The Rampage events are always a good time, and rolling a giant yarn ball to crush cars is pretty fun way to cause havoc. Yarngasm is probably the most fun of the bunch. They added sharks, and sort of a jungle theme, but it’s really pretty much the same activity as it was before. You’d think they could turn at least some of this off for the event, if they wanted to make it semi-challenging. It’s also an event that doesn’t scale well once you’ve got almost full invulnerability and infinite ammo. The Professor Genki reality show event never really caught my attention, and it’s just as boring here as it was in the original game.
PR Opportunity – a rework of the “Escort” event, but with more flamethrowers…. Skyblazing – similar to the Trailblazing event, but more score-based and taking place high in the air in a flying Panda suit. Yarngasm – think Tank Rampage, but with a giant yarn ball instead of a Tank. Apocalypse Genki – a (minor) variation of the old “Professor Genki” activity. GenkiBowl VII adds a set of side activities to the game that take existing SR3 activities and give them a “Genki” spin. The Season Pass comes with 3 major DLC packs, and I’ll tackle them one by one. I didn’t have the Season Pass previously, but a recent THQ sale on Xbox Live made it quite affordable. With the current lull in my gaming schedule, I thought it might be a good time to revisit and see what sorts of DLC had dropped for the game since I completed it. It’s crazy fun, especially in co-op, and the over-the-top weapons, missions, cars, and practically everything else made it awesome. Saints Row: The Third was easily among my favorite games of 2011.
