Achtung Irelander!!! June 5, 2010
wabbit53 (leicester. england)
A good game now being sold at a value for money price .In this game you play an Irishman drawn into the ranks of the French Resistance during the 2nd World War .The game is set in Paris and the surrounding countryside. The graphics are good as is the gameplay.At the begining you are given the oppurtunity to play the game through what can only be described as an "ADULT" perspective. This means the strippers and dancers in the paris nightclub you use as a base and refuge are realistically portrayed.Causing i should imagine some hot under the collar reactions from teenage lads whom i imagine this game is targetted at.That said i was impressed with the rendition of Paris and im led to believe that once the story mode is completed the game opens up to a freeroaming experience akin to Grand Theft Auto whereby you can simply choose missions as and where you lke.As im still in the story mode dont take that as gospel but if that is true i am looking forward to cruising round Paris looking for those nasty Nazis.Oh i should mention that at the begining the city of Paris is portrayed in dark and sombre shades but as you progress and liberate more and more of the city it becomes more pleasant and colourful. A nice touch.

I was looking forward to getting into this game, as I generally prefer 'covert' style games where stealth, cunning and ingenuity play more of a part than solid action.
Whilst those strategic components are very much part of the game, I feel they are hampered by poor controls and gameplay. For example, German guards will open fire on you if they see you within a compound, but think nothing of walking past their commrades lying on the floor with snapped necks and no clothes. They think nothing of you walking around on roofs right next to their camp, but climb a wall or crouch and they'll open fire. I spent hours trying to steal a limousine without "spoiling it's good looks" (as your character suggests) but found the only way I could steal it was by ramming the car through metal gates whilst taking heavy machine gun fire on all sides! It just doesn't seem particularly realistic.
The controls themselves didn't feel inuitive either, and I often found myself lobbing granades instead of taking cover. This in turn would raise the alarm, and as I found no immediate way to restart the mission, I had to wait the 30 seconds it took for an entire German patrol with machine guns to kill me so I could try again.
The controls for driving cars, which seems to be a large part of the game, feel unresponsive and sluggish, and it seems perfectly acceptable for you character (who is helping liberate the French from their German occupiers) to wrench drivers out of their seats and steal their cars.
I wanted to like the game, as there are some excellent aspects to it - the graphics are nice, characters movements are good (especially walloping over the back of heads!), the women are scantily clad, there is a lot of free play, the plot & story seem decent enough.
I'll give it another go, but I suspect this one's for trade-in.

Have you ever seen anyone in a game of this era who jumps like Sean!! Graphics shoddy, Gameplay shoddy, and story terrible. Who was the writer.
 Well Done Pandemic April 28, 2010

You know what, I love this game, It practically came out of nowhere, from Pandemic who also created the Mercenaries series and it's a fitting swansong as EA have, in their infinite wisdom, closed them down. I won't go into depth as others have already covered that but I will say this, If you like the idea of GTA4 in Nazi occupied Paris whereby your task is to bring down the German army practically singlehandedly, then this is your game. It's great fun and the amount of carnage you can cause is brilliant. Graphics are perfectly decent, sound is very good, atmosphere is also great and whilst some of the controls can be a little awkward on occasion, the game is so good you'll likely forgive them without thinking.
Yup, a bit of a suprise but a very pleasant one all the same. A decent 9/10 game only missing out on a higher score because Pandemic should of been allowed that extra bit of time to polish this gem.
Price as I write this is a snip over £20 delivered, a bargain !!
GREAT idea, GOOD game April 27, 2010

The premise of The Saboteur is excellent and the game manages to create really rather an oppressive atmosphere. The use of the black and white graphics really adds to the overall feel, as does the soundtrack and while the graphics aren't groundbreaking they are good. There is also great fun to be had and some geuninely funny lines in the script.
As a sandbox game it manages to keep you connected to the storyline reasonably well and the main character, Sean, is likeable despite the dodgy Irish accent. Whilst there is the storyline to follow there are also plenty of other things to get up to, mainly blowing stuff up, bumping off Krauts then escaping from The Hun when your stealth plans go belly up. Strangely it's all rather addictive.
On the downside the gameplay can be a little awkward particularily when climbing though also when driving. Not poor enough to make you throw the controller across the room but certainly irritating at times, such as when you're trying to escape the Nazi scum and you find yourself stuck half way up a building while a group of Bad Boy's are hammering your arse with their big guns.
Overall a great game and well worth the £
