I feel like whoever decided to give you super powers at the start of the game was watching over their shoulder the entire time Saints Row was in development. Once you have powers cars became useless and dash melee insta kills rule the game. I don't know who the car designer or combat director was but they had to be out for blood after that decision went through.
"Hear me out, they get super powers at the start of the game and cars and guns become useless about 10 minutes into the experience."
It's a fun distraction to blow off some steam when doing nothing else. As a fan of Tekken 1-3 and dropping off with 4-6 it feels okay. If you play with no enhancements that is, I like the removal of bound and the game playing more like Tekken prior to 6 and TTT2. I just get in 5 games and go on about my day afterwords, pretty solid.
