Saints Row IV’s story felt like an improvement over The Third’s story to me. Now its up to them to break out and save Earth, or at least be enough of a nuisance to Zinyak in the process. Yet his term is cut short when the alien Zin Empire, led by Zinyak, captures The Boss and the majority of his crew and traps them in a simulation of Steelport. Saints Row IV now has to follow up that act and it does so by being the Crackdown sequel we never got.Īfter stopping STAG leader Cyrus Temple from nuking Washington D.C., The Boss finds himself (or herself, thanks to the game’s in depth character creator) elected as the President of the United States.
Saints Row 2 followed up by being a genuinely good game, and then Saints Row: The Third went and made everything insane. The first game was a pretty blatant Grand Theft Auto clone that managed to get popular by beating Grand Theft Auto IV to release. The screenshots and video are from the PlayStation 4 version. There were no noticeable differences between versions. Reviewer’s Note: I played this game on both the PC and the PlayStation 4.
