20 Ridiculously Low Game Ratings You Won’t Believe

6. Saints Row IV: 76 (PS3)/81(X360)/86(PC)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71DxNPkTMXo Saints Row IV is the latest main entry into this quirky sandbox franchise. While previous games in the series hadn€™t ventured far from the run-and-gun criminal antics, Saints Row IV goes beyond SR III€™s craziness by taking the Saints to a virtual reality world created by hostile aliens. Based to some extent on a few of the later virtual reality missions in Saints Row III, you now have superpowers, which really cuts down on the time it usually takes to get around Steelport. To some degree, it does sort of make the vehicles slightly obsolete, but that€™s not really until you get all of the powers to max anyway at the end of the game. Adding on to the fun, the soundtrack is full of some classic yet campy music that can make some of the story segments border on being surreal. There's nothing better than flying around a city while listening to Stan Bush's "You Got The Touch"! Critics however claim that the game is recycled content and doesn€™t offer anything different from other games of it€™s type. To some extent there€™s a slight point about it being a recycled game, in that it was originally an expansion DLC pack for SRIII that was lengthened out to a full game. However, there has to be something said for it€™s superhero mechanics; whens the last time you got to play an open world game as the Flash or Superman? This is probably the closest you€™ll get to that for now.
