I'm now convinced the voice acting in Saints Row is the best since.I don't know, Psychonauts seems like a good one to go for. The comedy is a constant flow of dialogue between the leader of the Saints either flubbing his/her lines 'onset', the pitched commentary from the director screaming for creative control or, the funniest, the terrible "film" actually shooting according to script with the hammiest acting seen outside of Miss Piggy. I laughed more in the single hour of Gangstas in Space than I've done playing a game for a long, long time - even since playing Saints Row 3 itself. Of these two recent DLC, I'd say Gangstas in Space is the stronger, featuring as it does the leader of the Saints starring in a tacky sci-fi flick filmed on the very streets of Steelport, bystander bodycount from the Michael Bay pyrotechnics be damned. One of the main sources of humour is the constant deadpan of the leader, straightman/woman to the chaos surrounding him/her, and his/her laconic commentary was sadly missing from Genki Bowl.
But crucially, I'm not bored of any of that yet, and chief amongst the reasons why is the writing, which is constant and consistently hilarious. According to Steam I've put 31 hours into Saints Row so far, but I haven't regretted a single one yet - even, I'm keen to point out, the ones spent playing with the DLC.Īgain, it's nothing we haven't seen before: there are run and gun sections, driving while shooting at aircraft sections, hanging out of a helicopter shooting a rocket launcher sections and flying what's basically a reskinned VTOL sections. In fact when I was playing them, they appeared to be even shorter, barely lasting an hour each.Īll three mission packs will cost you £13 for essentially three hours of extra fun on the streets of Steelport, and when you think that double your money bought you a whole game's worth of excitement, it's hard not to feel short changed. A handful of events that could be dusted off in under two hours, complaints from fans that "it was too short" haven't appeared to have been heard by Volition, as Gangstas in Space and The Trouble With Clones both have similar playtime lengths. John's review of the first big Saints Row 3 DLC, Genki Bowl VII, noted that it wasn't really that big. It features purple superpowers.Įdit: As Maltose says in the comments, Saints Row 3 and all the DLC is currently 50% off on GamersGate. I've got some brief thoughts below about the way Volition are treating DLC, as well as the new Clones trailer.
When will people learn? The Trouble With Clones is the latest in Volition's short-form content packs for the silliest excuse to have fun there is, keeping with the scifi B-movie themeing following last month's groovy Gangstas in Space. Saints Row The Third's third DLC pack was just released, detailing the further exploits of the Third Street Saints, this time with the foul creations of unhinged Science.
