-games and added a new one to trick you. I wouldn't pick this up unless you really want to see for yourself what it is like so you can develop your own opinion.… Full Review »
