    This review contains spoilers, click expand 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.… Expand

    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.

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

    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.

    The cost of Genkibowl VII isn't worth the quantity of gameplay you get for your money, and the quality of the gameplay isn't good enough to justify committing to a Season Pass at this point. I had a lot of fun with Saints Row: The Third, I expected more out of Professor Genki.
