You know you're not playing a normal game when, within the first half-hour, you've saved the world from a nuclear apocalypse, cured cancer, blatantly stared at a press secretary's cleavage, and punched an alien in the face.
Did I mention you're also the President of the United States?
Welcome to
Saints Row IV, an open world game that sets you up in a virtual and customisable sandbox city called Steelport, then lets you create havoc with crazed missions, violent encounters, superfast car chases, stunning weaponry and hilarious one-liners.
If only it was as much fun as all that sounds. At its heart, Saints Row IV is a Grand Theft Auto wannabe, an ultra-violent action-shooter with a bonkers story about an alien invasion that has little of GTA's depth, style or sophistication.
The fourth edition in the controversial series (it was banned in Australia because of its depiction of alien anal-probe weaponry) moves the story on five years.
