-------------------------
In a very good way, this is Saints Row v3.5.
Compared to the previous game it isn't as haphazardly ridiculous though the ridiculousness of the virtual worlds you spend 98% of your time in makes up for that entirely but in a good way. The insanity and jokes are far better throughout and less outright childish and boring as The Third's sometimes became. Surprisingly there's plenty of character development in contrast to the last game, there are actually a few welcome serious moments. Though in summery I think what they did is replace the seemingly rushed low-grade toilet humor of The Third with badass stuff in its stead, like Roddy Piper.
The the new weapons are interesting, the super powers are so completely game-changing that I'd be amazed if I've even driven any number of vehicles for more than 15 minutes. The super powers are a great core addition to the game and the enemies have gotten just that much tougher and numerous to make sure even your virtual godly *** isn't infallible. Overall the gameplay is far more fun than the previous game.
Also, even though it is based off the same engine as The Third they seem to have put extra effort into the visual quality. It is clearly better.
In totality the game is without a doubt better than the previous and worth nearly every penny. If you're not sure about getting this, get it for 25-50% off. It's easily worth at least that much.
