Playing as an animal that grows and evolves through defeating enemies has always made for an interesting time, even back on the SNES with E.V.O. so the fact that this type of game hasn’t been seen much in recent years has come as something of a surprise. That is until Tripwire Interactive chose to go for the most visible threat that the ocean has to offer, a shark. With killer sharks being all the rage and always something that is exciting to see, be it in a B level horror movie or in a documentary, Maneater seems poised to capitalize on all of that. So is this a totally jawesome action RPG or just chum in the water?
Story
Simply placing players behind the controls of a man eating shark would be good enough for most but Maneater goes one step further by not only putting together a comedic storyline about vengeance but also framing it as a documentary about man watering sharks that is being broadcast on basic cable. The popular shark hunter Scaly Pete is the focal point of the reality show and his son, who is working with him over the summer off of college, are hunting creatures that prey upon the residents of the fictional Port Clovis and one such creature happens to be an adult bull shark. Despite the shark’s best efforts, it is captured and killed by Pete and has its baby pulled from its belly. Then, as any good first act of vengeance, the baby bull shark manages to take Pete’s hand as what will become its first bloody meal of many.
There is some overarching storyline involving Pete having to deal with a number of family issues, both past and present, but unfortunately these really don’t pan out as the game’s story does end up petering out past the halfway point and lacks a real punch at the end, though a final joke does play up this fact, but the real star here happens to be the host of the cable TV show and narrator of the game, voiced by Chris Parnell who will be familiar sounding to basically everyone but most quickly and recently known from Archer and Rick and Morty.
Parnell’s work as the narrator is a constant presence in the game as he will chime in regularly as the player advances through new locations or returns to older areas in the game, eats certain types of prey, picks up nutrient crate collectibles (which are the only repetitive lines), and tracks down the numerous landmarks that are scattered throughout the various coves of Port Clovis. While it may have worked well enough on its own merits, Maneater really shines thanks to just how well Parnell can portray the sarcastic and outrageous nature of the game and its witty writing, be it the numerous references to pop culture, of which they are shockingly all over the board so there is something for everyone, from the landmarks to the various fictional info and bits of trivia that are presented when attacking random humans, shark hunters, or even other predators, and of course when the player is in danger or happens to wind up dying.
Gameplay
Designed as a third person action RPG, players will quickly learn to control their shark in Maneater with ease as swimming around quickly becomes second nature and targeting prey is as easy as lining them up for a bite attack. The camera can be spun entirely around the player at any given time to keep an eye out for both prey to chow down on and predators to either avoid or hunt as well. One of the key elements about Maneater is primarily just how much of a blast it can be to play. While there may be some finicky combat motions at times, playing as a shark that devours its prey without a second glance, dodges out of the way of incoming attacks from both shark hunting humans armed with spear-guns and other predators, feels like a blast here. Launching out of the water to snag a fisher off of a boat or jumping across a beach-side golf course in an attempt to eat someone before the shark starts to suffocate gives a certain sense of chaos that few games can offer.
Any time that the shark consumes something not only does it restore a bit of health back but it also gains various nutrients that help it grow in size and level and can then be used to evolve certain aspects of itself. These nutrients also come from completing missions, gathering collectibles such as the aforementioned nutrient crates, landmarks, and also license plates that are generally placed in hard to reach locations.
Progression through Maneater starts with a nice pace as players begin as a small shark barely capable of eating a catfish and fearing running into an alligator or even a barracuda before growing in size and level to the point that these threats become nothing more than a quick meal while swimming towards a bigger threat. While an open world game mostly from the start, players will find that the ocean and bays in Maneater are broken down into certain sections that feature a range of creature types that reach up to a certain level, making sure that players know when they might be biting off a bit more than they can chew and while it is certainly possible to swim through most locations and unlock quick travel points at a quicker pace, some areas are gated behind player growth and even this growth is hindered by story progression up to a point.
Unfortunately it is about up to the halfway point where the player progression and growth begins to hit a sticking point and this is due to a few reasons. While initially fun, it quickly becomes apparent that there are only so many mission types available and while the narration provided after completion is enjoyable, they almost always involve simply eating a certain number of humans or type of wildlife before completion or occasionally destroying a boat. These missions are then repeated in every single area of the game and while the boss battles that are fought against the “Apex” creatures in each region can occasionally be a challenge, these moments come few and far between.
The other problem comes from the evolutions that players can take advantage of. As mentioned earlier; eating, completing missions, and finding collectibles provide nutrients that can be used to evolve and power up special mutations in the shark but not only are some of these mutations a bit overpowered at times, there are unfortunately a surprisingly small number available even when the entire game is completed. With only three main types of body evolutions, players will be a bit shocked at how little things can change. Organ evolutions that allow for things such as widers scan and faster recharge for the sonar, extra health and durability, or gaining more health from eating certain types of nutrients provide some extra customization but for the most part it is a bit lacking in the end.
Oddly enough players will need to watch out for a number of crashes that can happen while playing on the Xbox One as the game frequently crashes to the Home screen when either traveling back to a cave through fast travel or respawning from a death.
Visuals & Audio
Being set beneath the waves makes for a rather unique perspective that Maneater takes full advantage of as the wide array of locales that the player will swim through range from murky bayou waters to polluted radioactive lakes to colorful waters deep in the ocean and further with sewer pipes and caves to navigate. Even above the water there are a number of sights to behold as Port Clovis has been designed with a variety of unique locations for every area making sure that players are presented with some gorgeously designed environments. The various things the shark can eat, ranging from catfish, groupers, hammerheads, and even orcas are designed to replicate their real-life counterparts though the human designs are a bit too generic and repetitive looking.
Thankfully the shark itself is animated amazingly and features all of the evolutionary options for the shark’s body not only have a unique look to them but even grow to look more sinister as they are upgraded. As mentioned before, Maneater’s story and most of its exploration is really carried by the performance of Chris Parnell as the game’s main narrator though there are a number of great voice actors who have also contributed to the game both in and outside of the story.
Overall
Placing players behind the fins of a maneating monster makes Maneater a bloody good time. Not only does the shark control nimbly enough as it grows in size and power it also can start to feel like an unstoppable beast that requires a small army to take down as the player tears through human and marine life alike. Unfortunately the mission structure in Port Clovis, as uniquely designed and littered with fun jokes and a great sense of humor, make for a quickly repetitive experience that is also lacking a bit in evolution choices.

Any time a sequel is developed fans of a franchise generally want to see it take things to the next level compared to the previous games and nowhere has this been more prevalent than with the Saints Row series. Originally starting as a fairly generic clone that many didn’t bat an eye at in 2006 the series kept getting bigger and more extravagant with every entry up to the point that the player literally had super powers and fought both space aliens and the demons of hell. Still, it has been five years since the most recent entry in the franchise and now Volition and Deep Silver are revisiting the game that helped bridge the gap between normalcy and lunacy that is Saints Row with Saints Row: The Third Remastered. Arriving nine years after its original release with a graphical upgrade and all DLC in tow, is this package worth picking up?
Story
Five years have passed since the 3rd Street Saints managed to claim full ownership of Stillwater and have since evolved far beyond being a simple gang and instead are now pop culture icons that have brands of clothing, a mass media following, awful tasting energy drinks, and even a movie being produced about the group’s less than legal exploits. While trying to show an actor how the 3rd Street Saints roll, the leaders of the gang hold a bank robbery only to find that they have bit off way more than they could chew this time around as the bank is not only fortified but heavily defended by a strangely dressed organization.
Despite the group’s best efforts, the head members of the Saints are captured by the Syndicate criminal empire and given the choice to either join them as lackey’s or die. Not one to give up without a fight, the boss manages to escape the situation only to find themselves transplanted to the city of Steelport with not a penny to their name and only a gang member’s ex-boyfriend’s place to crash at. With help from old allies from Steelport and a number of new faces that join their cause to take down the Syndicate, it is up to the 3rd Street Saints to once again take down a massive criminal empire and make another city fall under their control, even if it means eventually taking down a government force to do it.
Of course players will do this with their own custom created character that can be dressed to the nines in a full suit, or in anything from standard gangster wear to space princess costumes, fantasy outfits, and even zombie clothing as once again Saints Row: The Third Remastered shines at its brightest when it isn’t taking things seriously. This is partially due to how great many of the characters in the series are and the interactions they have with not only one another but with the player’s created character. The conversations the groups have feel rather organic in the context of the world and this has helped make a few of these characters remain mainstays in the minds of fans, even if they may need to be mentioned first to remind them.
The wacky and crass nature of the writing in the game allows for the story to go to extremely odd places at times and constantly keep players guessing as to what level the game could go to next. That being said, it is worth noting that those who are returning to the game will find that the story remains the same as before with players given a few choices here and there and while there is DLC included in this package as well, the extra story content in these packages serve more as a way to bridge the “unique” leap that the series takes between this entry and the fourth game in the series.
Gameplay
In many ways players will find that Saints Row: The Third Remastered plays the same as they may remember as the standard mechanics have not changed. What they will find is that they will almost immediately be given access to a wide array of DLC weapons that are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to zany weaponry and odd vehicles that possess special weapons to devastate enemies. These extra missions can also be played at any point should the player choose through the easy to use in-game cellphone that helps trigger most missions.
While traveling through the city of Steelport players will once again need to build their “reputation” to gain levels and strengthen their character with stat boosts purchased with money and also take part in a wide variety of missions. These missions range from standard ones assigned to the player by NPCs in an effort to advance the story to side-activities scattered around the map that make for an eclectic mix of hit and miss missions such as the ever enjoyable “Insurance Fraud” and mayhem modes and the lackluster guardian angel and escort missions.
The third person shooting mechanics remain fairly solid in nature, albeit a bit slow feeling as they were developed in 2011 especially when it comes to swapping weapons, while both driving and flying around are as simple as they have always been. The player’s actions will also adjust accordingly depending on whether or not the player is running, transforming nut-shot melee strikes into over-the-top wrestling moves and standard car-jacking into window bashing dropkicks, making sure that players always feel like they are on the move.
Similar to the stiffness that players will occasionally feel when it comes to the game’s shooting mechanics, the actual gameplay encounters with standard enemies also remain fairly generic in nature. The game continues to feature “notoriety” that will draw ever more powerful members of a gang or police to the player until they die or evade them but these foes all act about the same as one another outside of a few special enemy types that depend on the faction being fought at the time. This leads to general battles against enemy groups being fairly repetitive in nature and even the strange weapons that players can bring to the fight can only alleviate this repetition so much.
Visuals & Audio
Immediately upon beginning the game players will notice that there has been a lot of attention paid to make sure that the character models for at least the primary story characters in Saints Row: The Third Remastered have been revamped touched up to look the best they ever have in the series’ history as Sperasoft has done a great job making these characters look extremely impressive. The same can be said in regards to the vehicles and clothing options in the game, though the player customization remains the same as before it has also been touched up a bit to match the same style as the story models. Unfortunately the enemy models haven’t been given the same level of care, meaning that while they have been given a graphical improvement these enemy models still remain far too similar to one another as players gun down countless foes that all look the same.
It is nice to note that the city, while remaining a bit bland in places, has seen a graphical improvement as well with some nice looking areas that really benefit from the game’s newly designed lighting system that happens to look extremely gorgeous during night sequences and various visual effects that have been applied to make the city look impressive all while the player is dressed like a werewolf.
Fans will appreciate that the same stellar voice acting that was presented back in 2011 still holds strong today as the characters are all presented with their original voice work and continue to nail the theme of the game perfectly here even if it isn’t re-recorded and the soundtrack generally presented through the radio stations on the car while driving around though occasionally outside of vehicles as well, continues to feature a great collection of tracks regularly broken into with fun little updates about how the Saint’s exploits are changing the city.
Overall
It has been some time now since the 3rd Street Saints haven’t found themselves imbued with superpowers or fighting demons but this trip back to a time where the gang still had at least one foot on the ground is a great one as Saints Row: The Third Remastered continues to hold up even nine years after its original release through strong storytelling and the willingness to embrace a crude style of humor that is willing to push the envelope about as far as most games can these days. With a graphical upgrade to better match it up with current-gen platforms, this collection may not offer any real new content to longtime fans and some mechanics do feel a bit aged but this trip back to Steelport is one that any open world fan should give a second look.
