This game is overrated. I've played all the games in the series and I can confidentally say, this series is taking a dive into the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It's amazing how much a video game series can downgrade itself to this waste of imagination and keep going. I absolutely love the first 2 games in the series. Saints Row and Saints Row 2 are two of my all time favorite games. Saints Row the Third and Saints Row IV are nothing more than a stain of excrement on the bottom of a shoe, and I doubt anything can be said differently about the upcoming Saints Row: Gat out of Hell. I mean seriously. I'm not going to even buy that horrid excuse for a game, I refuse to humor the creators. The very name of the series is meaningless for petesake. If you need a more in dept explanation as to why I hate this game, your in luck, thats what I intend to give. Saints Row, one of my favorite games of all time. It was an amazing story that took place throughout a series of gang fights. The 3rd Street Saints had to take down the Vice Kings, Westside Rollerz, and Los Carnales. Each gang had it's own story arch and were all fun and unique, yet still had a dark atmosphere to remind you that this was the life of a ganster. When all of the gangs were destroyed, you had a few final confrontations with the police forces before the game ended, with you getting caught in an explosion. That must have been one of the most unexpected endings to a game at the time. A couple years later, the sequel came out, Saints Row 2, and damn was it good. It significantly improved on the original game's enviorment, the city of Stilwater. It expanded it, remoddled parts of it, and polished it to perfection, but still kept enough similarities to show that it was still the same city. This time, after waking up froma coma that befell upon your character from the explosion many years ago, the 3rd Street Saints fell apart without you leading them, which allowed oppurtunities for three new gangs to be created; The Brotherhood, The Ronin and the Sons of Samedi. After defeating them just like the gangs in the first game, the Saints prove that they are nothing to mess with and attract the attention of a quick growing coorporation known as Ultor. Ultor is responsible for much of the refurbishment of Stilwater, causing the poor to become homeless and wander the filth covered streets. At the end of the game, even Ultor falls to the GANG that had gone through so much in such a short time and the game ends with a majority of Stilwater labled as Saint's turf. These two games were epic. It had so many unique and personality-filled characters. Whether it felt rewarding to kill a rival gang leader to advance through the story arc, or felt sad and upsetting seeing your comrade die right next to you after a rival gang beaten them senseless and left them to die, anyone who played these games can remember the memorable characters that had been in the series we once loved. Now, look at the new games, Saints Row the Third gets rid of Stilwater in favor of the boring, unintresting town known as Steelport. It sucks. Stilwater had stadiums, and shopping malls, and warehouses, and factories, and churches, and universities. What does Steelport have? Didly squat. Hell, watching the random civilians in Saints Row or Saints Row 2 is more entertaining than playing Saints Row the Third or Saints Row IV. Saints Row the Third has very few new characters, and even those are killed off before any personality can be built. And what's worse? The memorable characters of the previous games that survive, are either never mentioned, or are changed tremendously for the worse. In the first few minutes of the game, 2 of the most memorable characters of the old games are killed off, one is literally killed off, while the other has gone through such a personality change that she wouldn't be recognizable if it wasn't for the fact that they tell you who it is. The change has no apparent reasoning or explantaion, it's just there to be accepted. Half of Saints Row the Third is just activities which used to be optional and were never nessecary to advance through the story. There's no gang's either. instead, say hello to the Syndicate, a coorporation of the Morningstar, the Deckers, and the Luchadores. Their no where near as exciting as the gangs from the previous Saints Row games. And then theirs STAG. A bunch of military-like soldiers that use Space Age equipment. This was a series about gangsters, why is their freaking laser guns involved?! Oh and why is it called "Saints Row" anymore if it takes place in an entirely different city? Let me remind everyone that the game was called "Saints Row" because the 3rd Street Saints started in a small church in a district known as Saints Row. Do I sound mad? Cause I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mad, and I haven't even gotten to the worst part yet, Saints Row IV. Saints Row IV, has you become the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ president. THE THEME SONG OF THE FIRST GAME LITERALLY SAID "♥♥♥♥ THE US"!!! For a series that started as gangs fighting on the streets, this game is downright insulting. Not only do you become the President of the United States, Earth is invaded by aliens! WHAT IN THE MOTHER ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WORLD OF ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ IS THIS ♥♥♥♥?!!?!?! Then you're sent to a simulation of Steelport, as if Steelport wasnt boring enough, now every single civilian is just a hologram and the game constantly reminds you that nothing you are doing is real. And then Earth just explodes. Great. Thats when I got fed up with this game and just stopped playing. It's not difficult, actually, it's extremely easy, if you play the first two games, they are really challenging, but I'd rather play a challenging game that I can fun with playing through the story, rather then trying to have fun in this load of scum. This series is now symbolized by purple dildos and dubstep guns, it's really depressing. I'd say I wish for a real Saints Row game again, but I don't think the series can recover from Saints Row IV, and even if they could, the creators wouldn't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about my oppinion, especially with the upcoming Saints Row: Gat out of Hell. They already have 2 DLC's announced for the mess of a game and it's not even out yet, that's another thing I have to talk about, DLC. The new games have an overwhelming amount of it. It's all worthless wastes of money. Don't buy any of it. I learned the hard way. In fact, don't buy the game at all. Don't buy Saints Row the Third. Don't buy Saints Row IV. And when it is released, dont buy Saints Row: Gat out of Hell. If you want to experience this series at it's greatest, go buy Saints Row 2 and if you have an Xbox, buy the original Saints Row as well, but don't buy this game or Saints Row the Third, you'll regret it. I hope this review was helpful. RIP Saints Row.

This game is... it's... it's too great to be described with mere adjectives! This game is absolutely with out a doubt one of the best games out there! It was indeed "Worth the Weight". It's art style is amazing because it is so unique and different from anything I've ever seen, this goes for both the characters, items, and enviorment. I find the game's visual appearence breathtaking. For the small amount of soundtracks this game consists of, they are amazing. This game is great because it seemingly never gets old, with dozens of different gamemodes, exciting new content updates, and its annual Scream Fortress, Smissmas, and other events. Yet, the best thing about the game (at least to me it is) is the nine classes that the game consists of. Each class is full of personality and dialogue, whether its insulting taunts or hillarious cathphrases. All of the classes are very different from each other with weapons, dialogue, attitude, style, and the way you play as them. First off you have your Offensive category, consisting of the Scout, Soldier, and Pyro. The Scout is a fast, smart-mouthed, "all bark and no bite" kind of kid with weapons that are most effective at close range, requiring a hit-and-run sort of tactic. The Soldier is a dedicated American with a strong passion to fight. Possessing a Rocket Launcher as his primary weapon, the soldier is a powerful threat to his opponents, but all that power leaves him with a slow speed, requiring him to use a maneuver known as the "Rocket Jump" to travel faster in exchange for some health. The Pyro is a mumbling lunatic, whose history is a mystery to just about everyone, he (or possibly she) wields a Flamethrower as his/her main weapon which makes him/her lack a lot of range, but gives a lot of potential power if used correctly. He/she is best used for ambushing enemies and his/her Compresion Blast (Airblast) can be used to reflect many projectiles back at opponents. Next is the Deffensive category, the Demoman, Heavy, and Engineer. The Demoman is a one-eyed, drunk Scottish man who has no bullet-based weapons and fights instead with 2 explosive weapons. He can take out enemies that he can't see with his Grenade Launcher or lay traps with his Sticky Launcher. The Heavy is a large, strong, Russian beast that uses his beloved Minigun. His immense power and large size leaves him with a very slow speed but with very strong fire power. He may be considered an easy target due to his size, but as long as he has his Minigun he should be treated as a threat just like all the other classes. The Engineer is a intelligent Texan that relies mainly on his buildings to fight. His Sentry Gun is generally a threat to any enemy within it's range, he can build a Dispenser to heal him and his teammates as well as refill there ammo, and he can also build teleporters so his team can access areas faster. The last category is the Supportive classes, consisting of the Medic, Sniper, and Spy. The Medic is a German doctor with amazing medical technology at his disposal. He is not one known for attacking but instead he is known for healing. Using his Medi-gun, he can quickly heal his teammates. Once charged enough, he can deploy what is known as an "Ubercharge", making him and whoever he is healing temporarily invincible to any damage from enemy weapons. The Sniper is an Austrailian outdoorsman who, as his name suggests, uses a Sniper Rifle as his main weapon. He can do extreme ammounts of damage at long range, making him a valueble teammate when used correctly. At short range though, he is more vulnerable and can easily be overwhelmed by enemies. Lastly, we have the Spy, a French trickster who can disguise himself as his opponents and quietly sneak behind enemy lines. He can perform a "Backstab", resulting in an instant kill, use his Sapper to destroy enemy buildings such as Sentries, and use his Cloaking Device to become temporarily invisible to sneak around danger. Playing as a Spy requires stealth and smarts to succeed. The best thing about all these characters is the fact that, other than the Heavy being the games main Icon, none of the classes seem to be better than the rest. They all have their own special weaknesses and none of them are generally favored over the others. The game is a masterpiece and that's all I can say.

I love this game to death. It is definitly one of my favorite games, if not #1. When I first got my desktop the only game I had was Minecraft. I played Minecraft for at least 3 years STRAIGHT (you may call me an addict). I learned about Terraria from watching my favorite Minecrafter play it, I think he had it before release and was helping to promote it. After a while I finally got Steam and bought Terraria. I was instantly in love, I played it nonstop, I prefer it over Minecraft by far. For those who think Terraria is nothing but a rip-off of Minecraft, I can assure you that it is not. Terraria is a side scroller whereas Minecraft is 3D. Terraria has A LOT more monsters and items and weapons and so much that it doesnt do it's justice unless you take a look for yourself. Minecraft tends to require tons of different mods to keep entertaining the player, but in Terraria all one could ever want is in the game already. No offense to Minecraft, it is still a great game, I just prefer Terraria. Terraria even has a handful of unique bosses and enemies to fight, which I believe to be where some of the most entertaining aspects of any game is found. When I play games, something I look into particular is the music, which Terraria's scores a rating of 10+ from me. My one complaint I have for Terraria is this: PLEASE make the Rod of Discord just a tad bit easier to obtain! I have spent over 3 days in the underground Hallow trying to get the thing for my friend and I have yet to succeed, I've got 1000+ Souls of Light, 3+ Marrows, 2 Hallow Key Molds, Quivers, Armor Polish, etc. (lol) I'm not even sure it's still worth it due to the recent nerfing of it. Otherwise, the game is amazing and I hope it continues to flourish.
