It’s not perfect, not being able to shoot while jumping felt unnecessarily awkward, but by the end of the game I was more than used to the controls. Like I mentioned before it almost makes Saints Row IV feel like a missing entry in the Crackdown series, and that’s not really a bad thing. While you only start with super speed and jumps, eventually you’ll be throwing balls of ice, using telekinetic to toss cars, sending out shockwaves by stomping the ground, and even creating nuclear explosions.

Pierce and Kinzie are my personal favorites, and finally seeing the return of King was a great throwback to fans of the original Saints Row.Īt first Saints Row IV plays like your typical open world third person shooter, but it isn’t long before it throws superpowers into the mix.

Not all the characters from The Third return (I seriously miss Zimos) but those that do also add a ton to the game. New characters, like MI-6 agent Asha and the robotic CID offer some new and interesting dynamics for the team.

Saints Row 2 followed up by being a genuinely good game, and then Saints Row: The Third went and made everything insane. The first game was a pretty blatant Grand Theft Auto clone that managed to get popular by beating Grand Theft Auto IV to release. The screenshots and video are from the PlayStation 4 version. There were no noticeable differences between versions. Reviewer’s Note: I played this game on both the PC and the PlayStation 4.
