Saints Row IV

Two years ago, Volition managed to bring an open-world game Saints Row: The Third is arguably "crazy". This year, Volition already changed hands from THQ to Deep Silver, next re-issue series titled Saints Row IV.

Given the arrival next month we will be Grand Theft Auto V, an open-world game that also awaited by the entire world, is there any reason to play Saints Row IV? Make no mistake, the reason it turned out so much!

Saints Row IV tells us as the leader of the Third Street Saints after saving the world from the threat of nuclear missiles, is now appointed as the president of the United States. But the peace did not last long, because the Earth is attacked by aliens Zin Empire that arresting all those who think they 'deserve' to be collected and imprisoned in a virtual reality world. The cabinet members also kidnapped all Americans, including Washington Pierce, Kinzie Kensington, Shaundi, Matt Miller, as well as the president himself.

After freeing themselves from alien ships, began the Third Street Saints struggle to rescue their colleagues and defeated the King of Zin Empire, Emperor Zinyak.

Saints Row IV, just like Saints Row: The Third, an open-world action game where players want to run freely given mission, or just want to screw up in the city. Saints Row: The Third is crazy, but Saints Row IV managed to increase the insanity by adding Super Power.

Super power of telekinesis to throw objects into the opponent

In the virtual reality world that is located in Steelport, we'll get super powers like run very fast and jump very high. Over the course of the story, the power generated by the president of the United States will increase a lot, ranging from the Freeze Blast, Fire Blast, Telekinesis, Stomp, and kick death and so on. We can also upgrade this super power of using clusters scattered across the city.

Setting Steelport in the world of virtual reality alone makes the game became could be processed into anything by Volition, and created a video game that is full of parodies of other games.

Clearly alien attack similar to the attack of the Collectors in Mass Effect series, even the president has an aircraft carrier where he can talk to the crew and could be related to their romance.

The main mission of Saints Row IV, unexpectedly, really varied. There is a stealth mission where we had to crawl through the airduct location, a walk while hiding in a cardboard box, a mission in which we act as secret agent James Bond-style accompaniment tracks, there is also the mission of nostalgia where we visit the church in the first Saints Row, complete with aiming classic cameras, to mission-sidescrolling beat 'em up Streets of Rage style, entitled "Saints of Rage".

Rocket launcher customization into the guitar bag

Although the main story of Saints Row IV is still the same as the previous game, which is quite short, also provided a lot of side missions to complete with tantalizing rewards, including Loyalty Mission is for each crew so they could have a super power, screwy activity kinds Super powered Fight Club, a new show Professor Genki, up to the UFO Mayhem.

Like previous Saints Row, Saints Row IV also has a character creation for our own creating what U.S. presidents appear. This time, Volition has added several new hairdos.

In terms of the selection of clothing, Volition generously include DLC Saints Row: The Third, including costumes Bloody Canoness, Nyte Blayde costume, even down to the costumes and luchadores Deckers, following a variety of new costumes as costumes "Luke Skywalker," costume "Minecraft," and costumes "Boba Fett."

Dubstep Gun

Not only clothes, weapons can now be customized, although it is pre-made, aka we could only choose from existing options and not just the color itself as the outfit. Volition also all added some unique new weapons like Dubstep Gun, Inflato-Ray, Abduction Gun, and Tentacle Bat and so on.

Graphically, Saints Row IV is still the same with Saints Row: The Third, even the location is the same, keep in Steelport. But not to worry, now Steelport has changed shape, becoming darker with various objects scattered aliens. Since the setting is a virtual reality, Volition deliberately create various graphical glitch in the game of his arguably somewhat less unsightly.

Cool Gliding

 Selection of Saints Row IV soundtrack taken from the usual songs that may be less well known but has various modern genres such as rock, hip hop, rap, 80's, classical to reggae. Some famous performing epic song in the game, such as the theme song from the movie Armageddon Aerosmith, "I Do not Wanna Miss a Thing" which accompanied the president when thwart nuclear launch, or a song sung by Paula Abdul in 'sing along'.

In terms of sound, Volition gives a choice of seven character voices for our characters, including Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, and Nolan North. Dialogues on Saints Row IV is serious but tend funny, even deliberately made annoying sounds like a robot GLaDOS from Portal.

The Saints defeat the Zin Empire

Volition also has to solve the problem of loneliness Saints Row: The Third when we walk away. The grounds set in the world of virtual reality, we can set the radio anytime anywhere (except being a mission), even when we were outside the car. Unfortunately, this means that the presence of a car to be a bit redundant, because once we have super speed, super jump and gliding, for what else we drive a car?

And if the action still feels less alone pretty crazy, Saints Row IV also gives the existence of a co-op online mode to perform some activity that had to be played together.

Saints Row IV has aliens, super power, character creation, character customization, weapon customization, vehicle customization, power armor robot, unique box art, as well as the return of Johnny Gat who had died in Saints Row: The Third.

When there is more open-world game in the console with the main character a woman? Rockstar obviously not going to do it in the near future, seen from the Grand Theft Auto V that has three main characters and all of them are men. Only Saints Row!

Conclusions

Saints Row IV is one game that should not be missed by gamers this year. For those of you, who like to play all kinds of games and movie fans, will surely recognize the things parodied by Saints Row IV. This game is a source of laughter which has a moment of "What the hell" highest this year.

The game designers did belong in a mental hospital, his game is really crazy. Saints Row IV is now available in GSShop. (TFZ)
