The Saboteur is looking sexy in these new images photo

Electronic Arts has revealed some brand new screenshots and artwork for Pandemic-developed Nazi-punching game The Saboteur. Taking the open-world style of game to Nazi-occupied Paris is an interesting idea, and it looks like Pandemic is going to make good use of the concept.

Players take on the role of Sean Devlin, an Irish racing mechanic who teams up with the French Resistance to track down and exact revenge upon a Nazi officer that has taken everything away from him. As the name of the game implies, you'll be required to sabotage Ze Germanz by derailing trains, blowing up zeppelins, taking out bridges and tanks, and destroying bases.  Sounds quite excellent. 

Hit the jump for a press release, and check out the gallery for a closer look at this sweet sounding game.

Pandemic Studios invites you to experience the ultimate open-world action/adventure—as The Saboteur. Avenge the loss of your loved ones by hunting down your sworn enemies in Nazi-occupied Paris. Fight, climb, and race your way through this unique world to destroy the lives of those that have taken everything from you. Enter the seedy world of a saboteur living in a stylized 1940s Paris, where the women are sexy, the missions are epic, and the revenge is satisfying.

inaccurate. Women's underwear in the 1940's would go from her waist to her knees.

I'd rather take on the role of that ass and just parade around Nazi occupied Paris for a while.

I guess that'll have to wait until Bayonetta. Well, minus the Nazi occupied Paris bit.

@Tron: Technically, it didn't go down to the knees, but did involve more cover and a higher stocking.

This would be a better representation of 'sexy' underwear during the 40s and 50s:

Isn't this game already called Velvet Assassin?

Nope, in Velvet Assassin you play the chick in the underwear as opposed to the Malcolm Reynolds knock-off.

Tha Saboteur and Velvet Assassin are two similar, but unique and different games. Both are set in the same era, and based on real people that lived during that time. I also think both will be worth checking out.

As for the 40's ladies wear, the game image is incorrect. A bit more research, devs.
