Flawed, but satisfying gameplay

The Saboteur is more or less a GTA clone, but set in WW2 Paris. As such, it's not surprising that the main story and pretty much all side missions, including pretty much all side activities revolves around shooting nazi's and blowing up nazi stuff. The characters are unlikeable, and the storyline is pretty forgettable, but still the game is quite enjoyable. Why, because the gameplay is quite satisfying. It's possible to steal someone uniform, stealth around, taking out guys with quietly, or at least without being seen. And as the game title suggests, blowing stuff up is quite a big part of the game itself. You have timed dynamite, triggered dynamite, and grenades. Or if you know where to look, you can get yourself a tank. Stealthing around, blowing stuff up, it plays quite well. Most open world targets are stuff for you to blow up as well. Blowing stuff up indiscriminately will quite quickly see you swamped with nazi's trying to kill you. Though you'll die quickly if you get caught in a bad spot, it's not that hard to escape the alarms, either, though the higher level alarms will make it a lot harder, until you unlock an upgrade that makes it just as easy as on the lower difficulties. There were also some bugs, most of them apparently revolving around my either having a 4 core CPU, or having an older AMD graphics card, both of which apparently can cause bugs. My most noticeable one was that the textures would load slowly in some areas. Most of the time not much of an issue, except when you're driving a fast car. Unfortunately, there are some races in the game, which are made somewhat more difficult by this bug. Not too much, but the time trial would've been impossible to beat on higher difficulties, as the timer continues while the game hangs while the textures load. Also, in one of the races I fell through a bridge a couple of times, as I tried to cross it before it was loaded. All in all, it's a somewhat flawed game, though I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

Brilliant, but with a touch of EA

The setup for the game is interesting in the first place. You play as an Irishman in Nazi-occupied Paris who seeks revenge from the Nazis and has several skills at his disposal to do so, from climbing buildings to using explosives to disguising as the enemy. And it holds up to that well. Paris is gorgeous and never feels small with enough city and countryside and many of its famous landmarks, the Nazis are ruthless once they start chasing after you, and there's hundreds of Nazi installations on the map that you can sabotage. The story will keep you looking forward to what is next and will highlight the movements of the Resistance, the Nazis and British Intelligence. Only the optional missions may feel weak, but even then, they play a role in liberating Paris which will help you tremendously when escaping from the Nazis as they aren't as common in liberated (or colored) areas, and the Resistance will come to your aid in these areas. While there aren't several radio stations with tens of tracks like you'd expect from a GTA game, what few there is can keep you glued to your car just listening to them (even though they weren't composed in the time of the game). Even the background music when the Nazis chase after you or during infiltrations will highlight the severity of the situation well. The game is fun, and I don't regret plunking 60 hours into it. However, EA's meddling is immediately obvious in the game, even more so that this is Pandemic's last game before EA shut them down (that's why one star off). Stationary machinery may spawn in a way that kills its guards or explodes, the getaway strike may never properly arrive or be stuck in the ground, crate debris may kill you from their momentum, the last gear in most cars have quieter engines...who knows what the game would've been like if it wasn't for EA's meddling? However, don't let them discourage you from experiencing this masterfully crafted game and its depiction of Paris!

Chaotic and Fun if Frustrating

I was expecting a lot more in the way of stealth missions but this is a bit more like GTA. Half the time when I thought out solutions to dealing with a problem without raising the alarm but all the suggestions said to go in guns blazing anyway. The combat is fun but it's irritating when the Nazis never stop spawning unless you can outrun them or hide. Driving is fun and there's lots of cars but unlike some other open world games running over people doesn't seem to matter unless they're Nazis or allies and cars don't handle that much differently. I liked the cutscenes and voice acting, although sensitive souls may take issue with the profanity and nudity (the nudity can be turned off in the menu). If you like blowing stuff up and shooting Nazis this is a fine sandbox, but it's not very meticulous as a stealth game similar to Assassin's Creed or Hitman which I thought it might be like. Not a bad game, but not very realistic and a bit chaotic.

Damn fine game.

After having this in my collection for a while, I finally gave it a spin and I have to say I'm loving this game. It take aspects of other genres and brings them all together for a fantastic experience. There's a little something for everyone; stealth? check, run and gun? check, sniping? check, car chases and driving? check. Honestly, this is just a well made game and has incredible atmosphere as well. One of my favs on GOG.
