I like this game, kicking some butt and hiding on rooftops and wells.....You'll love the missions that this game offers: racing mission, assassination, etc etc............

Very engaging beginning for me. But it gets slow and kinda gets boring blowing shit up for 5 hours. all around i had a ton of fun.

This game is certainly one of those hidden gems. Do not believe the subpar ratings it got in mainstream media. The color versus noir graphics work well together and serve as a means to make the player feel epic when they liberate part of Paris. The dialogue is great and voice acting is fantastic on most counts. Two characters in particular - Sean, the main character, and a priest who has been left frustrated by the Nazi occupation. The story, while nothing new, is fun to follow and serves to encourage the player to continue quite well. Revenge tales have all been told before, but Sean is an interesting enough character and he undergoes enough growth that the story does not become stale. Gameplay is great and this is by far one of the best sandbox titles out there. As many have said, it's like a combination of GTAIV and Assassin's Creed, but that's not a bad thing. The Saboteur combines gameplay elements from both and does it well and with a lot of polish. Climbing is great and only once or twice did I feel like Sean wasn't doing what I wanted him to and driving is way better than in GTA - sometimes, ultra-realistic vehicle suspension don't equal fun (I'm looking at you Rockstar). Blowing up Nazi installations at your leisure to gain contraband (the game's money) is fun in it's own right and there are plenty of weapons and alternatives to use while on your mission of destruction (including some wicked fun fictional Nazi weapons near the end). The set pieces are solid and get progressively more epic as you go with some truly fantastic gameplay moments like running through an exploding Zeplin or busting prisoners off of a moving train before it reaches the end of its trip at a bridge wired to explode. The gameplay is a mix of stealth and action with some fun minigames like racing or a duck hunt remix to break up the pacing. Graphics and character design are solid, although some optimization would help. I kind of felt that the game should have been able to run at higher settings on my lap top for the way it looked, but it wasn't too bad. There are games with far worse optimization out there. There are some bugs (the occasional floating object or Nazi) but they are rare. Sound design and the soundtrack is downright fantastic. Explosions and gunfire sound great and there's nothing like the purr of your racecar's engine as you flee from Nazi pursuers. The soundtrack is a blend of period music in English and French, many of which have been remixed or jazzed up in some way, but it's nice to drive to and the orchestral pieces for the more action packed moments serve to make them feel more epic. Overall, Saboteur is a must try for any sandbox or action fan. It's truly sad that it is Pandemic's final game as it is also the best by far. The ending alone is so simple, but so epic that it is one of the best game endings in a long time. The Saboteur is one hell of a ride and anyone looking for a solid title to fill some time should give it a shot.… Expand

I was kind of unsure about this game when i first started, but I've come to very much enjoy the experience. I find myself constantly coming back to it and enjoying it every time. I've found a few glitches, but most of them have worked in my favor (ie. alarms not still going after loading a checkpoint) and even then they're nothing worse than I've encountered in other games. As for the people who have had issue with ATI cards, they must've fixed this somewhere along the lines, because I am running it just fine (hasn't crashed on me once yet and I've played quite a bit) under 64-bit Win 7 and an ATI Radeon 4870X2. Maybe that and the i7 just power through the problem spots, I dunno, but I do know that I haven't noticed any issues yet, even after playing for several hours straight. Moral of the story, if it runs for you, it's well worth a play.… Expand

I have an AMD/ATI setup and i can confirm that this game runs fine on it, especially with the new beta patch installed (so i am pleased i ignored the previous negative comments). Had the game a day and so far loving it! The character of Sean (the irish guy) is great with his funny comments. The game kinda has a GTA meets Assasins creed feel to it..... it becomes really fun to try and do all the missions by stealth. Blowing up things never gets old :) Overall, i love the feel of the game and think this is gonna be one of those games i feel compelled to finish!!… Expand

The word "broken" doesn't fully describe this game. FUBAR would be somewhat closer. For those of us using ATi cards, EA have decided to say "hey, get f****d". The game constantly crashes, and in order to play, i have to Alt+Tab every time the game freezes. Apparently "EA are aware of the issue" yet are taking over a week to even give us word on patch progress. Knowing EA, they'll slap the words "DLC" on it and charge us £20 for it.… Expand

This game seems way under rated. It really is a shame it doesn't run properly with ATI cards but then again I have a NVIDIA card adn it runs fine. The game itself deserves a 7 or 8, it's not the most innovative and ground breaking game ever but it sure is alot of fun and is definately worth getting.

Simply the best game from Mafia. A piece of art. Of course, the game of the year.

This game is very fun. It is a great combination of assassin's creed and gta4. I've put in about 10 hours now and can't get enough.

The Saboteur is just another mediocre game from Pandemic Studios. The concept and the history is interesting but unfortunately it has many bugs and the gameplay is not good. Avoid it.

I dont understand why the main reviews gave it such a low score, this game is amazing! Maybe because it doesn't have multiplayer? Who knows.. Combine GTA IV with Call Of Duty and Godfather II and Prince of Pursia, and you get Saboteur. The graphics are excellent, sound is great, gameplay is top notch, animations are fluid, its quite hard to fault. It has a unique style/atmosphere to the game, kind of like th original Call of Duty but in a Sandbox setting. You can roam free and go after enemy objects how you please, there is loads of detail and polish, and plenty of action. I honestly think this is the best game of the year, way better than the boring scripted linear setting of other WW2 games.… Expand

Very good game...amazing 1940`s paris and surrounding....it s a huge world with thousands of nazi installation to destroy...u got racing ,shooting,upgrades and girls...oh yeah...u can do what u want whenever u want...i didnt had a feel of linearity....if u like gta and world war type of game...this one is for you ....i enjoyed it so much i almost declared myself sick from work just to play it...it s a must...… Expand

If I were to be rating this game based on the technical sides of the game, I would give it more like a 7, but I'm not. Based on how much fun I have blowing up Nazi installations in Paris, I give it a 9.

Great game, works on my windows 7 64-bit PC with nVidia graphics like a charm. Good gameplay, although maybe a bit glitchy at times. Still a game worth buying though. I'd say it is more a console game than PC game though.

This game was surprisingly really good. Great story that lasted longer than I thought it would. High replay value since I want to go back and get all the perks and cars to 100% this game. Only bad thing was the graphics. They seemed a little dated for a game in Q4 of 2009.

This game is a mix between Assassins Creed and GTA. I love both of those games so i liked this aswell, but it doesnt quite reach up to their quality. So if theyd just use a little bit more time this would be one of my favorites. Also i wish there were more missions

This game is highly underrated. In many ways this is Grand Theft Auto IV in Paris, and it compares quite favorably to GTA IV on most levels. There are technical issues for some, but when running smooth this game is highly enjoyable and should be a must-buy for anyone who is a GTA fan.

Considering that the game does not run at all with Windows Vista/7 and ATI graphics cards, I can't see the game getting more any score at all. It is literally unplayable for thousands of PC players.

Game simply would not run (even the menus) on a modern PC with ATI graphics and Windows 7. Apparently the developer also is no longer around and therefore no guarantee can be given that EA will be able to fix it. So if you got ATI hardware stay away till the problems are resolved. Really unfortunate was looking forward to playing it. Might get it on the PS3 in stead when the price drops.

I love this game, as simple as that. Running on nvida 280gtx windows 7 64 and i7 920 cpu. Realize that a lot of ati owners have problems, (which should have been fixed in a patch now I think), but as for myself, I havent encountered a single gamestopping bug. Great atmosphere, well made story and acting, recommend for anyone with some proper refined taste ;-)

I purchased the game for close to nothing and have found it to be highly entertaining. I like the setting, the story is quite interesting (particularly for a game), and the graphics/sound/voice acting are very good. There are flaws where the game lacks "polish", but nothing is a show stopper. Overall I had a great time playing this game - sorry to hear Pandemic has closed. As a side note: I have an ATI 5850 and quad core CPU and did not have any problems with the game at all (I installed the beta patch and did not disable two of the cpu cores).… Expand

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). There is so much to do and see in this game that it can easily deliver over 35-40 hours of gameplay before you finish the last mission, as it did for me.… Expand

The game is certainly fun, and I found the campaign much more enjoyable than Just Cause 2. Yes you will likely get bored being a completist and trying to get every last Nazi structure destroyed. Nowhere near as boring/cut&paste as Just Cause 2. The car driving is tricky at first but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun. I would say Just Cause 2 certainly wins in the vehicle diversity/mayhem you can cause with vehicles, but there is still a lot of fun to be had with them here, and frankly that style wouldn't work well in this period.… Expand

This is a great game. Lots of action, climbing on rooftops, and killing Nazis. You can pick from a variety of weapons and explosives to complete the missions. The scenery in the game is also interesting and authentically Parisian; e.g., Pigalle Street, Montmarte, and the weird roads and biways. When I played the game, I really got caught up in the plot even though Sean Devlin is somewhat transparent and the ladies are pretty, but not very entertaining. The only reason I didn't give this game a 10 was because the characters seemed to move in a jerky motion and the Sean was slow to react to the controls. Overall, I recommend this game highly.… Expand

This is one of the best games I've played... and replayed. Lots of different playing aspects to the game from the more scripted main missions and side missions to just roaming around idealized versions of Paris, La Havre, and Saarbrucken going after the various types of freeplay targets. This game can take weeks to play. Thankfully, you don't have to go after every freeplay target. Pay special attention to the Perks as they can give you access to extra and more powerful weapons. I thought the storyline was engaging and the voice acting very good. Character facial animation could have been a bit better, something more like in Half Life 2 would have been perfect. Game physics was good. Driving a car was a challenge as all Parisians seemed to have a death wish by randomly jumping in front of my car, not to mention the cars controlled by game AI. Bodies all over the place! It's too bad the game has problems with ATI cards. The game sat on my bookshelf for that reason for about a year before I upgraded to a slightly faster system with an Nvidia card. Even then, the game crashes if I play it for too long under XP or Windows 7. The beta 1.3 patch didn't help the crashing problem. I just live with it as the game is too good to just give up on. Maybe the folks at EA will fix it and add a few more missions. Hope springs eternal.… Expand

The Saboteur is simply a work of art and unfairly under-rated. The problem with ATI card can be worked around with few tweaking and after that, the game runs fine. (Folks having issues with this game will most likely have issues with other titles.) I find this game to be one of best open world game I've played so far. (Well next to Mafia 2, yet another under-rated title)

The game had an excellent vibe and way of describing what was happening in Paris during World War II. I'd recommend this to any World War II fanatic out there. There were a few game issues but nothing that affected the overall game-play majorly. I was disappointed by the Xbox controller support, it had it but it worked horribly. Other then that, excellent game. If you see it on sale, get it, you won't be disappointed.… Expand

If you enjoy action sandbox games GTA style, you will enjoy enormously playing The Saboteur. I would call it one of the most hidden Gems of the decade. Even if i don't know what kind of sales the game achieved I can say.. not enough. It is a great game that had the potential of becoming a great franchise, hope they retake it and make a sequel. After reading some reviews and watching some videos I decided to go out of my way of buying only games from Steam and gave it a try. Get it, deserves a chance in your collection but for what i understand first check if u don't have compatibility issues since that would be the only thing standing between you and a great production. It's not perfect but sure it's fun and a great concept.… Expand

game with interesting gameplay, story. And of course the bad Nazis! If you love to kill Nazis, climb buildings like spider man, this game is for you!

I really liked the game. A good story, a lot of freedom for action. Excellent graphics, not demanding on hardware. I would like to see The Saboteur 2.
