Does anyone know of any similar games like Saboteur? Granted, there are many things about this game I like. I even enjoyed that awkward climbing, somewhat jerky platforming (I would have preferred a way for Devlin not to grab every ledge he could), the noir atmosphere, music, the different cars (I don't even like cars!), the story, the characters but most of all....

DYNAMITE!!!!

I want to blow up more stuff essentially as the main aspect of a game.

Get Red Faction Guerrilla its basically The Saboteur on Mars, but you can blow up every building basically. You will love it the environmments are way more destructive and its also free roam like The Saboteur.

Unfortunately I've already played it and Armageddon. :(
I've played all games mentioned in this thread and I, too, would welcome some new ideas.

RF: Guerrilla was a huge disappointment. Sure, the destructible buildings were nice, but the game feels completely unfinished. Some of the missions are more annoying than fun; especially the last one. I did not like the constant enemy respawning either.

RF: Armageddon was OK, but it did crash a lot and I needed a third party FOV fix, because I got motion sick all the time. I feel that this one doesn't really fit, because it isn't an open word game.

The Saboteur and Saints Row (3, 4 and Gat out of Hell) are great, all of them are really silly and a lot of fun, but all have minor problems. The Saboteur has the annoying climbing animations that trigger at the most inappropriate moments. Saints Row 3 forces you to invest in some of the upgrades, because the last mission is almost impossible without some of them. Some of the activities that are needed for 100% takeover are very annoying. Saints Row 4 and Gat out of Hell skip the bad activities, but the difficulty curve is messed up. They are both a bit too easy, because they give you very strong abilities very soon.

Just Cause 2 isn't too bad, but the enemy respawning is somewhat annoying, although better than Guerrilla. Sometimes it is very hard to find the last remaining destructible objective inside a base. It has some nice destructions, but the weapon balance could be better. Just Cause 3 has Denuvo and bad reviews.
Just Cause 2 is too large for its own good but I enjoyed a few hours out of it. Saints Row games are surprisingly fun but not really what I was looking for. Essentially an action-adventure game where your main tool is an explosive.

You might want to give the Sniper Elite series a go. Like the Saboteur you can sneak up on Nazis and snap necks, shoot them to pieces from afar or up close, and lay charges and explosives. They differ in that you don't use vehicles, there are no civilians, the protagonist/story is pretty boring but there's multiplayer. Rock solid game mechanics honed over the course of the series, too.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Death to Spies yet.
It sounds pretty much like exactly this game, in fact, I came here to see if there was a thread about comparing the two (apparently, there isn't).
There's really not a lot of blowing up stuff going on, but you do have hand grenades, at least. (There's chloroform, though, and all kinds of other nifty little things ;) ).

I can't drive worth a darn and flying is the death of me (that's why I can't finish CRYSIS). But driving those cars.....the music is great., not my time, but classics!
