I am a person that likes a good shooter video game.  I have played Call of Duty, Battlefield, Grand Theft Auto, MAG, and quite a few others.  For the most part I can get into almost any game.  Video games need a change of pace.  Almost every game that comes out for the most part has something to do with “Jacking” cars, and shooting people.  Battlefield, Call of Duty, and MAG don’t have any of that in the title.

This game is a interesting version of the standard run around, shoot em up, and jack the car type game.  This game has added the capability of finding hiding spots when you are being chased.  You are able to purchase weapons, and upgrades throughout the play area.  This game has some mild adult scenes in it.  Note… That stands true even without using the Midnight Show pack.  The character can also disguise himself in uniforms of German soldiers.  Warning about this… German soldiers can detect you are in disguise.  The disguise is meant to be used to quickly pass areas that would be otherwise impossible.  You can also operate some of the larger weapons so that you can shoot the German zeppelins out of the sky.  Using these guns is rather slow because they almost seem to be on industrial hand wheels.

Some of the harder parts of the game were having the main character get behind enemy lines, and destroy major weapon emplacements.

I give the game a 7 out of 10.  This is mainly because of the repetition of type of game being released.

This game is available for the XBox, PS3, and also the PC.

Los Angeles, Calif. — Pandemic™ Studios, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS), today announced that the open world action sandbox game The Saboteur™ is available today. As the game hits store shelves today, console players can download a free* content pack (DLC) called ‘The Midnight Show’. The sexy pack unlocks a V.I.P room at the game’s cabaret ‘The Belle de Nuit’ including several sultry cinematics, unveils an all-new mini-game, and unlocks five seedy hiding spots in Paris. The downloadable content also gives players the ability to unlock nudity in the game, allowing them to make their own choice regarding the game’s maturity. All new console copies of The Saboteur contain a single use download code for ‘The Midnight Show’ redeemable through the game on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace and PlayStation® Store. Owners of the PC version will have automatic access ‘The Midnight Show’ without an additional download. For console players who wish to buy the ‘The Midnight Show’ DLC pack as a stand-alone download, they may do so on Xbox LIVE for 240 MSFT points and for $2.99 at the PlayStation Store.

“The Saboteur is unlike any other WWII action game. It paints a picture of Nazi-occupied Paris that is corrupt, riddled with danger and more than a little sexy. ‘The Midnight Show’ DLC takes all of this edginess to the next level, but in an authentic, organic way,” said Nick Earl, Senior Vice President and Group General Manager at Electronic Arts. “This feels like the Director’s Cut of the game. We’re very proud to have the opportunity to deliver this alternate experience with a DLC pack that is so polished and robust.”

The Saboteur is set in World War II France and takes players through the seedy underbelly of Paris as hero Sean Devlin sets off on a revenge mission. Inspired by a true story, The Saboteur stars Sean Devlin who, motivated by personal revenge, fights, climbs, and races through open-world Paris, sneaking into the heart of the Nazi operations and sabotaging their every move. With the help of the French Resistance, the British intelligence, an arsenal of weaponry, street smarts and brawn, players will exact revenge on those who get in his way. From derailing trains and blowing up zeppelins to scaling famous Parisian landmarks, this action hero uses a broad range of weapons, explosives and vehicles to get the job done.

As Sean takes down enemies, the citizens of Paris are empowered to resist the tyrannical Third Reich and their eyes open to the colorful world around them. This innovative mechanic, called the ‘Will to Fight,’ will change the way Paris is seen and felt – from a dark and oppressed policed state to a bright and inspired world where the citizens fight back. As the player executes acts of sabotage against the occupying force, color returns to the stylized black and white world – both figuratively and literally.

The Saboteur is available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, and the PC and is rated “M for Mature” by the ESRB and “18+”by PEGI.  For more information on The Saboteur, please visit http://www.thesaboteurgame.com/ or get the latest news on www.twitter.com/pandemicstudios.
