You play this for shits and giggles. I don't think this is a game you're meant to play seriously. It's cool they got the likenesses of bands like Queen and Blur, though.

But it's Rock Band. With Legos. And kinda worse customization and music choice. It also introduced the parent rating system in Rock Band that eventually got used for Rock Band 3. It has a lostprophets song in here, and that makes me REALLY uncomfortable, considering this is a CHILDREN'S GAME compared to the rest of the Rock Band series.

Other than that, nothing too noteworthy.

It's not a good game.

Controls feel off a bit, map layout is terrible, map design is awful with weird loading areas, looks visually awful compared to other games around the same time of this game's release and the humor doesn't always land (in fact, it misses more than it hits).

So why do I like it? Because it has a very fun and insane world that let's you use wild problem solving in order to get results and it's a lot of fun to have such an insane amount of freedom on how you approach each day.

I went in thinking it was a weird direction of the series, especially since it's rooted in beat em ups and how is that gonna effect certain beats of the story. Turns out, this is the most fun I've had playing a Yakuza game. Story is gripping and made me feel a wild amount of emotions and content is loaded to the brim with so many fun and interesting trinkets across the game's world.

Even though combat can use some work, it feels dynamic and right direction to go to keep the faith of the series in tact.

I can't call it the best RPG game, since I have baby taste in that department, but I can say it's my favorite one.

I can honest to god say, that out of all the missions I've played in the main story, only 9 were fun. Everything else in the story is pretty tame and boring. And outside of missions, the world is so bland, that exploring the free world is kind of a chore. The wingsuit is fun to traverse the game and the map is very beautiful but there's not much in the world to do or see, even. Only a few interiors and maybe some landmarks but nothing worth your time.

As a Saints Row game? It obviously isn't that great. But as a standalone, independent of the series game? It's boring and that's the biggest sin the game has.

Really good Rock Band. A personal favorite because this is the one I extensively played in conventions and other places. I think the setlist is MUCH weaker than 2, hell even compared to 1. But I guess it's to make more space for the piano, which I never played on (despite knowing how to play a piano).

Career mode took a massive hit and is now road challenges, that aren't as fun, because most just end up being "random songs that fit a certain stipulation", "choose songs that fit a certain stipulation" or "here's a few songs that aren't that fun to play on the instrument you're playing" and then you have to play the song but now there's a bonus if you activate Overdrive, or staying in the spotlight (keeping your multiplier at 4x) and it feels weird.

But it's still a solid game and you can't go wrong with this.
