Eurogamer: The Saboteur review

So what do you get? You get Grand Theft Auto III crossed with 'Allo 'Allo: an open-world mission-based game based in a cobbled muddle of Parisian streets, in which you can accept objectives from a handful of different factions, stealth-kill Nazis and don their disguises, race cars about, driving through German checkpoint barriers and generally work to take back the city, winning crucial battles in the game's various Fightback Zones while unlocking a range of perks to help you on your way.

'You get Grand Theft Auto III crossed with 'Allo 'Allo: an open-world mission-based game based in a cobbled muddle of Parisian streets,'

That sounds like an awsome IDEA. Infact it is an awsome idea for a game.

'Borrowed ideas are also everywhere to be seen, from the escape radius of GTAIV to the parkour of Assassin's Creed and the visibility radar from titles like Prototype (this is a little circle on the bottom of your mini-map that tells you that you're being watched, and that it's probably not too long before Jerry turns up to give you a shoeing).'

I'm pretty sure the games listen ALSO stole those ideas. I know for a fact a indicator of you being watched isn't new to a game and parkour is a bit like platforming so I really don't know what the reviewer is getting at. Maybe they don't like the idea of games having features from other games... I really don't care where it comes from but instead how good it is.

'Creative theft is hardly a rarity either these days but Pandemic doesn't always seem to understand the mechanics it's pillaging: the game's stealth is even more artificial than it is in a lot of other titles, with Nazis forgetting all about you the minute you hide in a shed in most cases.'

A bit like Assassins Creed where you horse can exceed the speed limit or in COD MW2 where your enemies will ALLWAYS pop up in the same place forgetting that you shot there a minute ago.

And how nit picky does one have to be to write about an achievement anyway?

Yeah I agree with u.
I'm still getting it, I've been waiting a long time for this game

mrv3215274d ago

I am getting it but I don't have the money and honestly it does look good, not a 10/10 OR 9/10 but a good solid and well made game. Like Red frection.

Have watched this game played on JTV and it looks good. I was impressed. I will be getting this tomorrow when its released.

EA Sends Classic Titles To Steam

This is a nice collection of classic. EA has opened its vaults and released a series of classic PC games to Steam for the first time ever.

I wish we had a new Command and Conquer.

Vits66d ago

f you haven't already, consider getting 8-Bit Armies or the new 9-Bit Armies. They're made by some of the same folks from the older C&C, with very similar mechanics; it's just the aesthetics that are completely different.

TheColbertinator66d ago

C&C Red Alert 3 and The Saboteur were two different yet completely unforgettable games to me from a better era of EA.

UltimateOwnage66d ago

Super stoked, excellent pricing too. SteamDeck library+++

I loved the Populas games back in the Amiga days. Will have to download these

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel
