That’s combined with a sense of near-invulnerability. And those are just the first couple of powers you get. Super-leaping and gliding over the city (an alien-renovated version of the one used in SR3) is hugely liberating – there’s nowhere you can’t go on a whim, and dashing through the streets at amazing speeds feels like a glimpse of the Flash game I’ve always wanted. Play After that you’re trapped in a Matrix-like recreation of the open-world city of Steelport, and Saints Row IV effectively becomes an entirely different game through the introduction of those genuinely cool superpowers. It’s so absurd and liberally peppered with well-executed gags and references that it works. In the first hour our hilariously customizable Saints boss character pushes the increasingly over-the-top premise of an idolized street gang well past its limits in a quick series of linear levels: you single-handedly bring down a nuclear missile, become President of the United States, and battle an alien invasion led by a British-for-no-reason warlord. Developer Volition has made us living gods in an open-world city, and it's great for a while, but it renders much of what makes Saints Row The Third so much fun feeling pointless.In the beginning SR4 is very much the same parody-packed third-person action game. But the thing many comic book fans find a little boring about the Man of Steel is that if you’re basically a god, nothing can challenge you – and what’s a hero without a challenge to overcome? That same boredom eventually proves to be Saints Row IV’s kryptonite.

All things considered that's a fairly good problem to have, because it stems from awesome powers like being faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap over tall buildings in a single bound. Saints Row IV has the same problem as Superman.
