Time for a review!
Heya!

It's been a while since I posted.. Well.. Anything on the blog.. So I decided to review a game..

I've decided to review the game Saints row 4 wich has been released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

I'll just start off by picking up some info on the game from wikipedia. (Lazy me but I'll comment on the info aswell)

Info: Saints Row IV is an action-adventure video game set in an open world environment.

My response: Well.. Yes, it is an action-adventure video game with open world environment.. But it doesn't live up to its expectations imo..

Info: As in previous titles in the series, the player controls the leader of the Third Street Saints, who has now become the president of the United States.

My response: You jump into the action of being the president of the USA. Even if this sounds like a great thing, you're not able to experience it for long..

Info: The game returns to the fictional city of Steelport from The Third and takes place five years after the events of The Third, focusing on the Saints fighting an alien invasion as well as simulations of the gangs and enemies from their past.

My response: This mostly speaks for itself.. But to sum it up, the earth gets blown up and everything you do further on from that happens in a simulation controlled by the leader of the Zin Empire; Zinyak. Your goal is to make the simulation corrupt enough to be able to reach Zinyak and eliminate him for good. To do this you have to rescue your whole gang from different simulations where they are trapped and then go on to finish off Zinyak.

This game didn't really talk to me like I thought it would.. It's a great game nonetheless but it could've been alot better! It messes up the story of the previous games in the series completely! I mean.. Basically the first thing that happens is that the earth gets invaded and blown up and from that point you'll live on an alien ship and perfom actions in a simulation.

I do admire the game but I believe it has come to look a lot more like the Prototype games since you get certains superpowers from consuming a special specie of alien monsters (wich look very much like the hunters in the Prototype games).

Overall I would give this game a 7 on a scale from 1 to 10 since I was disappointed on how the originality disappeared but the game was still very entertaining in a way that not a lot of other games are.

Hope you enjoyed reading and I might post some more reviews soon! We'll see! Please give me your feedback if you liked it and what I could improve 'til next time!

- Love, Xez
