Sorry to rain on the nostalgia parade...

I bought it for less than a buck, so I dont regret it at all. It must have been a good gaming experience more than ten years ago for those who love it, but I dont feel this game has aged well gameplay wise, at all. But the thing that killed it for me is the atrocious historical context, which I thought it was going to be a plus, but it was complete madness. This game makes Indiana Jones movies and games look like rigorous documentaries. I have nothing against normal inaccuracies on games, but here we have ww2 started by a surprise invasion of France in the middle of a racing competition in the border ¡? that reached Paris with no french military resistance (they didnt surrendered, they didnt even put a fight), Forget about Polland, forget about Dunkirk, the Ardennes, forget any resemblance of a real ww2 context to the invasion of France. And from then on, the missions make no sense whatsoever, and you get into fist fights with nazis in the streets of Paris in plain sight of everyone to steal their clothes, and you climb buildings like spiderman. Worth the dollar I spend to try it, but wouldnt recomend it if not on a sale.

Great open-world game

This was one of the earlier open-world games, and it really delivered the goods. Having each section of the city get progressively brighter and more colorful as you slowly liberate it works great and is very satisfying. Like the Just Cause series, the map is loaded with tons of interactive "events", and while they do get repetitive, many of them force you to consider new strategic possibilities. In the early part of the game, targets are easy to sneak up to, and hiding places are always pretty close. In the later game, many of the targets you encounter require some planning to sneak into and set charges without being seen. That said, it's perhaps a little too easy to just ignore stealth entirely and go in guns blazing, destroy the target, then run away and hide. I certainly found the game much more interesting by challenging myself to finish eash area without being noticed. Here and there I found targets that I absolutely could not figure out how to sneak into, so it's good that a "louder" approach still works. Overall, it's a less polished open-world game than more recent Assassin's Creed games, but it's still quite appealing. The milieu is great, the recreation of Paris is great, and there are plenty of cool things to discover and collect along the way. Well worth your time!

Random Aggro destroys the game

I love the concept of the game. But the stealth in the game is so difficult, even on casual difficulty, that it destroyed the game for me. I'm walking down a street, with no weapon, alongside dozens of NPC's. I walk past a couple Germans, and they almost immediately start shooting. It's a shame. I think the game could be fun, but the detection is broken, IMO. Sure, if I'm sneaking or acting suspicious, or even running, I could see the Germans getting suspicious, but if I'm walking along just like all of the other citizens, it breaks the immersion that the Germans just suddenly start shooting at me while other civilians walk by the same spot unmolested.
