Could we ever see a Disney Musical of Video Games? Give it a try Volition, what could it hurt.
SAINTS ROW GAT OUT OF HELL MUSICAL FULL
The game is very Saint Row still in its wackiness with its writing and an out of nowhere musical number that led me to wonder if a full game could actually pull off being a musical during. Yes, it’s storyline is light but at $20 we weren’t going to get a fully fledged game either. It is possible to finish the game before completing all the side quests and loyalty missions as I ended up not getting to certain characters from a recent Saints Row title. This increases a progress bar called Satan’s Wrath and when certain milestones are met, a cutscene will be triggered that will progress the game along. Unlike other Saints Row games, there are no traditional missions, Gat out of Hell uses the side quest and loyalty progression from Saints Row IV to complete diversions and cause chaos. It’s now up to Johnny and Kinzie to stop him. The boss gets sucked into a portal where Satan is hatching a plan to marry off his daughter, Jezebel, to the boss. Told through storybook pages and narrated by a woman you meet at the very end of Saints Row IV, you find yourselves back on the Saints ship celebrating, Kinzie’s birthday when a game of Ouija goes awry. There are only a couple cutscenes paving the way through the story focusing on OG crazy man Johnny Gat and fairly new to the series Kinzie Kinsington. Volition has written up a very light story for a $20 stand alone title, or bonus in the Re-Elected edition. Looking ahead, Volition will need to give the Saints crazier, even more insane moments if they continue on this path but Gat out of Hell, it’s fun and slightly different but doesn’t go far enough.
What was once all about big ass chains is now about becoming your very own superhero. What began as a more gangster focused GTA clone, found its niche being the crazy and somewhat funny open world game it is today. If you played Saints Row IV you know just how crazy the story of the Third Street Saints concluded.
