The fourth game I will be reviewing is Saints Row 4/re-elected (which is the rerelease on the Xbox one and PS4) and it's expansion packs (I did this game for the fourth review on purpose).














This is my second favourite Saints Row game series in the series while the second game is number one. The game is a parody of the GTA series because it's alot more goofy than GTA. The game takes place five years after Saints Row the third which you play as mob boss turn into the president of the United States of America and you get abducted by aliens (not the Xenomorphs) and put into a simulation of the last games city which is Steelport. The game is rated M by the ESRP because there are weapons (some of them are very inappropriate), swearing and lot more mature rating stuff. During the alien invasion your none important body guards try to kill the aliens and sometime when they die, one will say <<Tell my wife, I had another wife>> which I facepalmed and in the same level you have too shoot down some alien ships and at the very end they go and do a Space Invader reference by go in a formation and coming closer.  There are lots of reasons why I like this game like you can customize your weapons to look different which some of them reference other games, tv or movies like a skin for the sinper looks like it was made in MineCraft, another one is the phasers in its different color variations. One more thing about the weapons is one in particular is the Dubstep Gun which is beautiful because you can kill people using the power of music and while your firing the Dubstep Gun people and cars are dancing to the beat. Some of the activities in the game are fun like the ones where you have to cause mayhem with some weapons or vheicles like a army or alien tank or a UFO and the insurance fraud activity where you have to get hit by cars and get points. Not only do the weapons reference other things but the game does too like it's basically a huge Matrix reference. When you first try too escape Zinyak (the leader of the aliens which are called Zin) you're in a spacship and your character wich his name is The Boss (his named is not confirmed yet) says <<why don't we put on some music>> then Kinzie says <<we are in space, there are no radio waves this far out>>, she gets cut off by the song What is Love coming on. You have alot of powers at your disposal like freezing people, stomping them and creating a shockwave, super speed, gliding (not flying) and many more. One of the enemies is called exterminators which are a reference to the Terminator. During the game you have too save your friends from there own worst fear, my favourite is the a tie between Johnny Gat and Price. Johnny Gat's is a old school beat im up and Johnny goes through his lover getting killed (from the second game, long story) over and over again. Price's worse fear is his merchandise turning against him in the form of a giant Saints Flow can named Paul. Before the final level you have to take down the simulation, one the things you bring back is Paul and he gives you a thumbs up. At the end of the game where you are about to face the final boss, the song You got the touch by Stan Bush is playing and Zinyak is saying you won't beat him and your character reply is <<One shall stand and one shall fall>> which is a quote from Optimus Prime from Transformers (If you didn't know).  Now what I hate about the main game. First off, there are alot of boring side missions like hacking stores which by the way they get harder everytime and I needed to find how to do it on Youtube. Second off, the vheicles mostly the cars feel useless because you have super speed and can glide across the city. Thirdly the Data clusters which there is about 1255 of them around Steelport and when there's just 100 of them without the collectible finder is quite difficult and annoying. Final reason is that your health recovers slower than the other games in the series. Now for the first expansion pack which is the Christmas theme where you save Santa from Claws (get it) which is his evil counterpart who wants Christmas to be forgotten. What I like about the first expansion pack is that they added in new weapons, vheicles and skins for both like the BB gun which I like so much, a robotic sleigh and reindeer. The new skins are for the Dubstep with Christmas themed Dubstep and a North Pole pole for the Baseball bat. The Final reason is that near the end of the expansion, you have too get in too Santa's workshop and there's a barrier made of a candy cane and you can lick it. While licking the barrier, there is some text that at first is encouraging you to finish it then it starts to say to give up and the final things are you like the sound don't you. When you finish it off you find out the door is locked that took you 15 minutes (30 if you did it on next gen) but you get an achievement which is why I did it. Now why I hate this expansion pack is that it's an hour long and I like if it were two hours not one. The final reason is that its kinda hard. The second expansion is called enter the something inappropriate-matrix (you can look up the real name yourself and don't put in the comments). What I liked about the second expansion is that it was fun too play though it like the last expansion. My  friend Paul the huge Saints Flow can returns and you have too destroy him from the inside. The level when you go through Paul is like the one where you escape Zinyak's huge ship for the first time. Now what I hate about the second expansion pack is when you're flying through Paul like what I said about two lines ago but without the song What is Love playing and you have to kill Paul. Now for a piece of DLC (downloadable content) that has no story just a new costume, a gun and a jet that I like which the theme of the pack is America. I like both the gun which is called Murica (that's how it is really called) and the jet called the Screaming Eagle which is the shape of an eagle that when hovering it flaps its wings. Now for the final expansion pack is called Gat out of Hell where Johnny Gat and Kenzie help The Boss to not get married by the daughter of the devil called Jezebel. What I like about the final expansion is that you have basically the same kinda powers except a bit different like its not ice, it is turn people to stone. You see Dane Vogel the main antagonist (kinda) from the second Saints Row which I like I said (or written) at the beginning is my favourite in the series. There is a weapon for each Deadly Sin, Uriels Edge which is a sword to represent envy, Gallows Dodger which is a pistol that represents pride (it also talks which I like when my weapon talks) Last Supper which is represents gluttony, Diamond Sting is the weapon that represents greed and when you kill someone with it makes alot more money than any other weapon, Boom Chicka which is a shotgun which represents lust, the Ark of the Covenant which is the weapon that represents wrath and my favourite one is the weapon that represents sloth which is the Armchair-a-geddon which is just a recliner chair with dual machine guns and can fire rockets (this, Murica and the Dubstep gun are all tied for my favourite weapon in the entire game and series). The last reason why I like this expansion is the musical number because your in Hell and even the devil sings along which I find funny and ridiculous. This expansion was easier to complete than the main game. Now for the two reasons for what made the expansion not perfect. First off, you can't put the sin weapons over to the main game and the insurance fraud side missions suck compared  to the ones in the main game because you can't go flying half way across the map. If I would rate everything, I would give it an 8.1. The trailer is too inappropriate so you guys and girls (or other) can look it up yourselves.
