    Fun follow-up to Saints Row 3

    This is a fun game. It may reuse the city map from Saint's Row 3, but there's plenty of new stuff to be found amidst the familiar gameplay and tasks. Likely taking inspiration from one of SR3's DLC, for much of the game you have superpowers as you go around fighting bad guys. The humor remains a big draw for the franchise. Characters old and new permeate the story and there are lots of references to past games. The Gat DLC is a download code, not on the disc. Both the main game and the stand-alone Gat DLC did crash a few times on me which was annoying but game was still incredibly fun.

    As any gamer could tell you, the floodgates for these kinds of games were opened with the success of Grand Theft Auto III making the leap from an overhead view driving series to that of the free-roaming do anything/go anywhere action game that it remains as today. Many games have implemented a similar formula, to varying degrees of success. Saints Row, with its ample use of humor, unlikely celebrity appearances, and incorporation of some sci-fi elements, is certainly one of the more fun and creative examples of games in this genre. If you enjoy these kinds of games, Saints Row IV (newly enhanced and spruced up for the PS4) along with the brand new Gat Out Of Hell is a title that you will certainly get plenty of enjoyment from. This is admittedly my first game in the series, and while many will compare it with pros and cons to previous titles (especially the very well received third installment), this stands on its own and is definitely worth playing if you like GTA and similar games.

    Awesome game, with a subpar spinoff

    Saints Row 4 Re-Elected and GAT collects a remastered version of Saints Row 4 from the previous generation (PS3 and Xbox 360) and a brand new spinoff. These are open world games, similar in playstyle to the prior Saints Row games or Grand Theft Auto, where you roam the streets with massive and often ludicrous firepower and attempt to take over businesses and enemy strongholds, accept missions from crew members, and generally reek over-the-top mayhem. What makes SR4 and GAT different from previous SR or GTA games, is the inclusion of super powers, such as super speed, the ability to hurl balls of ice, and the ability to leap over buildings. Everything in the game is played for M-rated laughs, from the dialog to the bizarre weaponry to the pop culture references and spoofs, although the many references to and reappearances of characters from prior SR games may confuse newcomers. SR4: Re-Elected is the bigger and better of the two. You play as The Boss, the leader of the Third Street Saints, whose antics in saving the world, leads to him or her becoming President of the United States. The Boss is fully customizable. You choose The Boss's gender, voice, taunts, and clothes and you can even switch all of these during the game. Without giving too much away, The Boss's presidency is cut short by an alien attack on the planet and he/she is ultimately trapped in a virtual world and you attempt to take down the aliens in both the virtual and real world bit by bit. Also included are the two downloadable expansion packs, How the Saints Saved Christmas, wherein The Boss and his crew save Santa Claus from an alien imposter, and Enter the Dominatrix, which is presented as a collection of deleted scenes from SR4, wherein The Boss and his crew provide very funny commentary as you play through some of the original plans for SR4 (SR4 was going to be a downloadable expansion of SR3, before it became its own full fledged game). SR4 being a previous gen game gets a bump up to 1080p resolution and 60fps, although dips regularly occur, so it's obviously much more pleasing to the eye than the prior gen's 720p and mid-20fps. GAT takes place after SR4. The Boss is kidnapped by Lucifer and will be forced to marry his daughter, Jezebel, unless The Boss's best friend Johnny Gat and their fellow crew member Kinzie Kensington can save him. You play as Gat and Kinzie and can switch between the two at any time. New to GAT is the ability to fly and, eventually, to summon demons to assist you, but most everything else, including the gameplay and style of humor, remains the same here. GAT is certainly the weaker of the two. There are no real missions other than the normal taking over of the map sector by sector and the story is very minimal as you have almost no interaction with the supporting cast or antagonists. And whereas SR4 could take 20 - 30 hours to finish with 100% completion, GAT could be 100% done in a quarter of that time. You'd have to really drag your feet to stretch much further than that. I would recommend this to someone, who first and foremost, has no issue with adult language or humor. But more importantly, I'd recommend it to fans or comic books or superheroes, as you get to basically play as one. This is particularly true with SR4, given the variety in super powers and clothing options, as well as the ability to switch back and forth between male and female, thus letting you choose to play as any number of superhero characters. For example, I've created as many as 10 different members of the X-Men and I could easily create more. The customization adds a lot to SR4, which is one other thing that GAT lacks, being that you're locked into the same two characters in the same outfits the entire game. That being said, having SR4 with both expansions running at 1080p and (an attempted) 60fps was enough to justify the purchase for me. As to GAT, I could take it or leave it. It's more SR4-style gameplay, which is great, but it lacks the amusing storylines and character customization, which stinks. I enjoyed GAT for the 6 or 7 hours I played it, but its not something I would play again, unlike SR4 which I've completed 3 times now. I give this a 4 of 5 star score for the greatness that was SR4. If I were to grade them separately, I would again give SR4 a 4, but GAT would hover somewhere between a 2 and 3, meaning its completely functional, but it just didn't "wow" me.

    I was iffy on this game. Then I played it. What a wild ride. If you enjoy crazy humor, but this game. You will never stop laughing. The gameplay is polished and solid. Plays a lot like Infamous mixed with Mass Effect.

    This game is so ridiculous it's non-stop fun all the time. Why wouldn't I want to super speed run and jump across a city blasting aliens with a Disintengrator Gun or sucking them into huge black holes along with all the surrounding cars. If you're looking for a hysterically funny story with out of control weapons in an open sand box, pick this up. At $15-$20 bucks for all the DLC you can't beat it! Get your blast on!

    This is a pretty straightforward and funny game. The gameplay is very similar to the GTA series, but you get super powers that almost immediately make you invincible. It's a lot of fun to play in short bursts. Not very difficult, and easy to pick up for a short play session if you don't have a couple hours to commit to playing the Witcher or Fallout.

    This game is very laid back and fun, however it gets repetitive very quickly. One aspect that I really enjoyed was the familiar gameplay compared to Prototype and inFamous which I really enjoyed, The superpowers really make this game stand out and for that I applaud the game. Pick this up, you won't be disappointed.

    Saints Row IV is a lot of fun if you enjoyed the over the top aspect of 3. This one is even crazier and let's you have super powers. The add on is fun but doesn't add much new to the series but is definitely an added bonus considering how cheap you can get this double pack.

    Very fun title. Silly and its goes way out of its way to do so. Still a lot of fun and lots of content. If you don't want anything serious, want to laugh at yourself for playing this, and love to destroy stuff the heck up! Pick it up. You wont regret it if you get it on the cheap.

    Loads of silly fun, without being as serious as Grand Theft Auto 5. The over the top humor and super hero like gameplay make this a ton of fun to replay on PS4. Also the New DLC is included and makes it worth the asking price.

    It's a port from a last gen console, so it's a little glitch and framerate issues. But it's still funny and some of the extra DLC is incredibly off the wall.

    If you are a fan of third-person open world sandbox games, Saints Row: Re-Elected is unadulterated fun. With drop-in/drop-out co-op, sharing the mayhem with a friend is priceless. Also included is all the DLC content from the previous generation release along with the new stand-alone expansion, Gat out of Hell, giving you hours upon hours of senseless enjoyment. If you have not played Saints Row IV before, this is a definite purchase to add to your collection. If you have played it before, the additions and remastering will make you consider the purchase a second time. Tons-o-fun.

    All the basics of video games are right here in this package. I recommend playing this game with a Co-op partner to maximize the enjoyment of this title. The over-the-top action combined with adolescent humor and less-than-subtle satire compels you to blast through the campaign to see what more can happen. Saints Row IV is truly a guilty pleasure! However, you are missing something if you don't explore the variety of side missions and alternate activities. I don't recommend this for kids due to the volume of mature content and language.
