The Saboteur

Great sandbox game that was much better than critics ratings. Graphics and controls were good, but colors are terrible.

I liked this one, but I like any sandbox, historical action-adventure type game. It obviously took some ideas from other games, like climbing/stealth (Assassins Creed), and driving (Grand Theft Auto), but it combined them well to make it work.

The Paris landscape was massive. The creators obviously spent a lot of time working on this game. Why they didn't spend more time on colors and story is something I can't understand. The B&W areas of town (controlled by Nazis) wasn't needed, and the bright reds & yellows had me wondering if something was wrong with my TV.

This game was a lot of fun and should be rented by anyone that liked RDR, AC, or Mafia II. Just ignore the poor colors and crappy stealth features and you will enjoy this one.

How can killing hundreds of Nazis, climbing the Eiffel tower, flying in zeppelins, and blowing up trains not be considered a good time.
