Story Welcome to Nazi-occupied Paris, a unique open-world environment where you take on the role of street-tough Irish race driver Sean Devlin and eventually become The Saboteur. Although living in occupied WWII Paris, Sean is initially concerned only with the racing lifestyle and his friends within it. That all changes though when the Nazis kill his friends, and change his life forever. Seeking personal retribution on a Nazi officer and others involved, Sean’s life soon becomes dominated by a need for payback, which is exacted with the help of the French Resistance, British intelligence, an arsenal of weaponry, and your own street smarts and brawn. Motivated by retribution and armed with tactics of sabotage you are a one man wrecking crew, blowing up zeppelins, derailing trains, imploding bridges, destroying armored tanks, and leveling enemy facilities in the name of vengeance. Open-world Gameplay The Saboteur in the first open-world, action game set in Nazi-occupied Europe, and combines a variety of different kinds of gameplay, including third-person shooter, stealth and racing. As in other open-world games, this means that although players will be tasked with completing an extensive list of set missions against Nazi units and individuals, they will also have the freedom to explore and fight throughout the game world as they choose. This world although set in Paris also encompasses the French countryside, as well as parts of Germany. Within it players will be able to use representations of actual landmarks for example, the Eiffel Tower for navigation, and a variety of vehicles for transportation and combat. In mission play, with each success players move closer to tracking down the particular Nazis responsible for the death of Sean’s friends by putting the rewards that they receive for success to work on the black-market. They can trade for all sorts of items to help their progress, from weapons, to cars, maps and more. These all can also either be found throughout the game, or taken from defeated opponents, although the more commotion that is created and the higher the skills of the player, the greater the enemy response will be. The “Will to Fight” System Although built around Sean’s desire for personal revenge, The Saboteur also contains a play mechanism through which the lives of the non-player characters (NPCs) are improved, and can even be manipulated. This is the “Will to Fight” system. Long known as the “City of Light,” Paris as depicted in the game under Nazi occupation is a place dominated by stark black and white colors. These colors reflect the hopelessness of the people. But as the player collects victories against the invaders, a change will begin to be seen in the physical environments of the game, again reflecting the mood of the people. Where once there were only stark black and white colors and few civilians on the street, now players will see increasingly bright colors, reflecting the hope of the civilians and eventually incite an underground resistance among the Parisians to take up arms on their own, and even come to your aid when the odds are stacked against you.

I, too, was on the fence about getting this game. I had just blown through several terrific titles (Uncharted 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age) and was looking for something to play over the holidays. And while the idea of running around Paris and disrupting Nazi plans via subterfuge is an enticing one. . . the buggy play, rote cutscenes and frustrating deaths (even on the easiest level) made me pack it up and put it back on Amazon for trade-in before I had even completed a third of it. And believe me: I hate leaving games unfinished–even the bad ones–but The Saboteur made it impossible to keep playing. Here are a few examples:
* there were two Father Denis missions where the game just wouldn’t let you do what you needed to do to advance. One was a sniper mission where your arrival at a particular vantage point was to trigger an event so you could take out a target. Only it never did. I had to restart back at HQ and do it all over again (twice) before it finally played out the way it was meant to. The second was a mission where he is supposed to follow you to a car and you take him somewhere. Only he wouldn’t follow. He stayed behind a desk at a church and no matter what you did, ne made no move to follow.
* after I gave up on trying the Father Denis mission, there was another mission where you had to release a prisoner held under close Nazi guard. I broke into the compound, eliminated the guards, opened his cell and guess what? He wouldn’t follow me. He just stayed in his cell. And, of course, after you wander too far away from him (in an attempt to see if he’ll follow), the game fails you for getting too far away from him. Simply maddening.
* the car mechanics are incredibly lazy. It’s 2002 rules all over again: Trees are immovable objects and cars never show damage (oh except when they suddenly start smoking).
* once your suspicion meter fills up, it’s virtually impossible to tell which Nazi saw you and is going to blow the whistle on you. So of course you end up in alert mode which takes forever to escape because the game keeps spawning Nazis at every corner.
* the game just outright froze several times, requiring me to turn my PS3 on/off. . . and the save system is a bewildering mess, meaning you end up having to restart much, much further back than you remembered. Brutal.
So a frozen game–as I was about to arrive at a mission–was the final straw for me. You win, Electronic Arts and Pandemic. You broke me. I paid $59 for this turd and will get $25 for trade-in. Which is a steal because I wouldn’t pay $8 for this thing–it’s that frustrating/lazy.
One thing I wish other reviewers had mentioned, and I realized it about 6 minutes into playing the game: it’s basically EA’s The Godfather all over again. It’s that kind of unfinished, bug-filled, inane, predictibly frustrating gamng experience. Shame on me for not realizing it before I lost my $$$ on it. I hope none of you will make the same mistake and I sincerely hope that someone from EA reads this and feels horrible for putting a game that was probably 30-35% ready on the market. I won’t make this mistake again.

This play has a ton d' exits. The graphs are to the top narrowly good, but d' a distance it resembles the sound except d' a older system of GEN. The orders are a akward little but make able. And the life of night is fresh, with the dancers of barechested. But l' drive is poor. Not that GTA4 is large, but this which leads is like the godfather. Well not which it bad, but not good. J' hope only that Maffia 2 leaves soon, and the AWG can finially obtain a rival. If you don& #039; T have the AWG and your concidering this, obtain the AWG.
Estimate: 4/5
My son says to me that c' is more the big game PS 3 qu ' it played forever! And believe that j' he is an expert in this field!
Estimate: 5/5
It fun, but I wouldn’t buy it for full price and would be very hesitant if it was price $10 lower.
Forget the storyline.
If Saboteur was going to steal things from other games make them better or at least similar. My pet-peeve would be the climbing aspect of the game. When you climb you have to press the X button, not press and hold, but press the button over and over again until you reach the top. That’s just annoying.
Unpolished. Obviously EA should stick to publishing and not creating games. If you like enemies spawning every where then you’ll. . . like. . . this? For me, if I cleared out an area, I don’t expect another enemy to spawn right in front of me.
During a mini-mission where I had to destroy 4 nazi bridges, the mission worked as planned. After destroying 3 bridges the 4th one was missing something. I climbed on the certain locations on the bridge to plant explosives, but I couldn’t. There wasn’t any shadowy like explosive to indicate that I put it on the correct location. In fact it did do anything. I basically had to give up.
It’s 2009 and it will be 2010 next month. Catch me drift people who still make game mechanics dated 10 years ago.
Forgive me, it’s not un-polished. . . it’s UNFINISHED! Certain things on the game makes no sense. Like the size of the steps on the big cannons during Mr. Wong’s missions. Also, the character can get stuck when he is in a small gap.
The good thing is that their is a lot to do. The game looks really good — like a Sin City noir –, but sadly the atmosphere changes after you so-called liberated an area.
I like the cover system and the weapons though.
Description of playing the game:
Your walking down a street. A Nazi soldier standing on the sidewalk being an A-hole(threating an old lady or getting ready to shoot someone for no reason) You decide to do a stealth attack and steal his uniform for the next mission. You check your weapons before going to the gun dealer. You have full ammo for the two rifles you can carry and enough grenades, dynomite and timed explosives for any mission. You look up and see a Nazi guard tower. You decide not to plant a bomb up there since you tired of climbing and their seems to be a lot of balconies that would make this climb a hassle. You want to drive, even though the driving is a bit annoying, but what can you expect its the 1940s. You get attacked and fail. You want to re-start the game again, but your given a choice, load a game save or head back to HQ. Both option reveals the you will lose all of the money and weapons. And yeah, the auto save only works if you’ve competed a mission.
Sorry Pandemic, I really loved your Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction and latest Mercenaries was OK. Wished steal was possible though.
DLC nudity? Have they heard of the internet.

This is one of the best games I’ve played. It’s a mix between GTA and Farcry2 but it takes place in 1940’s Paris France. You get to go around and blow stuff up and kill Nazi’s. You should try it out definitely worth it.
