Forgotten jewel

Totally underrated jewel and one of my favoured games at the time. A combination of Grand theft aufto and Assassins Creed based in Nazi occupied france during the second world war. Gameplay maybe a notch less smooth than the competitors but with a unique graphics art. Starting in mostly black & white with few contrasted colours like red or yellow (Hello Sin City ;) ) the world gains friendly and bright colours, the more symbols of Nazi occupation the player destroys. (like Anti Air cannons, guard towers, oil tanks....). As I remember the game had quite a long story, based on Nazis, the Resistance and a personal quest for vengence. So I recommend this to game strongly to eveyone who likes GTA, Assassins Creed, the 40's. Also superb soundtrack (eg Nina Simone - Feeling good). Five stars. Only the price is a rip off with like 28$, but hey, what do you expect from Electronic Arts...

Great game, if a bit unpolished

What a great game - and what a great release for GOG.com! Which makes me a bit sad, because till that moment i always thought it is a good NEW game. Did it age? Did i? Saboteur is a very stylish take on a GTA-clone from Pandemic studios that borrows its atmosphere from old adventure movies like Kelly's heroes and Guns of Navarone - a setting that is unusual for its genre. It is also a great mixture of stealth mechanics seen in many other games and vehicular-based open world, and that makes it - along with Death to spies and Hidden&Dangerous series - a game of choice for those who want an action variant of Commandos. It has numerous flaws - car handling and physics could have been better, wall climbing requires too much Space mashing, and graphics in the well-lit liberated areas of Paris just look considerably worse that noir-influenced palette of the ones that are controlled by Nazis, and some useful perks in the game require too much busywork. But cracking the tactical and stealth puzzles of the enemy bases' layouts to clear them out is extremely satisfying and addictive (wait, there is another watchtower near the road? Now i absolutely MUST stop and blow it out!), and the core concept is well thought and holds the mechanics of the game together tight - they are working in good connection and support each other. Races are especially good for the genre - they are big, finely scripted sequences with Messerschmidt squads passing above the tracks, and even for the side missions the tracks are well thought. All in all, it is a damn fine game made by a team that was, judging by result, took a great joy of making it, which you won't regret buying. The only things the release misses is the separate soundtrack - it is wonderful, if a little incorrect for period - and the official wallpapers that EA released, but i hope they will be added someday.

One of my favs

This is one of my all-time favourite games ever, completed it many times, EA bought Pandemic Studio that made the game and then promptly shut them down leaving the game left with a few flaws and no Saboteur 2 and 200 jobless…….A holes. This is Pandemics work and not EA and what a game it was, a brilliant mix of colour/black and white gives the game a great look and style, the best is climbing buildings and jumping from roof to roof and of course shooting Nazis as you go. If you like games like Assassins Creed, Mafia and GTA then it’s a good mix of all three in occupied France, great story and plot. If the game crashes at the start there is a patch just google it.

Good game, bad port

The game itself is fine. Not great, but not bad - a bit of a mix of Assassins Creed's climbing and GTA's driving / shooting, only not as polished as either. This port is a bit of a mess though, with a bug that means an Xbox 360 controller doesn't work properly unless the controller is turned on once the player is in control of the character in game. Turning the controller on before loading, or on the title menu results in crazy sensitivity and a weird spinning camera when you drive anywhere. For some reason it's impossible to alt-tab out (which made finding the solution to the controller problems a lot harder!). Also for some reason, the graphics settings are hidden away in the program files (in case anyone else is looking for this, it's called VideoSetup and it's in the goggames/thesaboteur folder). If these bugs were fixed I'd be giving this 4*. As is, it's just a bit of a mess.

freakin' fantastic

A great GTA style game, set in a WWII universe, with an upset irish bloke who helps the city regain its colors after getting rid of the Nazi invaders. Beautiful and fun
