Wired: "It's World War II. You're a member of the French Resistance, and you've got to blow up buildings, assassinate generals and generally make life hell for the occupying Nazi forces.
The Saboteur, which will be released Dec. 8 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 (reviewed), delivers on this exciting premise … sometimes.
Occasionally, the game finds its groove, usually in the missions where you skulk around the backsides of buildings and plant bombs without any stormtroopers spotting you. But Saboteur often dumps this compelling gameplay and puts you into a situation where all you do is empty your machine gun into a hallway full of guards, turning a unique game into a workaday shooter."
