14 DAY TRIAL // Saints Row 4 is the biggest hit of the fall launch season so far, managing to keep the United Kingdom number one position for a fourth full week after launch, this time fending off a Disney-powered challenge from Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5.
The game developed by Volition and published by Deep Silver is also getting access to a new GATV downloadable content pack this week, designed to make the game competitive against GTA V, the new open world title from Rockstar.
Second place in the United Kingdom chart is Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5, quite a surprise given the fact that this is just a remake of a classic mash-up between JRPG mechanics and Disney characters.
Diablo 3, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, manages to keep its third place for the week that ended on September 14, according to data from UKIE.
At the same time, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist is in fourth place, showing that the most recent Sam Fisher adventure can mix stealth and action very well.
Much of the rest of the top ten in the United Kingdom is unchanged from the previous seven-day period, with Disney Infinity, the title that uses real-world figurines in the virtual world, Minecraft for the Xbox 360 and PayDay 2 from Overkill Games all staying in the same positions.
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes from Warner Bros. makes a return to the top ten and lands in eight place, followed by another game powered by bricks, LEGO The Lord of the Rings.
Total War: Rome II, the strategy title from publisher SEGA and developer The Creative Assembly, closes down the United Kingdom top ten.
The chart should see a major shake-up during the current week as many players rush to get access to GTA V, the Los Santos based adventure starring three main characters.
