The Saboteur (Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows)

[InsaneNutter]

I had never read anything about this game until last week, if you like GTA and were a fan of the Mafia game released a couple of years ago you will love this!

You play the game as an Irish man named Sean Devlin, a regular among the racing groups of Paris. Although the German Army's grip over the area is becoming tighter everyday, he ignores their presence, until one by one his friends are killed by the Nazis.

This finally breaks Sean's tolerance of the German presence, and he takes up arms against them to gain his revenge. In his quest he is assisted by the French Resistance and the British Intelligence.

Im about 2 hours in to the game so far and have loved ever second of it, think of it as a fun version of GTA 4 but set in World War 2.

Depending on where you are in the world the game is either out now or will be out on the 8th.

I've played this game on PC. It's pretty good, cars drive nice and smooth with easy power-sliding. Guns do a lot of damage, to you and enemies, so you have to take care. Weapons are nice, cars are nice, climbing buildings is cool. It plays a bit similar to GTA, but is still enjoyable for its own merits, like planting bombs on the base of sniper towers.

InsaneNutter and I were talking about this game earlier. I am very excited about this game especially because it is from Pandemic. I really enjoyed both Mercenaries games made by Pandemic. The Saboteur gameplay looks like a mix between inFamous, Mercenaries, Assassin's Creed and GTA. Can't wait for this one, only 5 days left for the US release.

I got my copy the other day, this is one of the best games to be released this year. Well after ODST of course

Great achievements too such as: "Pint and a Shag - You got lucky with Skylar"

I have picked this up the day it came out and wow. InsaneNutter did not lie about this game. The gameplay mechanics are not innovative or anything, but blowing up Nazis and their equipment has never been so entertaining. I really enjoy the adult feel to the game because I think if this was only rated T instead of M, it would not retain the same atmoshphere. I also enjoy how the game switches from Black & White to color based on whether or not that section of Paris has been liberated. Great, great game, go out and pick up a copy! EA games are only $49.99 right now so if you are thinking of getting it, do it now while they are on sale . Now I just have to find a code to unlock the pre-order gift which was a Nazi knife for use in stealth kills.

I thought it would be a game you would enjoy, how far are you in to the game now?

Looking at your achievements you are probably catching up to me, I have just done the mission involving the train (Trying not to give too much away) which has to be one of the best missions yet!

Ive tried to be stealthy in the game, its much easier just to run in and kill though

 

[KillerWhiteMan]

I am catching up to you indeed sir . I have just completed the mission where you need to steal the limosuine from that Nazi General. I believe the mission was for the Black Market group. I also try to be stealthy, but I also like putting a pistol round right into some unlucky Nazi's face. Did your copy come with a code to unlock the Midnight Show DLC InsaneNutter?

I recently completed this game, took about 16 hours. Was a great experience, this isn't really a spoiler, but you'll be happy to know you finally get Dierker!

 

[InsaneNutter]

16 hours sounds about right, my playtime is about 8-9 hours and im just over 50% through the game, thats without doing all the extra freeplay missions.

Glad to know we finally get Dierker

 

[KillerWhiteMan]

I believe I am all caught up to you InsaneNutter. Our achievements seem to be the same . It's good to know that the game is pretty long. I love how games have become longer than they used to.
