Have been playing this shit all night and its a fucking blast. I tried the first too saints row games & couldn't really get into them, but THIS shit is actually really fun. The sci-fi storyline & superpowers really make it stand out from all the GTA clones out there. The dialogue is hilarious and there's a ton of pop-culture & video game references everywhere. They even have skytop knockoffs in one of the clothing stores lol. But basically aliens take over the planet & your put into a matrix-like simulation, which is how you get your superpowers. If you've ever played Crackdown you'll have an idea for how the gameplay is, but there's a bit more to it. Of course you got your super sprint & super jump, but you eventually get shit like fire & freeze blasts, telekinesis, & other crazy shit that really fits the whole "over the top" gameplay. I say if you're even halfway interested you should at least rent it & try it out. Again, I DID NOT fuck with all the other saints row games but this shit is pretty damn fun to play. Don't sleep on it
