Pandemic Studio's last creation, The Saboteur, just came out earlier this month and we managed to get our hands around a copy of the game. Check out what we had to say on this open world title set in Nazi occupied France during World War II.
And here you thought we'd give you uncensored pictures. Tsk tsk.
How did we score The Saboteur? You'll have to check out our full review to find out but here's a hint: It scored higher than a 1 but lower than a 10!
The Saboteur, Pandemic Studios' last hurrah, comes in the form of an open world action title set in German occupied France during World War II. Playing as Sean Devlin, a character based on actual war hero William Grover-Williams, players will climb, sneak, and shoot their way through a number of varied missions all in the name of revenge. The Saboteur blends elements of Assassin's Creed, Indiana Jones, and Grand Theft Auto to create fantastic results.
There are a few speed bumps in the road, and we are not just talking about the Nazis you run over. A lack of car damage modeling, questionable AI, and some hit and miss dialogue does not kill the gameplay experience, but does mar an otherwise strong final showing from Pandemic. It's a game that if it were given a few more months of work and polish, it would have been an easy contender for game of the year.
