![Saints Row Standard - Xbox [Digital Code]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sBD9-Px4L._AC_UL140_SR140,140_.jpg)
This is fairly long so the overview is:
Pros:
Characters are funny and you can customize them fairly well.
The story is good, not amazing, but it is making fun of the old Saturday morning cartoons like GI Joe, so the corniness is to be expected.
Combat is easy to learn and do.
Characters heal automatically when they are on stand by
Each character has their own unique weapons and ways they play
Vehicle control is easy and there are not many races.
Cons:
Missions (even story missions) are very repetitive.
The world map is fairly small in comparison to Steelport from Saints Row 3 and 4.
Missions repeat, even in story missions. Even though there are about 12 different missions, they happen all the time.
Lack of flying vehicles is annoying. There's usually always a way up to a roof, but in open world games, i enjoy that freedom.
Car "battles" are also annoying. There are missions where you have to destroy a target vehicle. While not hard, there are no vehicles with weapons. You pretty much just ram into the other car until it explodes.
On to the review for this game though. I've been playing it since launch, maybe an hour or two a day. I've only gotten past the 2nd chapter of the main story. I've been taking my time. So far the characters are fun and have good personalities. Their back stories are, okay, you get a general back story at the beginning then as you progress more of their stories are unlocked. Not overly important to me, as their personalities make up for it. They all have their own gear and play styles. You start out with a single attribute for each character (shield breaker, armor breaker, hacker, etc) then as you level up to 10, they gain a second one. I do wish there were more attributes, i pretty much named off most of them, there's 6 total. They do all get 9 pieces of gear, separated into three groups, where you can equip one at a time for a total of three. You can augment them later in the game as you unlock more "Legion" items, but starting out you only have 1 and then you unlock more as you level up and complete missions. At the point in the game i am now, there are 10 playable characters. Each character is different in terms of how they play, as mentioned above, their uses are similar.
Combat is easy. Pretty much point and shoot. Each character has a shield and health bar. If a character is downed, you can revive them with the Mayhem symbol if an enemy drops it. Shield (even on hearty characters) drop a little too quickly at times, but those characters with weaker health and shields tend to have a faster reboot time. Your characters also heal automatically if they are swapped out, and there are health pick ups.
The game world is surprisingly small. I kept thinking more of it would appear but it never did. It might not necessarily be a bad thing for this game, but when you're used to open worlds like Just Cause, Assassins Creed, and GTA V, it's kind of odd to have such a small world. You can get from one end to the other in about 5 minutes (give or take). One of my biggest complaints about the game is the missions. There are about 12 different mission styles. Rescue a hostage, steal a vehicle, destroy a vehicle, take over an outpost, etc. May sound like a lot, but when your doing these things in story missions and throughout the game, it gets very repetitive. In fact I've taken over the same lair 3 times and i haven't even started the 3rd story mission yet.This could change later in the game, but i'm guessing not.
The other thing i don't like is the vehicle combat. I will say, vehicle control is easy and they keep the amount of races down (always bothered me that you had to race in the Saints Row games, and games like Crackdown and GTA. If i wanted to race i would buy Forza...) Vehicle combat consist of ramming the other car until it explodes. There are no combat vehicles and you can't shoot out of the car. There are also no aerial vehicles. The city isn't really big enough to justify it, but still, would be nice to use.
The story is good, it's not amazing, and there are better stories out there. However, they are really making fun of old Saturday morning cartoons, so the story telling style is appropriate and they really go all out on that. I find my self laughing a good bit, so that's always a good thing.
Overall it's a fun game and i'm glad i got it. The overview is below.

Offensively Mediocore -- I Genuinely Feel Ripped Off!
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2017
I have legitimately never felt so ripped off by game since I was kid during the NES era; remember getting to rent a game for the weekend and you take it home, turn it on, and within a few minutes you realize you picked a bad game. This was Agents of Mayhem, I felt as if I was scammed into getting a bad game, except this time it wasn't because of the misleading box art, I was straight up deceived into buying this game because if it's evanescent connection to saints row.This is literally the most boring open world game I've ever played; and I liked Mafia 3 (for the story)! What we get is a tiny nod to the self aware humor of SR. Gone the crazy and unique side missions and in they're place is a bunch follow the thing, find the thing, destory the thing style side quests. The game is also buggy, more than once I hit a progression bug and had to restart a mission because something wasn't loading in. I could hardly keep my eyes opened while playing this, and that's not some type of exaggeration, I literally had trouble staying awake everytime I tried to play.?I'm not going waste my time getting any more detailed than I already have, go read the worst review you can find and believe every word of it; question the journalist integrity of anyone who gives this game a passable score.gratodo revoew(don't really recall this ever happening with a game I bought--maybe games were returnable or maybe it was denial). Please do not support the desecration if the saints row license by supporting this pile of crap. I almost feel guilty about selling this game used to someone else; I want to forget the money and just smite this copy from the face of the Earth -- but then someone who would have bought a used copy might support tbuy a new copy instead (meaning more copies of the crap sold) and that would be a far worse outcome...I'm literally looking at a stack of about 40 games for this console generation and I can't pick a single one worse than this...
