Most likely because I played Invisible War first, but I prefer it to the first. Go ahead and hate me, I can take it. Yeah it's consolized, yeah it's simpler. But there's so much fun to be had either trying to keep everyone alive, or trying to kill every single person that I always come back to this one.
This is my all-time favorite open world game. From the setting, to the music, to the controls, The Saboteur is as good as it gets. I love how the world starts with subdued colors and gradually gains vivid, beautiful colors as you progress. I really can't think of any flaws that should deter you from buying this one if you like this style of game. It's not silly like Saints Row, or GTA, but it's one of the most fun games in existance.
I don't really like the game. There's a lot going on from the start and I just can't get into it. It looks nice, controls deceltly enough. But I feel like I'm just randomly slashing around with a sword. Definitely wouldn't have bought it if I had the chance to play it first.
