Synopsis:

The leader of the Third Street Saints has risen to the most powerful position in the nation: the President. But if you thought being the Commander in Chief was tough, it's nothing compared to contend with an alien invasion. But utilizing new alien technology and amazing powers, the Saints will be transformed into one-man armies of total destruction - all thanks to alien granddaddy Zinyak's master plan.

With Great Power Comes Great Absurdity

When Saints Row was started by Volition and THQ, it was a relatively straight-forward open-world crime series in the vein of the Grand Theft Auto series. Gradually, more comedic elements were added, with wacky characters and costumes. When THQ when belly up, Deep Silver took over and gave us Saints Row IV - the culmination of this insanity, certainly the most fun entry, if a bit TOO over-the-top at times. It turns out this may have been just what people wanted as the more recently-released Saints Row, with all that removed in favor of a more realistic experienced, was decidedly mixed - so much so that the seemingly all-encompassing Embracer folded Volition into Gearbox. So we may never get another game that fully embraces its insanity quite like Saints Row IV.
