This is a nice little compact open world game. I say compact because even though there is a lot of side quests it never seems overwhelming. I really enjoyed running around Paris blowing up things. I felt the driving was not a chore like I do in most open world games. I had some issues with using the map screen and a couple of bugs here and there but I would recommend.

Don't believe the corporate media, this game is fundamentally an atmospheric, character-driven and thoroughly-enjoyable re-imagining of nazi-occupied Paris which delivers on almost all of its initial promise. The story and characters are enthralling, the soundtrack is poignant, and the sense of free-roaming, which sees the player sabotaging various kinds of nazi installations, is incredibly fun, at least for the first 10-15 hours. The graphics and the ambient design of the game is at times breathtaking, and is definitely a highlight. Nazis assault civilians as you drive past, Zephyrs fly through the sky, nazi flags and guard towers dominate the thundering black and white skylines and once you get into the later missions you will even face off against Orwellian-styled SS flamethrower troops, tanks, and fighter planes. If you are interested in atmospheric, historical and/or character-driven games with plenty of free-roaming, this game is for you. The only negatives really surface after the first 15-20 hours where the novelty of the sabotaging begins to wear off, but by then you should have enough contraband to buy most of the good weapons, etc. Compared to the free-roaming elements that have featured in games such as GTA 4, it is much better (no annoying date-calls here!). There are also a few minor bugs (you will occasionally see the odd nazi floating through the sky) but they are rare and throughout 35-40 hours of total play I never encountered any game-wrecking bugs. Overall, this game is by far one of the best games released in the last few years, combining a thrilling war setting with fun and atmospheric car races, wall-to-wall shootouts and exploring the city of Paris (which is wonderfully designed).

Amazing gameplay, fantastic back story, definitely worth it to buy if on sale. The game does have some bugs that were never dealt with thanks to EA shutting down the developer Pandemic right after release. If you want a rock solid sandbox RPG in a WW2 background, look no further. Blowing up Nazi occupiers in Paris, racing in the country side in vintage cars, or exchanging fires with Gestapos along side the resistance, this game delivers it all.

The Saboteur’s gameplay is over-the-top to be sure, but in a really satisfying, really entertaining way. And while the story, characters and setting never reach that transcendent level we first imagined, they do get surprisingly close when you consider all the silliness that surrounds them.

This is an absolutely amazing game! I don't really like the whole GTA style sandbox type games but the setting in this one is just right for me and the dialogue is great!

Yet another gem from this summer sale that I've had the pleasure to add to my collection. My impression from reviews of the game were not good, and sold me on NOT getting it, but after seeing what the game has to offer in terms of story, I had to pick it up. I LOVE this game... Definitely worth picking up this title, despite what others say. Pick it up and see for yourself. =]

Lack of support turns this from a diamond to a very flawed gem. Suffering all the symptoms of a bad console port to say the game has issues is an understatement, and Pandemic (The Developer) had their doors closed so the changes of ever seeing a patch beyond the beta patch to help with the "Game does not run with ATI graphics cards" issue.

As for performance well, I am running the game on a GTX 580 and FPS is constantly shifting from 30-60 at max settings.

All that being said, when you strip away performance issues and bugs the game is rock solid. Its an open world sandbox game where you get to kill Nazis as a drunk Irishman who for some unexplained reason has a hideout in a strip club.

The world setting is great, the combat is of your typical Sandbox 3rd person bent but where the game shines is your ability to climb absolutely everything and the world/level design makes good use of this!

A highly recommended purchase if you can get it on sale, just be sure you accept you may have to beat it into submission to get it to run.

This game is a blast! Part Assassin's Creed, part GTA, part Wolfenstein, the game easily can keep most everyone who likes Nazi killing or free roamers entertained for a good long time. It is however obviously designed with the console in mind and then ported to the pc, and you can feel it in the controlls and the menus. Paris and the area around are also pretty big, and getting places can be slow as a result.... however the nice visual styling makes that much more paletable. I liked this game a lot, and have no regrets over this purchase.
