Picked up this game and have been having some fun with it.
If you've never tried the game before, the gameplay is kind of a mix between GTA3 and Beatdown with an optional element of taking over properties/shops for the purpose of getting extra income. The theme revolves around street gangs and general thuggery but taken way, way, way over the top. It's been awhile since I played Saints Row 2 but I don't remember it being anywhere near as crazy as this one. Once you play through the intro, you'll know what I mean.
Character customization is really fun in this game. Again, think Beatdown with even more options and the fact that you can pick between more than few static character models. You can also customize your vehicles and your gang although to a lesser extent. The game is riddled with different mini games like in GTA that you can play for extra money but as far as I can tell for the most part, these are all optional except the first time you play them. The storyline is nothing amazing but the delivery is a lot fun and in the context of the game, I think the voice acting is very well done. As a bonus, I'm pretty sure the female voice was done by the same woman who did the voice for Rayne from Bloodrayne.
There isn't a whole lot of ryona in the game but more than I expected. There are female gang enemies and lots of female civilians running around that you can use as human shields and melee in various ways. There are these "brute" npc's that can start a QTE on you. Some of them are kinda grabby but these guys seem to only appear during storyline missions. The thing I'm really glad about? Friggin' voice work done for your character getting hit. So many games don't have this small bit and I was relieved that they had it in this game.
So I was trying to get some screenshots to show some parts of the game but it wasn't working right, so I'll just make a really sloppy video and update the post with it in a bit.
