Let me start with this, this game is not, nor is it intended to now or ever, to be compared with GTAV. This game stands on it's own as a series and franchise. And here is what this game is, in my opinion. Stress Relief in an interactive form mixed with situations so over the top you will think you are living in an Internet Meme. It makes fun of everything from politics to itself as a creation. It mixes cliche moments with moments of greatness. It is a walking fart joke and youtube prank video. It is mature immaturity wrapped in a bacon deluxe carnage bun with a side of thick cut explosions, all washed down with cold refreshing middle finger to everybody. All of this, while still making the characters memorable, loveable, and laughable to each individual. Everything is over the top, but done in a way that channels the insanity into expectation, making it something that just "works." in this series. From designing your own characters genitalia, to seeing Genki show up at random and launch people from a cannon, to being attacked by a giant energy drink, to *SPOILER* disarming a NUKE mid flight, saving the nation, and taking over the Presidency less than 5 minutes into the game.
If you are looking for a stupid amount of fun, appreciate toilet humor on a scale that makes it humorous, and otherwise embracing what this game is and how it, kinda sadly, reflects the current generational social media fueled gamign culture, you will find an incredible value here. Not just in monetary worth on your hard money spent, but in water cooler moments with your friends, but in the knowledge that no matter how bad your day is, you can hop into Steelport and wash it all away. Great Game, Great Fun, 3rd Street Represent!

Packaging was well done. Inside one finds the game with numbered case, Gat statue, dubstep gun, and the big red button. Everything that needs it comes with batteries. Only gripe with this whole package is the case doesn't have an AC power option and only uses batteries. Would have rather had the option to plug it in and leave it on. I found stuffing the Johnny Gat statue into the case while the game is not in it provides it (and Johnny) a good use!The game itself is as fun as The Third, but with super powers. This of course removes any need to ever get into a car, plane, or helicopter outside the rare instance a mission forces you into it. You sort of end up ignoring the city as you'll likely be too busy hopping rooftops from place to place collecting the obvious items to further enhance your powers. Story turned out pretty decent for the scenario the game was working with, even if it did barrow from other material such as The Matrix, with a dash of the Transformers movie (the animated one from long ago), Conan The Barbarian/Destroyer and Predator. There's also a mission poke/nod to Metal Gear Solid.
I purchased the game for both the 360 and PC. The 360 version has some FPS drops which I noticed often. I've never seen FPS drops in console games before until now (perhaps my eyes are used to the constant 30~60 frame rates now) but it's nothing that hinders the game.
Best Deals for Saints Row IV - Game of the Generation Edition -Xbox 360
If you're looking for Grand Theft Auto, this isn't it. If you're looking for Crackdown, this isn't it. If you want a hybrid of GTA and Crackdown, you've come to the right place. Saints Row IV, in true Saints Row fashion, removes all filters, and is equally offensive to everyone on the planet; at the same time, being a blast to play by yourself, or with friends. This is by far the best and most polished iteration in the Saints Row series.From being President, to fighting off an Alien Invasion, this game is non-stop action, and is a ton of fun.
If you're a fan of previous Saints Row games, Crackdown, or GTA, then this game belongs in your gaming library.
