    Gat Out of Hell is a very nice expansion which offers hours of gameplay. The humor we know from previous parts is there and much more. The graphics are a little disappointing, but despite that it's simply a must play.

    Gat Out of Hell comes up short in mission variety, but concludes in a tantalizing way: with five different endings. Could one of them point to the future of the series? Time will tell, but if this is indeed the last hurrah for this continuity of the 3rd Street Saints, it’s been a hell of a ride, Volition.

    Gat out of Hell gives you more stuff to do, and is mildly entertaining while it lasts, but it's not a patch on the core game it comes with. If thought of as the side course to the main dish, this is fine. Newcomers will find a lot to enjoy, but there's little reason to return if a dive into Hell is what you were looking forward to.

    If Saints Row‘s meta humor can get you through collecting your hundredth orb or doing the same type of mission on repeat, you may want to check out GOH. But, if not, I’d recommend staying away from this one, as it burns itself out a bit too quick.

    By tying humor and outrageous context to its moving parts, Saints Row The Third and Saints Row IV became viable systems in the modern open-world paradigm. Gat out of Hell (mostly) forgets all of this, sheds (mostly) all of its psychotic humor, and bolts on (mostly) dated mechanics.

    While its fun to see how absurd those distractions get that only makes it harder and harder to pretend you’re playing a real game, with consequences and genuine danger. Despite all that we’re curious to see what Violation will do for their first next gen-only sequel, but for now this second expansion is probably best left to burn.

    Hello fellow saints, and sinners it's time to talk about Hell. Well more or less the story of how Johnny Gat went to hell to fight the motherHello fellow saints, and sinners it's time to talk about Hell. Well more or less the story of how Johnny Gat went to hell to fight the mother **** Devil. That's right I am B-rod, and I am reviewing the latest DLC for Saints Row IV. This review will more or less be a bit quicker than normal, but that is because I will only focus on the DLC and nothing more. Without further ado let us dive into Hell, and see what happens.

    The story is traditional to Saints Row style with your created character The Boss gets sucked into Hell that forces Johnny Gat, and Kinzie jump in to go save them. While the game is titled Gat Out of Hell you can play the entire DLC as Kinzie. She has nothing different about her except for the little bit of dialog that changes. The game lies with one aspect; that is the fact they say it is a musical but there is only one scene where they sing and that's it. Not that it ruins the experience I am just pointing out they put that on the box. Story wise there isn't much too this DLC. There are few story based missions, and most of the cutscenes are stills with a voice over narrating them. Which I think is a shame one of my favorite parts of Saints Row are the cutscenes where they have this dialog that is funny, and nonsensical. The game is surprising with how it ends where you can make a choice that will drastically change where the Saints Row universe goes depending on what you choose. (not that it matters right now anyways) The story is semi interesting but for $20 I am expecting at least a longer experience than a couple of hours.

    The games sound takes a dive in this DLC for one simple reason. NO RADIO. When you spend all your time flying and jumping around why would you get in a car? I do understand you aren't in the simulation, so why would the music play? They could've just said they had headphones or something or anything honestly. The game ends up being pretty quiet because of that. Graphically speaking it is better than Saints Row IV was on the PS3 but not by much. These games have that cartoony look, but they are showing the age of their engine as of right now. Also Hell looks like a slightly different Steel Port, and I'm getting a little tired of being there.

    The gameplay comes down to a few new enemies, a couple new weapons, and a two new powers. The new weapons are awesome they are all based on the seven deadly sins, and the powers include flying and summoning. My biggest problem with this DLC is the fact that 90% of the missions you do are just events. There are no crazy hell missions or stupid funny things like chainsawing luchadores or killing furries. It literally is the events from Saints Row IV with some Hell mixed into them. The game is roughly four hours short and that is if you are taking your time. Honestly you can breeze through this thing pretty quick. Quick tip with this game; get the armchair weapon it is so useful it turns Satan and his armies into little duckies on a shooting carnival game.

    In the end this DLC is only worth it if you get the double pack that has Saints Row IV otherwise it seems like a waste of money to me. Believe me that is hard for me to say I am a rabid Saints Row fan, but this just wasn't what I was hoping for. I give this DLC a 2.5/5 it had a lot of disappointments. I leave with a question. What else can the Saints Row franchise do to push the envelope?

    Hay suficiente diversión mientras dura la aventura, pero todo tiene acabados bastante mediocres.
