The Saboteur™

This game is so good. Released in 2009, you'd think it was released later, because it has some really great features that seem like they should belong to only newer games. I was first of all surprised with how good the parkour is. People aren't joking when they say it's kind of like Assassins creed. Sprinting + jumping is also really good. It does a good job of making you feel like part of the resistance, in my opinion. Because the characters got humor, the artwork is there when you buy items, there's plenty options in terms of how to attack a target, a good deal of the surroundings are destructible and so forth. This is really worth it. Especially if you played games yourself from this period or earlier, like Mercenaries or GTA. Shooting and fighting is fun and personally I like the fact you can not only go stealth, but you can take disguises too. It reminds me of Commandos. It's true what others said about some cracking one-liners haha. Sure, there's too much cliché in some dialogue, like when they say "so I hope you can help me, uhm... Take care of business." Like that kind of stuff. But regardless, this is a fun little game. I say little, but the map seems huge. If this game were released in recent years, I think it would be really popular. I can sooooo see a sequel. You can also play in Full HD I just found, if you go to More>Settings, instead of clicking Play. But that's not all ! You also progress with your skills, since you earn perks for doing different things. This adds an additional thing to look forward. Such as if you kill XYZ Nazis in a certain way, you may unlock new ways to kill them in hand to hand combat. That's great.

Quite surprised how rare and hidden-gem this game could be. Really like its graphics with weird color and background story, but for a PC Port, there are not enough video settings for customizations. If you really want it, get it on sale on GOG but not on Origin.

It feels a lot like GTA set in Nazi-occupied Paris: A mediocre shooter, a mediocre racing game, and a mediocre stealth game stitched together, with plenty of clunkiness and baffling AI and a nifty gimmick where districts are either in grey and red or full color depending on how much influence the Nazis still have in that sector. If that sounds like fun to you, then go nuts. If not, it's still fun, but it can wear out its welcome depending on how long you can be amused by jumping around the rooftops of Paris blowing up Nazi towers.

This game is just plain fun. Killing Nazis, blowing stuff up, car collecting/racing. The setting in occupied Paris/France is really amazing, even if the layout has huge liberties taken with the actual geography. The stealth aspect of the game is highly additive, as Sean (the main character) frequently has to sneak into heavily occupied areas to get to his targets. The perk tables are a lot of fun to work on and achieve (e.g. run over a certain number of Nazis with your car, shoot two Nazis at a time). Collecting vehicles was a great distraction, as was the car racing. It was extremely fun at times just to engage in sheer mayhem - get on top of a building, and snipe the hell out of the Nazis until they sent aircraft after you. The missions were interesting and fun (and sometimes quite challenging). Normally I am pretty inclined to point out shortcomings of games, but this one really doesn't have any significant ones. There were no significant bugs in the game that I noted - only a few quirky points in the game (the occasional enemy floating in midair, the water turning to bright white light near the Zeppelin launch pad). Escaping the alarms were sometimes annoying, as the alarm would not end even as you ran away halfway across France. But it was about a clean of a game as I've ever seen in terms of bugs. If you're thinking about this game, definitely give it a try. It is a badly underrated gem!

fun game... had huge potential with unique setup but ea I'm native german speaker and the supposed germans are horrible and funny
