Have You Played… Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell?Not pure and good and right

Not pure and good and right

A topless and bearded Satan from Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell sitting on a large throne

Have You Played?is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time.Honestly, if you haven’t, that’s fair.Even though the series started off as a humdrum GTA clone, the OTTSaints Row: Gat Out Of Hellmight very well be the least interesting game with Johnny Gat and friends. I lovedSaints Row: The ThirdandSaints Row IV, so I remember being gutted about how unimaginative the missions felt in this standalone expansion. The series went from aStreets Of Rage homageanda boss fight with a text adventureto boring side activities masquerading as main questsNow, to be fair, there is some enjoyment to be had here if you have any attachment to the series, and in particularSaints RowIV. On top of superpowers that were in SRIV, Gat Out Of Hell allows you to magically sprout wings from your back and fly from one place to another. That’s alright, I suppose.I know Have You Playeds are generally meant to be celebrations of video games that the RPS team hold dear, or at least are worth playing, so this is where I tell you why – even after the above paragraphs – I have a soft spot in my heart for this one. Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell contains one of my favourite ever openings to any video game. Incredibly, they spoiled it in a pre-release trailer, but at least that means it’s easy for me to share it with you. Enjoy.Saints Row: Gat out of Hell - Musical [UK]Watch on YouTubeJust wonderful.If we ever do get a Saints Row: The Fifth, I hope it’ll be a full on musical from start to finish.
