I always wanted to try Saints Row: The Third but never did until it was "Free with Gold" on the Xbox 360. I thought it was the best game I had played in a long time. So I thought I would try Saints Row 4 because I loved 3 so much, but I was concerned about the super powers making the game to easy. So I listened to reviews from Amazon and "Angry Joe from YouTube" and they said it was a good game so I went ahead and bought it. Boy was I blown away, I was wrong the super powers make the game even better than 3, the story is not as good as 3 but still engaging. The super powers do make it slightly easy but that's because I started the game on casual (Hardcore is slightly harder). The character customization is amazing (many customizable options (as much as elder scrolls)). Now I started playing Saints Row at Saints Row: The Third, if you listen to a person that has played all of them, they would have a different opinion. However if your looking for something fun to play and easy to understand then this is the game. (After playing GTA 4 and 5, I thought Saints Row was a lot better).

If you liked Saints Row the Third, this game is very very similar. The story has gotten even crazier to the point where you can run superfast and jump superhigh.
I really like the game, but the framerate on Xbox 360 is horrible. It slows down to a crawl when running and jumping almost all of the time. Also, I think the difficulty is a bit off. You can get superpowered in a short time into the game that most of it is too easy.

Listen, Saints Row is an awesome franchise, but they missed the mark a little and went completely overboard with four. The super powers were awesome, but it take away the fun things like driving and walking around and beating people up. Don't get me wrong it's fun to let off some steam with this game as the cops are a joke (easy to kill) and the enemies are sissys. I wouldn't buy it brand new, but if you've played the others, definitely check this one out...at some point...no rush.

Wasnt expecting this game to be so fun. Within the first hour you get super powers which bring the enjoyment of this game to the next level. Upgrading system is good and the variety of customization is well structured. On the other side getting your powers fairly early makes the game easy in addition to poor AI. Overall great purchase and well over the price I paid ($16 when it was on sale) will wait for the season pass to go on sale since the content is lacking for the $10 asking price.

This game was a pleasant surprise. I expected "more of the same" after playing Saint's Row 1 through 3. The super powers make it feel like something totally different. I loved being able to literally jump my way across the map instead of tediously driving or running. Obliterating enemies with these powers was really satisfying.
I really hope we get another Saint's Row game with these types of powers.

I am a huge fan of the Saints Row series, and think these games peeked with number 3. Number 4 is more of what made 3 so great, but at times seems too over the top. It also seems like it was suppose to be a DLC for Saints Row 3 that they beefed up and not a stand alone game. Steelport is revisited in a VR world, and the story is a direct ripoff of the Matrix Movies. With that said if you love the third game in this series you'll enjoy this one all most as much. In fact they go even crazier with Leave it to Beaver spoofs, Matrix red pill, blue pill, and alien encounters galore. If you prefer the more GTA style of the earlier Saint Row games you might not enjoy this one. If your like me and loved the Third game you'll enjoy this one.

Saint's Row IV continues where the Third left off. It is just like it's predecessor with the addition of super powers. And who doesn't like super powers, they're awesome. If you enjoyed the sometimes crude humor of Saint's Row the Third, you'll enjoy this one as well. The gameplay is fun but not especially challenging.

This game is funny, inappropriate, awesome and very addicting. I've easily put more then 20 hrs just running around doing random stuff without even touching the story mode... When buying this game know that it doesn't take itself seriously and you shouldn't either.. it's just an absolute blast

This game is fun to play and features super powers for you to level up. Game starts with a cut scene of character flying into battle in a helicopter, then you start fighting with a girl talking to you through a head set in game, telling you what needs to be done...

Got this for my kids and started playing it and liked it. I have played all the past Saint's Row games and was hoping this would be better than them. It's not but still fun.
I do recommend it for Saint's Row fans and others looking for a fun game to play.

I personally loved this installment, It's very different from the last three, but that is what makes it good in my opinion.
It still has that great and funny story line and all the great customization options that all the others possess.
