I seriously enjoyed this game. I'm 2 gold rankings away from a Platinum and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

The game is very silly, very fast, and throws a lot of Saints Row 1-3 knowledge at you that if you don't know, you may miss a reference here or there, but it definitely doesn't subtract from the gameplay.

There is a huge variety of weapons, vehicles (though you rarely drive), and of course the super powers are great.

The story does move along and while this is more of a tribute to the series, it does provide an adequate resolution to the story with a pretty fun final boss fight.

However, my game had freezing issues. I can't tell if it's my PS3 or the game anymore, but especially when I opened up the menu multiple times in a few seconds by accident it caused freezing. Luckily I never had a corrupted save game file or anything and the autosaves are frequently enough, but that alone subtracts a star.

I will also complain a little about the controls. I felt they could have utilized the controller better. You use your D pad to select a power and a single button to activate that power if it's a ground stop, aura, energy blast or telekinesis. This makes it very hard to use a variety of powers at once. I would have preferred that ground-stomp to be its own button or motion, At least, but also finding a unique way to active auras (let's say.. shaking the controller?) would have cleaned up the control scheme a bit. Instead of feeling overall super powered you simply feel like you're changing weapons.

That's it though.

In terms of the Game of the Generation edition The rotating case is awesome, the dubstep gun is a lot smaller than it looks but it makes for an awesome cat-toy (it shoots a red laser out), the Johnny Gatt statue is perfect (I actually keep it in side of the spinning case instead of the game), the bag to cover the spinning case is surprisingly high quality... and the Dubstep Button is a nifty addition. I definitely don't regret getting this version.

Saints Row IV is a silly over the top game that is a less serious version of grand theft auto. Once you start playing it is hard to put down.

Regardless what controversy you have heard surrounding this game, it is at its core, Saints Row. A phenomenal experience as you probably already know. Saints Row moved in to fill the open world gap left behind after GTA San Andreas revealed itself to be the last giant sandbox by R* that would reside in the irreverent, comical vein of the genre. Saints Row is an amazing experience. Four improves the formula and gives you pretty much everything you have ever wished for in open world game. Nearly limitless character customization. Great dialog and story (assuming you understand you are getting Saints Row). Best of all in this value driven age, a ton of replay value. There are always more things to discover in these games. As always, the soundtrack is diverse, enjoyable, and has something for everyone.

Really, I don't see a reason why you shouldn't get this game. If you know how to laugh and like to have fun, this could be your game of the generation as well.

What can I say....

played this game for hours!

I can't sleep....

Really absorbing.... lots of things to accomplish! Missions... mayhem, destruction.... haha Im so entertained!

I thought they had it with SR3 but SR4 takes the cake.

Better graphics, fluid controls.... freedom to do whatever you want.

Plus really appreciate the humor!

Still trembling as I type this.

The GoG edition has got to be the best collector edition for the year! The statue, display and wubwub gun are beautiful and a great conversation starter at dinner parties! If only they made the bendy dildo thing they featured in the game... haha

Get it!
