Pandemic Studios invites you to experience the ultimate open-world action/adventure—as The Saboteur. Fight, climb, and race your way through a uniquely stylized version of Nazi-occupied France, and hunt down your sworn enemies who have taken everything from you. Enter the seedy underground world of a saboteur living in 1940s Paris, where the women are sexy, the missions are epic, and the revenge is satisfying. Play as Sean Devlin, a street-tough Irish racing mechanic seeking personal redemption in the first open-world action game set in Nazi-occupied Europe. Now, it's time for payback—with the help of the French Resistance, British intelligence, an arsenal of weaponry, and your own street smarts and brawn, you must exact revenge on those who aimed to destroy your life. Motivated by retribution and armed with tactics of sabotage, blow up zeppelins, derail trains, implode bridges, destroy armored tanks, and level enemy facilities in the name of vengeance.
Entirely to freaking LONG to hit platinum achievement. I finally gave up after about 70 hours of game play over a months time. (what can I say, I am a family man now and I can't play as long or as often as I used to be able to, that is why it took a month to hit 70 hours.) Maybe I will pick it up in a bargain bin later to hit platinum. Other than that, it is a good game. Not great, not stellar, but just good and very playable.
Think GTA meets WWII. Good premise, easy gameplay, challenging missions, (on harder levels) and good replay. Solid graphics, and interactions with AI, not to mention killing a crapload of Nazi pissants is a combo for a fun playing experience. Sean's dialogue is well timed, and hilarious. One of the few I've purchased after renting.
Yet another game that was passed over because of professional reviews. I REALLY enjoyed this game, had a blast playing it. Sean Devlin is now one of my all time favorite characters. If you enjoy open world games, do yourself a favor, and play this game!
The storyline is compelling enough. THe characters have strong reasons to do as they do, even if the voice acting is a little weak. The game loses the thread unfrotunately, with weak collision physics, and some very frustrating movement controls.
