Saints Row IV: 10 Reasons It's Awesome

7. Weapons

Saints Row IV e One of the indisputably brilliant things about the Saints Row games in recent years has been the wacky weaponry, and that reaches its brilliant apex here, with a more demented array of crazy guns than ever before. The stand-out weapon without question has to be the Inflat-O-Ray, which blows enemies' heads into comically large shapes, before their eyeballs burst out of their sockets, and then the entire person's body explodes into a bloody mess. Then there's the Singularity gun, which allows you to open black holes which your enemies can be mercilessly hurled into. More so than the superpowers, these are extremely easy to get the hang of, and bring a game-changing level of creative insanity to the mix.
