A Modern Two-Fisted Tale
I came across Pandemic via the Mercenaries series, and wished I could play the original Saboteur. So thank God it's back. The game itself is solid on all mechanics, from the fighting to the perks to the missions and their place in the game setting. The use of Paris and the surrounding countryside are the perfect place for such a sprawling game world, but to me that's all effectively tied together with the story. The game isn't trying to be exactly historically accurate, but goes with a rather Indiana Jones approach: Nazis are clear bad guys, you're a rough-and-tumble fighter with a hat and jacket, get to fighting. With femme fatales, a resistance filled with characters, and plenty of destruction to wreak, you're only bored if you limit yourself. It also doesn't take itself too seriously, which is a good indication that Pandemic's people knew their game was going to have some goofy moments and they wanted the player to join in. Some mechanics are clunky. The disguise mechanic does make sense with the Gestapo agents and generals but doesn't quite add when it comes to the common goons. The driving is a little loose and tricky, but it doesn't break the game. Overall, this is a game that fit with the generation it came from, and personally I consider it a close competitor to the Ubisoft titles and knows not to take itself seriously. Compared to Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed, the creative team knew they were making a fun time killer and threw in enough to make it enjoyable. Well worth the time and price, and certainly a good reason why more Pandemic titles should be considered for GOG.
