The player character, now in complete control of Steelport, is working a covert mission when he or she, almost by mistake, ends up saving the White House. Saints Row 4 picks up shortly after the events of SR3. The trademark humor of the series (goofy, self-referential) is present from the very beginning, and that helps make up for a lot of the game's shortcomings, but it's still a product that feels a little less-than. It's more of what gamers loved from Saints Row the Third, but without that same refinement and attention to detail.
To be honest, Saints Row 4 is a little bit of both. So, with that mind, is Saints Row 4 everything fans hoped it would be or is it a disappointment? Sure, a lot of the key elements of Volition's open world crime game have been there from the beginning, but the way in which Saints Row 3 packaged it all was rather remarkable.Īs a result, anticipation is high for Volition's followup, Saints Row 4, not simply because SR3 was so good, but because Volition seemed to know exactly where they were headed in the future. Although the Saints Row franchise has been around for almost a decade now, a strong case could be made to say the series came into its own with Saints Row the Third.
