Saints Row 2 isn't a GTA killer, but it's a GTA alternative. It's tough not to hate on the slightly lacking production values, but when you see the rest of the game it actually makes a bit more sense. The technical shortcomings are the only truly bad part of Saints Row 2, and, sadly for PC gamers, it pretty much kills their experience unless they can play with the bulk of the visual settings turned down or off. Not doing so ruins your gameplay experience. There's enough crazy-insane tomfoolery to keep a machete in the hands of even the most straight-laced citizens, you'll just need a super-com...

You play the same character from the first game who has awoken from a coma to find that your gang is gone, you best friend is going to death row for 257 murders, a corrupt corporation from the game Red Faction has taken over the government and three new gangs now roam the streets. You have your work cut out for you!

Has Saints Row gone too far? Many felt that Saints Row: The Third was a step too far already, but Saints Row IV takes your 'step too far' and raises you one giant leap, and then blasts you out of a cannon into the sun. There's no escaping that Saint's Row IV is completely insane, if somewhat derivative, but beneath all of its over-the-top components, there's a compulsive and incredibly entertaining open-world game that won't challenge your grey matter all that much.
