About Me
I'm 25 and I like video games!!! I'm a cheap-ass about it so I rarely have the newest stuff.

I own NES, SNES, Dreamcast, GBA, GBA Micro, GBA SP, DS lite, PSP slim, PS2, and a 360 Elite.

Also a PC of course, and the best game ever is Starcraft.

I work at Gamestop in Westfield, MA. Most Gamestops arn't cool. Mine is alright.

Other than games, I like photography, graphic design and hiking/camping. My hobbies are expensive :-(

If you go to my website, I will make happy at you!

Things about The Saboteur [It's Good!]
Spykron | 6:50 PM on 01.05.2010 6 comments




I just finished the story line of The Saboteur and here are some things I'd like to tell you:

-The art. is. awesome. Not just the black and white film noir stuff. When things turn to color it has an over saturated look that I really like. There is a difference between good art and good graphics and I'll always side with art.

-The story is pretty cool. Open world games tend to be a bit incoherent at times but this one holds up well.

-In case you were wondering, this game is GTA with Nazi's instead of police, you work with the resistance instead of gangs, AND ZEPPELINS will chase you instead of helicopters. ZEPPELINS.

-Has an a great ominous mood to it. This game gives you time to look around and soak in all the Nazi propaganda. (And try on all their outfits)

-Sweet-ass race cars.

-Features the song Island Blues by Koop. (The topless chick is singing it in the Belle at the very beginning) http://vimeo.com/6380927

It's a crowded game world out there, and it's no secret this one went under the radar. Go pick it up so you can be one of the cool kids in the cool club of people who played it.

Witty

The correct answer is that the Saboteur is Average.
It's not great, It's not terrible. It's Average.

Right on!

I like it alot, but haven't gotten anywhere near finishing it, for other stuff, like Betas I didn't think I'd ever play.

I had a strange impulse (was it the topless chicks?) to purchase this game for full price, which I rarely do nowadays, and when I do, it's usually on Steam. I waited and waited and it never showed up, so I bit the bullet and picked it up at EB. (Gamestop, whatever.) (Funnily enough, I think they accidentally gave me some kind of preorder bonus, as it was only $40, and came with a code for a 'preorder knife'.)

It's a good game. It definitely has some glaring flaws, but I like it. It starts off a little average, but when the next chapter starts up with transporting the race car I started to get excited. It really is a gorgeous game. Unfortunately, school called and I had to put off the game around the halfway mark.

'Roundabout Christmas time I bought GTA 4 for seven bucks on Steam and had a hankering to play some more Saboteur to compare to GTA, which I never properly played. I hacked it to run without the CD (WHY did I have to do that? What a pain!) and got back to rocking and rolling. I'm having at least as much fun with it as I am with GTA. Yeah, it maybe doesn't have as much to do - maybe the hand-to-hand combat is a little underwhelming - maybe running from the Nazis is a little bit on the insane side once you get up to level 3 and 4 - maybe the cars shouldn't control better than GTA's, thematically, but they DO - maybe the black-and-white is a little gimmicky, but going full-color is surprisingly cool. Yeah. This game is totally worth playing. It's FUN!
