 Wow! It's so big! ;-) July 22, 2010
Fraught (Basingstoke, UK)
I'm still playing this game. I love it. I just simply loose myself wandering, driving and climbing.
I've done some of the missions and followed the story, it's really good fun, and the "Midnight Pack" gives the game it's more 'adult' content. The game opens with a naked women dancing on stage... just make sure the kids are out and the curtains closed when you start playing! Or you may have to explain yourself! LOL...
I love the free-roaming side... i've been playing the game for hours and still haven't even visited the Eiffel Tower yet!
If you like Grand Theft Auto IV and Assassin's Creed... this game is basically the same but set in 1940's Nazi Occupied Paris. Thumbs up from me! :-)
 Quite simply; terrible July 13, 2010

Got rid of this game on the day I bought it, that will surely tell you how poor it is. After playing a a variety of top third person sandbox style games in this generation, I can say with some experience that this one is terrible from the ground up. The graphics are obscenely awful, and apart from a few next-gen hallmarks, there's not a lot to separate this from something you'd have found on the PS2 a few years ago. The gameplay itself is of a similar nature; movement is clunky and not at all fluid. It's a real chore to move the eponymous Irishman from one place to another, whether by car or foot.
The shooting feels boring and uninteresting, and the climbing is no better. Both of these things are, of course, core elements of the game. The driving is plainly terrible. This game is bettered by so many others in it's genre, it's a wonder that they released in it's current state. There are several similar games that have been released before and after The Saboteur that are fathoms more deep, immersive and interesting to play. This one feels like a chore to play.
Do yourself a favour and don't bother with this one. It's not worth the Blu-Ray disc it's being stored on.
Time flies when you're having fun. July 2, 2010

I bought this because of the price and the positive reviews. Like many people have said this game is similar to GTA but because of its setting seems original. There just seems something satisfying about racing round occupied Paris, blowing up Nazi guard towers and taking down Zepplins. I spend more time completing the side missions than I do on the main mission. You'll be driving on your way to a mission, see a searchlight and you just have to stop and plant some dynamite. Then from the chaos you head to the rooftops to escape, see a tower thet just needs to be taken down and so on and so on.
Overall the gameplay is good, graphics and cut scenes are ok and you can happily while away a couple of hours having fun playing this game.
Good swansong for Pandemic June 20, 2010
It is a shame that EA short-sitedly closed Pandemic Studios, because this game maybe better than any other shows their creativity in all it's spendour and what they were capable of creating.
Set initially before the outbreak of World War II (some early mission) and during the German Occupation of France, "The Sabotoeur lets you take control of Sean Devlin, a hard drinking Irish racecar mechanic.
The Pros:
The game looks fantastic whether your playing in Black And White, or the "inspired" areas in Colour, despite a few graphical flaws the game still looks absolutely terrific and really sells this as being how occupied France may have looked.
I personally loved the gameplay again there were one or two minor flaws with controls, Ai and aiming but nothing too serious to really impact the general gameplay experience, or to stop you being able to enjoy playing.
The Cons:
The voice acting is at times slightly less than convincing especially the accents of the main characters in the game which sometimes dip from recognisable as French to Inspecter Clouseau French. This for me was a minor thing but understand why people could be offput by this.
Enemy AI is on occassional ridiculous, I can run a checkpoint and the chasing soldiers give up within a few hundred yards yet can scuff a car and be chased across Paris, and more often than not escaping is down more to AI incompetance than a requirement to outrun and outthink the enemy.
Overall I really enjoyed this game and would ask that you look past the negatives which have been highlighted in all the reviews and concentrate on the games positives as sure you too will find The Saboteur to be a pretty good game
best game i bought June 15, 2010
Eric-Cartman_No1 (Scotland)
i own quite a lot of thw top titles that have come out for the ps3( cod waw, cod mw2, metal gear solid, GTA iv and many more) but this is easily the best game i own. You will here many folk say it is a lot of fun and it that is the best way to sum it up its funny, entertaining and there is plenty of things to do with a lot of varied missions. To get your moneys worth though i recommend playing it on hard difficulity as it is as others says far too easy on normal difficulity. If your looking for a game thats not too hard and your looking to spend a good 20 hours plus on it and love every minute off it this is the one for you. Like i said best game i own.
