6-8 hours sounds a bit low on content for 20 euros. It sorta depends on how they factor in the open world stuff. Is it 6 hours for story missions and 2 hours to explore city and do all the sidequests?
The powers were a nice addition to Saints IV, it was a pity that everything else gameplay wise, gunplay, challenge, variety, activities it was even more shitter than SR 3
Many years later and still nothing in this genre has, and from the way things are going, nothing will ever beat GTA: Vice City in quality or GTA: San Andreas in quantity.
I tried replaying Vice City last year and dropped it almost immediately because I cannot readjust to a locked camera while driving. I did complete San Andreas but man oh man does it have a lot of annoying issues.
SR4 best game imho
What are you talking about? The games mimic themselves each sequel.Say what you want about Saints Row, at least they are not afraid to try out something new.

Yeah, I remember how I was killing demons and aliens in Saints Row 2. Good times.
So they reskin the shit you shoot at. Such innovation.Yeah, I remember how I was killing demons and aliens in Saints Row 2. Good times.

Actually the fourth part added super-powers which radically changed the game-play and third added character customization. The only game that is just a reskin is GooH which is marketed as a stand-alone expansion pack.
Customization was in SR1, but they really went all out with it in SR2. SR3 and 4 simply copied 2 in that respect. I agree the super powers mixed up the gameplay a bit, though not significantly (compare the combat of San Andreas to GTA IV, for example), but not in a good way imo. The customization of superpowers in SR4 was essentially just a CoD-style "loadout" system anyway.
You can quibble over little changes but the fact is this genre has been stale for several years now and saying 4 is noticeably different from 3 or 2 is stretching the truth. The same activities (cover the houses in shit, derp, hooker escort, insurance fraud/traffic physics) were identical in two and three. If you love more of the same, more power to you. Missions, activities, whatever, in all of these games play out much the same way. Why anyone anticipates this stuff is beyond me.
