It’s a fun game, but it’s also so over the top

I have enjoyed the previous two titles in the Saints Row series. This one is taking the story, the jokes, and the believability over the edge. It’s no longer about you taking over street turf (Although it still is). It’s more about you taking over the world as if you are some sports figure with endorsement and movie deals. The game has to go bigger then before to make it more grand. This can be a good deal of fun when you are flying an Apache attack helicopter creating mayhem everywhere. The customization is also a lot of fun, I ran through the game as a female with a Russian accent. On the flip side, how are you realistically going to run a street gang with all the craziness that is happening. The graphics have gotten better which makes the game visually more fun. The physics are all over the place, but that can be fun as well. There is a good deal of progression in the game that makes playing easier and fun as well. My favorite is being able to buy a perk that shows you where all the collectibles are on the map (Although I found 75% of them on my own). It’s not a hard game to get through. There is one achievement that requires you to play for 30 hours. I reached it easily before I ran out of things to do and it didn’t feel like 30 hours. All the things I mention that I liked could of made this a four star game and it was almost there. The things I didn’t care for brought it down to a three star game. This title is the start of a love hate kind of thing because of the direction the series is heading. I can only imagine from the box art, what the 4th game will be like, and it already looks ridiculous. Having just finished this game I will be diving right into the next one. May Gat help me.

  • I have to admit that when I started this game I had some preconceptions about what I was to expect from a game titled Firewatch. What I was expecting was some sort of forest simulator where you put out fires. That you would be working for the forest service as a lookout. Keeping an keen eye out for possible fires or smoke in the Wyoming wilderness. I also thought that I...

  • It’s zombies and more zombies for the killing as you play through this top down action adventure shooter. The controls are set up so that you move with the left stick and aim with the right stick. Holding down the right trigger is required to shoot. These controls are easy to master with some practice. You will be able to interact with objects by pressing the A...

  • When you think about the stealth genre in gaming Splinter Cell is one of the games that will immediately come to mind.

There are books based on the character as well and just...

  • Before it arrived on the Xbox 360 in 2007, Carcassonne was first created as a board game in the year of our Lord 2000. Interestingly enough the board game was named after a real fortified city that sits on a hill in the south of France and it shares the same name as the games. 1755048507319226772 All three have a commonality that says it’s the Middle Ages.
