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.

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!
