  • The saboteur is a great game. Worth playing, worth buying.

    And if you think it's unrealistic, go play call of f*ck. That's a shitty overrated unrealistic game.

  • im trying to beat this game right now. Im having a blast just blowing shit up.

  • IT"S SO UNREALISTIC. I WISH GAMES WERE BORING AND HARD AS REAL LIFE, BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO HAVE FUN. -.-

  • forget everything you know about WWII? ok so, france was never ocuppied by the nazi, all the vehicles and guns are from a distant future, hitler's voice coming out of the speakers is just a hallucination, paris looks like it does at present....

    I would recommend not listening to gamespots dumb reviews, either try ign or just try the game yourself, these assholes have no idea what they are talking about and just give good games a bad reputation

  • Do you think the game worth 20 pounds? I really like open world games and had enough of GTA IV and Just cause 2...

  • @roms3

    I've just finished playing it and it's pretty good when you get into it......though it's very much a GTA clone. If you don't wanna pay 20 quid for it do what I did and get yourself a used copy from AMAZON for about 6 quid. At that sort of price it's well worth it...

  • @paulstevencassidy

    Thanks, and how long is the story? Is there something else to do after it ends?

  • @roms3 Took me about 20 hours so not huge but the playing area is massive. There's plenty of "freeplay targets" too which involve blowing up sniper nests and armoured vehicles etc. which you earn money for. they're not side missions as such and there are literally hundreds of these which gets repetative after a while but if you're the type of player who likes to go for 100% you could be playing for weeks! As for when it finished?....I pulled the plug and moved on to the next game....

  • go fuckyerself arseways

  • @Renata129683111187

    Go fyck you self

  • @1:12 but of course it makes a lot more sense to detonate a nuke in the favela in the middle of a metropol like Rio, just to kill like 9 enemies ;) how did CoD get that high scores, if realism is key??

  • ahhh very very fun game. its a mix of gta 4 /assassins creed . one of my favorite games. mad underrated. fun missions where u can go in different ways. either sneak in thru the roof or gun blazing. or ram the front doors with a car. loved the ending too. plus u fight in a revolution against nazi's ! liked the story too. too bad the company went bankrupt or something after the release.

  • Can this guy be anymore uncomfortable on camera?

  • This guy is retarted

  • this game deserves alot better rating.

  • In Saboteur you can absorb bullets...true.

    In Call of Duty you can absorb bullets, kill waves of enemies, but I forgot...that's realistic.

  • @DeathStar2142 Great point. Right now I'm starting to get fed up of all this over hyped Call-Of-Duty bullshit. I refer to it as; Call of Booty: Modern Whore-fare 3 now :)

  • @Vortez137 call of duty; black cocks

  • @yegonpro Good one. Call of Booty: World of Whores

  • This is a good review.

  • the review isn't the greatest seeing as he keeps saying the game is easy try the fecking hard setting and lets see if you take 40 bullets to the face and see if you regenerate quickly. this is one of my most played games on the 360 after completeing it multiple times and the perks just add to the game once completed the shooting driving sneaking all work but sneaking can be hard at times but i got through the majority of mission with out getting spotted remember nazis can't look up

  • What a fuking retard..., he talks about how "ridiculous" this game is, and it takes you away from reality...., yeah , because GTA and CALL OF DUTY are the very defenition of real life...

    And you hear any of this bullshit on the review of those games? no.

  • this guy is a dumbass

  • Kinda wish shawn devilin was Russian

  • i love this game because your playing as an irishman.

    ps to the idiots.read my name :)

  • 5:59 ''and its a lot of fun to poop''

    ...

  • This or Darksiders early

  • ONE tough irish man? All irish men are tough!

  • I love this game...its the only sandbox game thats not set in fuckin New York

  • the sabba tour?

  • Gamespot go back play your black ops with new map pack lol

  • i hate how reviewers talk about this game, like the fact that he can single handedly take down hordes of nazi and absorbs artillery, i think they made the game thinking that he is a one man army, its not supposed to be a serious game, and i love The Saboteur...R.I.P. Pandemic

  • One of my fav games ever. RIP Pandemic

  • bulletproof skin, they were obviously on easy, and they also never stood in front of a terror shotgun

  • this guy already looks retarded(as in he looks as if he's mentally disabled)So i wouldn't expect him to know anything about history

  • Fail @the burning zeppelin. There is either helium inside it (in which case you will fucking choke) or hydrogen, which burns faster and will still choke you.

  • erase everything i know of WW2? i know of a french resistance. should i erase that to believe this game?

  • @schlachtaf I would! The sad and pathetic "resistance" by the Maquis compared to the battles of WW2 is something I wouldn't think about. The French didn't have anything close to an army by other country standards until 1945 when WW2 was won with an allied victory! I've been to France several times and it seems everyone forgot Normandy and the massive death toll and still act like rude ass%%$^ to Americans. And no its not me, they treated my entire family that way.

  • This guy is a fucking tool...

  • ¨This is not a most original game ...¨ WTF ?!?!?!?!  What game looks like Saboteur ?!?! Fuck you GameSpot !

  • The reviewer reminds me of Mike Myers for some reason

  • 4:50 Satellite dishes? The fuck?

  • This guy must be dumber than he looks like, not ww2 related? The whole game has something to do with ww2. Also he said that the stealth is to hard to remain "hidden" i actually dont have a problem with it ,its pretty easy to be stealthy. So f*** you gamespot!! XD

  • is this game like creed at all? if you had to compare it to another game what would it be?

  • @Elvindrummer13 Grand Theft Auto, Prototype, Sly Cooper, etc.

  • @johnp0729 thanks

  • Wow gamespot doesn't now there WW2 history not just America and allies wiped the Nazi and Hitlers ass that there was a guy named William Grover who was in the SOE and was a grand prix racer. Every thing is correct expect he wasn't Irish. This game is based off of his life.

  • @xXRayray64Xx looooooool wiped nazi and hitler ass.That's kinda insulting to the allies don't you think :D

  • @ipimees how is it insulting they did fuck hitlers shit up

  • @xXRayray64Xx wiping ones ass is what one does after he/she as taken a shit, btw.

  • little in common with ww2?!!?!?!?!? wtf!?!!!?! THIS WAS THE WAR FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD PULL UR HEADS UT UR ARSES

  • It's funny this guy mentions the black and white feature because he's analyzing the game in that way. He's all, this is silly and isn't depressing like the real war, therefore it has no merit or can't be a story of substance all on its own. This guy needs to go read a fictional book and have a creative writing teacher explain to him why literary devices exist & learn how to capture his imagination once in awhile because there's something seriously wrong with a person that takes it all literally.

  • But ya, at least Gamespot gives the game some credit for being somewhat original and actually explains its other flaws and strengths.

  • IGN could learn a thing or two from GameSpot.

  • My jaw hit the floor when this cretin said that this game has little to do with World War II. The character, Sean Devlin, is based on A REAL PERSON, William Grover-Williams. I hope this cretinous reprobate does not sill have a job.

  • this game has very little to do with WWII? it's based in France during 1940s. your main character is apart of the French revolution. you're killing Nazis. everything i've just listed is WWII related. do i need to go on?

  • @aidenmccloskey AND ITS BASED ON A REAL PERSON to :)

  • @9nxt shit, really? who's it based on?

  • @aidenmccloskey an irish man called william i dnt remember last name he ran around paris blowing up german things and was the inspiration of the french reblellion

  • @9nxt instantly when you said 'an Irish man named William' - i knew you were wrong. William's a protestant name while Ireland is a Catholic country. you would rarely get Williams in Ireland. however you were right about his name. his name is William Charles Frederick Grover-Wiliams. he's a French Grand Prix driver, born in France to an English father and a French mother. fought for the SOE and was killed by Nazis in 1945.

  • @aidenmccloskey well if u knew this why ask :D and im sorry got my facts rong

  • @9nxt i didn't know at the time. once you mentioned it i went and done some research and that was my reply.

  • @aidenmccloskey thats good :)

  • @aidenmccloskey french revolution. LOL

  • @Philhouse88 thanks for pointing out the mistake. i meant French Resistance. however if the Resistance had been successful in taking down the Nazis in France, it would have been a revolution. the Resistance are definitely a revolutionary movement considering they were trying to make fundamental changes such as the way of thinking from the fascist Nazis and visualising a change in the future of Europe.

  • @aidenmccloskey I suppose so, i just see them as an occupying force though rather than a native ruling autocracy such as Louis XVI and his fine azz bitch Marie Antoinette n was only 4 1/2 years homie, ain't no poland circa late 1980s.

  • @aidenmccloskey In short, the saboteur is a BADASS game.

  • @Philhouse88 indeed! it's a shame we won't see a sequel to this game considering Pandemic Studios was shut down. goodbye Saboteur and goodbye Star Wars: Battlefront! you were great games.

  • @aidenmccloskey It's a bit more about the holocaust.

  • @aidenmccloskey

    french revolution my fuckin white ass. french revolution happened fuckin 1789-1799 !

  • @HerrBauer96 yes, i know i was referring to the French Resistance. sorry about the mistake.

  • @aidenmccloskey

    oh okay, sorry for being unfriendly.

  • @HerrBauer96 it's cool, i don't care.

  • @aidenmccloskey Maybe it's because the Nazi's weren't gunned down in the middle of the street by a guy with a shoulder bag. Come on, you don't really think that's how WWII happened do you? Just because the game's not realistic doesn't mean it's not good. I don't get why people get so upset over the tiniest little criticisms. No game is perfect.

  • @SalientK no shit - however it's still a WWII game. Sean Devlin's character is based off a French Grand Prix driver who was part of the French Resistance - it takes place in France, 1940 - 1944, where Nazis patrolled the streets - just as it's depicted in this game. no it's not realistic, but it's certainly a WWII game. claiming it has very little to do with WWII is ridiculously stupid.

  • @aidenmccloskey "no it's not realistic" - Which is exactly his point, so what are you blathering about? Yes, it takes place in France between 1940 and 1944. Yes, those dates also coincide with actual WWII dates. That is about where the similarities end. He didn't say it wasn't a WWII game. You just interpreted it that way because you're bothered by the fact that he would offer any criticism of the game whatsoever, no matter how valid. What do you expect from a game review? Uncritical praise?

  • Comment removed

  • @SalientK are you retarded? no, that's not a rhetorical question and no, the similarities don't end there - i just listed them all. can't you read? it has a lot to do with WWII. that's indisputable. end of. i'm not getting defensive and i don't really care - but when you claim something it's not, when it is - it's rather moronic.

  • @aidenmccloskey So now I'm retarded because I disagree. Obviously you like this game very much, so I won't say anything "bad" about it anymore lest I hurt your feelings.

  • @aidenmccloskey they mean its not tht realistic

  • this game is one of the best of all-time in my opinion...i had so much fun on this from hour 1 to hour 35 after i completely finished everything on the map...very good game

  • eraafjoehaiulrhjrbvweiqughweoq sorry i was wiping the splooge off of my key board.

  • Gamespot = Proven epic fail (Proof is the firing of Jeff Gerstmann  for doing an impartial review)

  • I enjoy that a game reviewer suddenly knows all the details of the Nazis invasion of France, and therefore calls this game "historically innacurate" (i.e. nothing to do with WW2).

  • You know gamespot, if the game is to easy for ya, it's pretty self-explanatory that you should try playing on the harder difficulity settings -.- DUMBASSES!

  • one of the best games ever...great atmosphere...fantastic graphics...awesome soundtrack ...great missions...only cons not realistic enough and ai....

  • I absolutely love this game and I have had the most fun with this game since gta 4

  • I completely agree that gamespot sucks at reviewing. All the clips in this video are on the easy level. I love how they try to insult the game with really flowery language...fail gamespot....

  • @FirstSkilletFan He was pretty much praising the game at every turn, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

  • @FirstSkilletFan ign isn't much better

  • @FirstSkilletFan no i think they are good and at least they bow down to call of duty

  • @FirstSkilletFan Gamespot and GT do the best reviews its just this game didnt do so great

  • Gamespot are the worst reviewers

  • does this game have trophies?

  • Tom Mc Shea shows signs of down syndrome

  • @410MaXiMuS what i was thinking

  • @410MaXiMuS lol why did i run into someone that i subscribe to?

  • @stevesk8r - I guess it's a small youtube world lol

  • @410MaXiMuS jesus i guess so

  • This reviewer is a total retard. A goofy version of WW2? Why? Cause the war started when the US arrived to help? really? And don't start with regenerating health, ever played COD? Also, he has NO sense of stealth. From what I've heard, you can disguise yourself as a geman soldier? That's awesome! Highly underrated game.

  • He complains about the stealth. Has he heard of silenced weapons or disguises? Or does he simply walk into a compound clueless wondering why he gets shot..?

  • This is proberbly one of the best games I've ever had the fortune to play surpassing game like gta and other simmillar games im sat here hoping for a sequel or another simmillary designed title this game works were others have failed

  • is there any other black and white video game to ps3?

  • @yassinyou im not sure, but the wii has madworld, which is very awesome.

  • Because you're not an American grunt, on the frontline shooting down snipers and infantry, in a very fixed linear storyline...Then yep this game doesnt relate to WW2...

    In as much as this is set in the 40s, IN FRANCE!!!! HELPING THE FRENCH RESISTANCE!!!

    The games style is fantastic.

  • what a douche, jeez couldn't they hire someone normal?!

  • Maybe this guy-reviewer, has something smart to say but I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HIM! Open your mouth, speak louder!! Anyway, I'm playing this game currently, and it's a blast :D

    I love Shaun (main protagonist) :D He has something, you'll surely like him. If you are wondering if this game is any good, trust me that it is. Play it. ^^

  • Its a ripoff from GTA

  • @ATRUEMiSTAKE It really, REALLY isn't.

  • @sTommys Eeh,yeah,it is. My bf has it,has played and completed the whole f***in game,and I am a nerd of GTA,so I know what I´m talking about.

  • @ATRUEMiSTAKE So you havn't played it... nice... and yeah that's what you tend to do in games complete them, it's not a bad thing...

  • @sTommys I dont want to argue,but everything is just as in GTA,its just a different theme. And no,I havent played the game,but I have watched my bf day in and day out,so I really know what I´m talking about.

  • dumbass this game is about the ressistance durning WW2 it has everything to do with it

  • gamespot is boring

  • satellite dish? wtf dude? space exploration wasnt until post ww2

  • This game is hard with alot of lag,

    Go PC! =]

  • jews shall play this game

  • i loved this game, loved the music, graphics, driving through the streets with seans aurora

  • Look at the fag who is going the review ahahahahah Come on Gameshit. Get your stuff together. Losing all good reviewers and picking up fag's.

  • "its not the most original open world game out there" well sir im going to disagree and asy it probably one of the MOST original open world games out there

  • he must be really shit at stealth then, its piss easy to go through a mission being stealthy, and if you play the game on hard its you die im seconds...

  • If you fucking don't like how you "absorb bullets" then stop PLAYING EASY! play harder...

  • no wonder stupid americans think every german is a nazi

  • @Gurumeierhans but not all are americans

  • @vaardal100

    true

    some british people too

  • BEST NAZI-KILLIN' GAME EVAR! R.I.P. Pandemic...

  • Wait? WWII is but a backdrop? Killing Nazis in Europe is the whole game....guess it's different.

  • I don't get it... this game has a regenerative health system - so they pick on it coz of that. But what about every modern shooter that ditched health kits and has regenerative health as well?!

    Also, how come BioShock uses health kits (unlike other fps games at the time of release and today) and manages to be an experience that is much more cool and amazing than the critically acclaimed Modern Warfare 2, without getting picked on as well.

  • its a mixture of splinter cell and commandos! :D

  • He's wearing a Psychonauts shirt!!!

  • fantastic game i enjoyed it more than mafia 2, red dead etc it just has so much atmosphere. even fun getting the ambient dot things lol. fuckin hell bleedin

  • @marketman316

    Lol, well said! I just traded red dead for it!

  • This is much better than Mafia 2. Even the graphics are better!

  • @WatsDaWurd this was mutch better than mafia 2 because mafia 2 was disapointing

  • Ahh.. Killing Nazis. Lovely

  • gamespot thinks its easy because they play them on the easiest mode for footage.... but if you dont have a vagina.... play on hard and guess what! ITS FUCKING HARD

  • Stealth IS an option! I've played through the entire game in the most difficult mode, and conclude the game 100% by cleanin every emplacement on the map and getting every perk... and most of it undercover... just have to be smart... if sneaking was easy... everybody could be a special agent!

  • I've thought of buying this game, but after seeing this review I'm not really sure. I was thought this game was really serious and stealthy.

    I'll have to think about this.

  • Seriously this guy is stupid just because you aren't in the army doesn't mean it hasn't got anything to do with WWII

  • 3:29-3:31 wtf?

  • worth renting?

  • @Camps2630 worth buying :)

  • Gamespot dosent understand that its not strickly about world war 2 its just in the same time period

  • This or Mafia II?

  • @love4remind This! Mafia 2 is to short

  • @love4remind Mafia 2

  • why would the Nazi's allow racing?,i'm just saying...

  • its mike myers!! XD

  • Just because there are no Americans, or storming of Normandy, doesn't mean it has nothing to do with World War 2....

  • @absolutereviews agreed

  • I'm about to press the "new game" button right now for this. I hope it's good. Oh well, even if it's not amazing, I got it $17.99. So, as long as it's good i'll be OK.

  • I was trying to blow up one of the nazi's super arty things. These two nazis got suspicious of me and were following me around. So I shot them.

  • that pssy was playing on casual

  • i hope this reviewer is watching this, cause if he is, fuck you you faggot.

  • A hidden gem 

  • Fuckin' "leesure". Does he wear "leethur" coats too? Twat.

  • he says nazis and evil so often...does this ugly fat fuck have a grudge?

  • This game is LOT of fun. If Sean dies while trying then you have to rethink your plan (the Jailbreak mission took me a few attempts - an adrenaline pumping moment when I finally busted the guy out and made my getaway). the B & W of the Nazi areas really gives it a 1940's feel. One thing though, it's a real shame that you cannot view the lookout points more than once. My fave laugh is the Nazi race caller at Saarbrucken announcing someone has left their car lights on in the car park!

  • "Other situations require a lighter touch." *Punches Nazi head-on in the balls and snaps his neck.* Yep. Much lighter.

  • Wow this game is awesome !! I've just started the first maybe 45mins ... I just got lucky with skylar lol the game voice actting I think is great very witty !!!! This game is a most play . From the very first fight the combat feels very good !!!

  • I just bought this game at walmart for 19.96$ :-) Also inside was the MIDNIGHT SHOW redeem code :-) woohooo tata 's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love how every toher video game has the same crazy stuff like one guy killing over 5 in one spot but they complain about it in this game come on gamespot was to be good but now they are dumb as all hell thumbs up if you agree

  • How is it "ridiculous" that one guy can blast his way through Nazi Germany? Did they complain that it was "ridiculous" that one Marine could fight his way through an army of aliens and forces of Hell on Earth? Or when one Italian plumber took down a giant turtle/dinosaur to save the princess? It's a video game, when did they start having to make incredible sense?

  • @VelvetKevorkian Because aliens and magical turtles are fiction, while this game is meant to be non-fiction.

  • What! r you kidding me? this was one of the best games i ever played. funny. drama . stealth and a EXTREAMLY GOOD 3d person guning! i was a saboteur !

    . personaly this beats gta by a long shot. ( im not a perv but with all the sexuality IN the game it was a bit dissapointing that their was no optional sex to have in the game ppl who played mass effect would agree )

  • ok

    ive finally realized why they see games are too easy

    BECAUSE THEY PLAY THEM ON VERY EASY

    this games a bitch on normal

    a bitch that ud like to take to your house and have dinner with

    and live the rest of your life with

    and die on the same day in 1000000 years after marriage

  • @ArcticTerraShark i wish that rooster teeth gave game reviews cause they might actually play on all difficulties and do everything before talking about it. im just sick of lame gamestop reviews

  • Blowing up Nazi Camps and shooting people in the face isnt 'goofy'

  • this is deffo one of my favorite games!

  • its a game its meant to be like ur a juggy

  • the game isnt in ww2 yet its in the moments before how come peps dont get that

  • @atyabbaig The nazis didnt invade france till may 1940... thats 8 months into the 2nd world war. Where do you get youre bullshit theories from, retard ?

  • @1LetThereBeRock1 o yea like your a fucking expert at these things ass hole its before and during the start of ww2 god damn

  • @atyabbaig uuummm so why did you say it was just before the war and nothing else... you gotta be clearer

  • @1LetThereBeRock1 ok then

  • @atyabbaig hahahahahaha lettherberock was right, and now you're upset. you were blatantly wrong. and you're a complete and total moron for thinking this isnt ww2. we all laugh at you.
