Playing A Game Saints Row: The Third - Genkibowl VII PC

At first blush, Genkibowl VII appears to be the least interesting of Saints Row: The Third's big-ticket DLC trilogy (along with Gangstas in Space and The Trouble with Clones). But, like SR3 itself, Genkibowl is perfectly willing to sacrifice integrity and wit for the sake of pure, stupid fun. In this DLC pack you'll drive into pedestrians to please Professor Genki; you'll go through an amped-up version of the Prof's obstacle courses from the main game; and you'll play a destructive mini-game with a giant ball of yarn, blowing up rival mascots.

Beyond the DLC's snack-sized campaign, the obstacle course and yarn-ball events have standalone versions that can be done just for fun, plus extra vehicles and so on. But the content as a whole is pretty brief -- and yeah, doesn't have much thematic cohesion.

Not really worth $7, but as part of its three-pack - itself at a substantial discount - not a bad deal.

Better than: Red Faction: Guerrilla - Demons of the Badlands
Not as good as: Red Faction: Armageddon - Path to War
So has Volition learned to make meaningful DLC yet?: nope!

Progress: Finished the 'story'
