The Saboteur - anyone tried it?

[Azazel]

I've been interested in giving this one a try. I think it's just been released (or is about to be). Looks like it has a lot of potential, but it could also be a load of junk in actuality.

Anyone had any firsthand impressions of it?

[caladein]

GameSpot says it's out 8 December so probably nothing yet.

[Xurtan]

The official website reads like Assassin's Creed - With Guns!  I'll keep an eye out but not holding my breath on it being worthwhile.

[Samwise]

From the gameplay trailers it looks like GTA IV with more shooting and less driving.  Which is an impressive feat to pull off.   

[Azazel]

Hopefully, fewer needy cousins as well.

[Azazel]

Gamingheaven doesn't have a Story section for their score.

Yea, that's right, I skipped to the score. WHAT OF IT.

Edit: Neither does IGN. Surprised I haven't noticed this before.

Doesn't seem worth getting for full price.

Only way to see beeg freench teeteez is to purchase it at full price.

I think it's fucking brilliant. It allows for R-Rated content and if kids manage to see it, you only have who bought the game to blame because it's normally locked unless parents don't do their due diligence.

...because mass killing is ok for kids while teeteez is bad?

[Surlyboi]

In this country, yes.

Hmm, I smell a business opportunity. Does the obscenity of breast feeding disgust you? Worry no more, in our new care center your baby can drink substitute milk from a bottle while watching Rambo IV and other selected feature films!

I got this for Play-Asia's full price. Which is close to full price to you Americans, but more like half price to us Australians!  Had a play with it, and it seems ok, 3 missions in, but I decided to finish my playthrough of Prototype before getting too distracted by it.

Skip most of the side mission stuff in this game otherwise you'll get bored very fast.

[Azazel]

I've actually been enjoying the side mission sabotage stuff. Then again, during weekday/workdays I don't get to play consoles really, I'm lucky to have 3-4 rounds of a Battlefield game before turning it off. I've been sitting myself down on the weekend, turning the other TV onto documentaries and such, and then going around making explosions while watching the docos....

I can see passive TV making that work. I was just playing the game straight up and it eventually got really dull. It had something to it though and it's sad that it was Pandemics last game.
