Start with a bang, then go from there. That's the best way to describe it. The first mission shows exactly what you're in for with this game, involving a bank heist while disguised as, well, yourself. Subtle. Move on to jumping out of a plane, falling through the wreckage while shooting bad guys to catch your homie, dropping them, then (um, skydiving?) through the same plane before finally touching down in Steelport, your new hometown.
From shooting mascots during Genki to beating gang members to death with a giant purple...marital aid...this game is everything you'd expect from Saints Row, and then a bit more. The vehicle customization is back and better than ever, the gangs more ridiculous and awesome as ever, and all the best activities and diversions (with one exception) returning, this game is literally all about a good time and then some. For pure, unadulterated fun, there's no better game out there.
This game is in my permanent collection, and for good reason. The visuals are solid, the gunplay has been improved, and the controls are tight. Simply put, this is the most fun I've had with a game in years, and you would be doing yourself a major discredit if you don't at least give this game a shot.
