In fact, this is probably the biggest complaint most users will have. Fans of the previous game will immediately recognize it as it is exactly the same location with a few minor extraterrestrial additions.
To top it off, once you earn enough in-game currency, you can spend it at various clothing and accessories shops around the city to further customize your character.Īfter my giant green sumo wrestler resplendent with Mohawk spike was properly attired, I took her to venture around in the crazy city that is Steelport. Anything that you can think of doing to your character, you can do here the permutations and accessories that are available in the creation tool are virtually endless. I’ve played many a game with great creation tools but never one that had the level of depth and insanity that 'Saints Row IV' offers. After saving the world (I’m not going to tell you how) you are elected President, and then are immediately thrust into the game’s robust character creation tool. I’m not going to spoil the pre-title sequence, but it was so awesome and patriotic that I wanted to go get an American flag tattooed on my ass right afterwards. After three games what could possibly be the crowning achievement? By having the leader of the Saints be elected President of course. 'Saints Row' is the epic tale of a street gang and its rise to power.
Even though one needs no prior knowledge of the series to enjoy the game, the opening sequence of 'Saints Row IV' starts off assuming that most players have some background on the storyline that runs through the prior three titles.
