If you liked 4 you'll like gat outta hell. The story has the same sense of humor we're used to and I can see why this game came out so fast. It's not a gigantic world and for the "on sale" price more than fair compared to buying a costume in a fighting game or another shark card for GTA online. It's not a very long game. Most of which is just side quests. Aside from upgrading the weapons you can 100% this game in 20 hours, there is hardly any story missions in this game either. How they constructed SR4 though they could have just put another simulation tube or something. But how insane and with very little logic SR4 had anything went and that was the charm.
As usual what made open world games like this fun. Missions? Sure they help but rampages. Now just like the worlds most over rated video game GTA5 the issue with both franchises your wanted level sky rockets WAY too quickly. Unlike GTA5 your wanted level will eventually go away if you kill what is called an arch duke. If you've got a fully upgraded say boom chika (pink shotgun that represents lust) you can take him out in 2-3 shots. Just like the bouncing rifle or the black hole gun you can get to see an arch duke in under a minute if you do it right.
Most of the guns you'll find get extremely useful with their added on powers. Some of which I would never have given a chance without the challenges absolutely. The cars no one cares about. The flight takes some time to get used to as you can fly up and down instead of this big glide your hero did in the game before so it gives different mini games and how they did the story as well in my opinion. Not sure why everyone asks for this big story like final fantasy 7 when one of the most useless characters in the game gets stabbed by the most over rated character or metal gear solid 5 when quiet wanders off into the desert. As usual you take over a part of the city but should do the missions as quickly as possible otherwise you'll do a lot of back tracking as you gain new powers or activities to do. I miss the old british voice I had in the games before as Johnny always sounds like he has food in his mouth but then again it would not be gat out of hell without johnny. The co-star is someone no one wanted.. Kinzie .. why is she there other than fan service. And a hilarious opening. I would even play as Shaundi ... then again I wouldn't.
After getting king of hell achievement (100% the game). I found myself spending WAY too much time getting all the weapons fully upgraded and the challenges do not hold you over as you'd think ok I'll kill 100 demons with this pistol and I'll have enough cash left over to buy a shotgun upgrade.. yeah... not going to happen. After killing professor Genki who is an absolute chore he gives you 2$ where as the arch duke who is like the warden bad guys in SR4 he pays you whatever and whenever he feels like. Sometimes you'll get a few hundred other times up to 10-20,000$. I was minutes from getting my last upgrade and he didn't pay 2 or 3 times. It makes you wonder how aware the developers are of this. I say the weapons cost too much to upgrade. After the first upgrade everything is practically 5000 , 10,000. I think after all the weapon challenges I was grinding for another 2 hours so get out your phone or whatever and blast your two or three favorite albums as mush mouth I mean johnny gats one liners have probably gotten old and no one picks Kinzie.
The collection items to get the powers luckily they are shared between the two characters. I'm surprised this game doesn't have a workshop option honestly... or cheats. It's a good game i'll play it twice. Don't let the third party developer know someone actually enjoyed the game enough to play it twice. I 100% the game twice how short it was.
Some tips to get more money kill civilians with a fully upgraded diamond stinger (bling gun style uzi) which you get a bit later in the game, go after dexter the husk with the purple hat on as much as possible with any other firearms he pays well. The arch duke pays the best but only when he feels like it. The club with shakespear a lot of people recommend is a chore unless you're playing on hardcore don't bother. It just keeps the cops from going in. The only way to really get money or do a lot of weapon challenges easier is simple. Get Professor Genki to appear and then fly to a floating island making sure he doesn't bother you. Eventually two of those floating wizards will appear and just keep shooting the imps until you get the challenges you're after. The only challenge Genki is really handy to have around is the grenade launcher with the frogs as Genki's life bar is stupidly high. It's quite easy to lose Genki too if you want to get the driving challenge as you'll be doing laps around empty roads.
Things i didnt like or ways to improve the fraud mission is unpredictable in this game, fun when you're trying to get a high score but the achievement is just sadistic to get where you've got to bounce on 5 cars.
As stated before your wanted level sky rockets wayy to quickly the epic flight quest challenge they could have been more clear the assassins creed homage achievement is too specific the arch duke should pay consistently not how quickly or whatever you can the car surf challenge is evil or dumb luck and I used to love the tony hawk games the 5 car bounce challenge without touching the ground is the worst challenge of the game the omega omega omega paddle (tri omega) weapon challenge could have been more clear weapon challenges should also count on husks (the other guys besides demons) there are too many weapons most of which you'll never use for more than 30 minutes the voice clips of johnny and kinzie should be able to collect by either customization is non-existent. This game came out fast and was cheap for a reason
all in all i don't understand why people are complaining get this on sale if you're a fan of 4. Which I think is the best in the series so far playing each twice mind you. If not go play grand theft auto and die tumbling down a hill or taking ONE shotgun blast to the chest go ahead.
