Critics Consensus:Saints Row IV

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Saints Row!

Saints Row 3 was in a way THQ's swan song. After flop after flop such as Homefront and Udraw THQ had one last big release and that was Saints Row 3. The game became a classic for it's over-the-top-ness and sold amazingly well. Though that was not enough to save THQ.
Deep Silver ended up buying a lot of THQ's properties and Saints Row was in the mix. Just like THQ Deep Silver has gotten far out with insane marketing and advertising. This happened with Homefront too but fortunately this is not a bad sign as Saints Row 4 has a 83 on Metacritic. Some might complain that this venture was too ludicrous as you do become a super-powered president but the script,gameplay, and world are enough to keep bringing you in as Game Informer said.
Overall get this game.
Saints Row 4 is rated M.
