Fun gameplay, stupid Hollywood tone
A blend of Red Faction: Guerrilla, Assassin's Creed and GTA, The Saboteur follows the adventures of Sean Devlin, an Irish guy who assists the French Resistance in WWII Paris by blowing stuff up gratuitously. The gameplay is fun, with the ability to disguise yourself, sneak around, climb rooftops and be as stealthy or forceful as you like. Areas that are German held are black-and-white, turning colourful when liberated. BY FAR the best bit is the sabotage. You can plant dynamite on anything and you can delay the explosions. You can even turn your car into a bomb. If what's written so far appeals to you, get it. However, there are some grating issues. The game is marred by tone and realism problems and this translates to both the story and arcade-y gameplay too. Like AC, it's a power fantasy rather than a balanced game. On "Hard" difficulty, Sean can survive being shot by the entire Wehrmacht for a good 40 seconds. Secondly, the sheer scale of destruction Sean unleashes ruins suspension of disbelief. He single handedly wins WWII...! Expect to kill 500,000 soldiers on the streets, destroy entire tank battalions with dynamite and escape capture every time. In the capital of Vichy France! The game also adds silly fictional aspects that damage the authentic atmosphere. You'll see super soldiers with miniguns (uhh?), tanks that look like they came out of C&C and the Gestapo drive huge black sinister racing cars with machineguns attached. Finally, the story is so cliched and cartoonishly Hollywood it's painful. Sean is pretty unlikable. They made him maximum OIRISH, complete with every single possible stereotype. Alcoholic, violent, criminal, womaniser, hates England, flatcap. Every woman he meets is a buxom, feisty sex symbol and instantly wants to bed him despite his insanely abrasive personality. They tried to establish a plausible villain and then make his bodyguard a leather-clad, huge-breasted dominatrix. WTF? Overall a fair game, let down by the silly tone.
