It all hangs upon a very post-modern conceit that, in other hands, could have been horribly smug or indulgent. This isn't a particularly great expansion in mechanical terms, but the way it's presented papers over a lot of cracks. Which is probably for the best, as it turns out. Volition opts not to take the opportunity to discuss the vagaries of game development, and instead plays it for laughs. This, then, presents a shorter, alternative take on the Zin invasion, with the simulated Steelport in which the Saints are trapped taken over by a rogue AI program, the titular Dominatrix. In its nascent form, it was an expansion pack for Saints Row: The Third until THQ decided it merited a full-blown sequel. Enter the Dominatrix is potentially a fascinating case study in how games evolve.
