Good swansong for Pandemic
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
It is a shame that EA short-sitedly closed Pandemic Studios, because this game maybe better than any other shows their creativity in all it’s spendour and what they were capable of creating.
Set initially before the outbreak of World War II (some early mission) and during the German Occupation of France, “The Sabotoeur lets you take control of Sean Devlin, a hard drinking Irish racecar mechanic.
The Pros:
The game looks fantastic whether your playing in Black And White, or the “inspired” areas in Colour, despite a few graphical flaws the game still looks absolutely terrific and really sells this as being how occupied France may have looked.
I personally loved the gameplay again there were one or two minor flaws with controls, Ai and aiming but nothing too serious to really impact the general gameplay experience, or to stop you being able to enjoy playing.
The Cons:
The voice acting is at times slightly less than convincing especially the accents of the main characters in the game which sometimes dip from recognisable as French to Inspecter Clouseau French. This for me was a minor thing but understand why people could be offput by this.
Enemy AI is on occassional ridiculous, I can run a checkpoint and the chasing soldiers give up within a few hundred yards yet can scuff a car and be chased across Paris, and more often than not escaping is down more to AI incompetance than a requirement to outrun and outthink the enemy.
Overall I really enjoyed this game and would ask that you look past the negatives which have been highlighted in all the reviews and concentrate on the games positives as sure you too will find The Saboteur to be a pretty good game
best game i bought
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
i own quite a lot of thw top titles that have come out for the ps3( cod waw, cod mw2, metal gear solid, GTA iv and many more) but this is easily the best game i own. You will here many folk say it is a lot of fun and it that is the best way to sum it up its funny, entertaining and there is plenty of things to do with a lot of varied missions. To get your moneys worth though i recommend playing it on hard difficulity as it is as others says far too easy on normal difficulity. If your looking for a game thats not too hard and your looking to spend a good 20 hours plus on it and love every minute off it this is the one for you. Like i said best game i own.
Achtung Irelander!!!

A good game now being sold at a value for money price .In this game you play an Irishman drawn into the ranks of the French Resistance during the 2nd World War .The game is set in Paris and the surrounding countryside. The graphics are good as is the gameplay.At the begining you are given the oppurtunity to play the game through what can only be described as an “ADULT” perspective. This means the strippers and dancers in the paris nightclub you use as a base and refuge are realistically portrayed.Causing i should imagine some hot under the collar reactions from teenage lads whom i imagine this game is targetted at.That said i was impressed with the rendition of Paris and im led to believe that once the story mode is completed the game opens up to a freeroaming experience akin to Grand Theft Auto whereby you can simply choose missions as and where you lke.As im still in the story mode dont take that as gospel but if that is true i am looking forward to cruising round Paris looking for those nasty Nazis.Oh i should mention that at the begining the city of Paris is portrayed in dark and sombre shades but as you progress and liberate more and more of the city it becomes more pleasant and colourful. A nice touch.
frustrating

I was looking forward to getting into this game, as I generally prefer ‘covert’ style games where stealth, cunning and ingenuity play more of a part than solid action.
Whilst those strategic components are very much part of the game, I feel they are hampered by poor controls and gameplay. For example, German guards will open fire on you if they see you within a compound, but think nothing of walking past their commrades lying on the floor with snapped necks and no clothes. They think nothing of you walking around on roofs right next to their camp, but climb a wall or crouch and they’ll open fire. I spent hours trying to steal a limousine without “spoiling it’s good looks” (as your character suggests) but found the only way I could steal it was by ramming the car through metal gates whilst taking heavy machine gun fire on all sides! It just doesn’t seem particularly realistic.
The controls themselves didn’t feel inuitive either, and I often found myself lobbing granades instead of taking cover. This in turn would raise the alarm, and as I found no immediate way to restart the mission, I had to wait the 30 seconds it took for an entire German patrol with machine guns to kill me so I could try again.
The controls for driving cars, which seems to be a large part of the game, feel unresponsive and sluggish, and it seems perfectly acceptable for you character (who is helping liberate the French from their German occupiers) to wrench drivers out of their seats and steal their cars.
I wanted to like the game, as there are some excellent aspects to it – the graphics are nice, characters movements are good (especially walloping over the back of heads!), the women are scantily clad, there is a lot of free play, the plot & story seem decent enough.
I’ll give it another go, but I suspect this one’s for trade-in.
What on earth!!

Have you ever seen anyone in a game of this era who jumps like Sean!! Graphics shoddy, Gameplay shoddy, and story terrible. Who was the writer.
