    Not horrible but this is just a bunch of side missions and side missions suck. No new vehicles, weapons or anything cool. I would recommend skipping it or only picking it up if you find it on sale.

    First off I must say this DLC's new challenges are loads of fun and I must admit I did bust out my terrible Japanese Gameshow host accent and it offended myself and my Roommate, however at this point I had Infinite ammo for all my guns so most of the challenges were a breeze. But I kinda wish there was more story and maybe a cool bossfight towards the end so yeah all in all it's worth it.

    Overall I enjoyed this dlc and thought it brought a lot of new things to the game such as activities and vehicles. However there aren't really missions its all side missions or activities. At 560msp for xbox live I feel that its a little overpriced and should be around the 300-350 msp mark. If you are a big fan of the Saints Row series then you won't really mind what price it is and enjoyOverall I enjoyed this dlc and thought it brought a lot of new things to the game such as activities and vehicles.

If you aren't that bug of a fan then you could give it a try and know for the future what Volition's dlc are like.… Expand

    Honestly, I thought it was okay, playing the new Genki Bowl activities. But then it got too repetitive for my liking. It's cool that you get 4 new homies, Sexy Kitten, Angry Tiger, Sad Panda and Tammy Tolliver (Excuse me if i spelt the last name wrong for Tammy), but i tend not to use them a lot, partly because they have really irritating voices and the vehicles are pretty bad too.

All you get are 3 terrible pink cars and the Genki Mobile, which, is pretty cool if you like fairly fast cars which shoot fire. Basically, the Genki Mobile is a faster, cooler looking Gat Mobile. One thing i do like though, are the masks and suit (Sad Panda Suit). I find my self wearing them quite often when i am mowing down Syndicate with my Giant Purple **** (Or The Penitrator, if your a massive Saints Row: The Third fan). Over all, it is a interesting DLC and if you have enough money, maybe get it, but only if you like Activities and Costumes.… Expand

    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.
