Saints Row IV has a lot to experience, almost too much overall. The change between foot and vehicle missions is abrupt and adding in superpowers and controlling alien spacecraft, it can get confusing. With its variety of missions and challenges, the controls aren't as intuitive as they should be. Saints Row IV's sandbox world is a bit too open for players who like structure to their gameplay. The balance of the superpowers in the game isn't perfect because even when you are powered up, enemies can still be a challenge to defeat. You gain these on missions and level them up to make you almost invincible.

You can learn telekinesis, super jumps, super sprint, and others. It feels like Volition crammed too much into a single game. There's a lot to unlock with the numerous side quests and collectibles. With the massive amount of missions and challenges, Saints Row IV can feel overwhelming. There are so many new objectives being presented that it never gets boring. "Anything goes" is a trend as you earn superpowers, play with crazy weapons like the Dubstep gun to make people dance, and illogical missions with game show themes. It's by using the ideas from The Matrix that allows the sandbox game to expand into a world without rules. It's not a big problem because if you know the series, it's part of the hilarious plot. Obviously Saints Row IV liberally "borrows" from The Matrix. The Zin turn humans into slaves, where their minds "live" in an unreal universe, controlled through a computer program. Shortly after the election, aliens attack Earth and the Zin change the rules of the game. This all happens in an over-the-top way, which is something expected of the series. The first mission triggers the a "choice" to become the President of the United States of America. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and fight against a highly-trained military force by your lonesome in the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen.The game begins a few years after the end of Saints Row: The Third. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute.

The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobblehead dolls all available at a store near you. Remastered with enhanced graphics, Steelport the original city of sin, has never looked so good as it drowns in sex, drugs and guns. Saints Row®: The Third™ - Remastered gives you control of the Saints at the height of their power, and you live the life to show for it.
