Actually, that bit about getting an achievement for climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower and landing in a pond was also already done and done better by Crackdown, yet another sandbox game. Only difference was that it wasn't the Eiffel Tower in Crackdown, just the tallest building in the game, but it still sounds like yet another blatant rip to me.

The president at the time, Andrew Johnson, said he would ?recognize the accomplished facts? of any Fenian assault.

A few facts:
Annoying climbing system? Check
Obvious plot twists? Check
Uninteresting characters? Check
Gameplay-destructive artsy bullshit? Check
Repetitive missions? Check
Overwhelmingly bad accents? (Motherfucking) Check

Fun? Oh hell yes, that's a check!
It takes the right mindset to enter this game (or any other in that regard). If you're looking for some shallow, destructoidic fun while having a blast with the freedom of movement (albeit, a bit screwed up one) this game is actually pretty good.

A good review, although I think it deserves a "Like GTA But" tag, like everything recently has been getting a "Like God of War But" tag. The game does have it's moments, and if the story was done RIGHT, it would have been a really good game. But... As it stands, I wish I'd saved my 60$. It sucks too, the Saboteur was one of the games I'd been looking forward to for a while.

Looking back on it, The Soggy Biscuit reference is quite possibly the nastiest thing you've referenced yet.

I bring this up because Google is your friend. Except maybe just this once.

he has mentioned it a few times, but never done a full review on it, but look at some of his reviews of other mmorpg's and you'll hear conparisions to it, and he does in fact think it is as good as mmorpg's are going to get.

An an Englishman I find that very offensive. [End Sarcasm]

^^Even writing that as a joke makes me cringe.


Although this game does not appeal on various grounds - Black and White? Take that noire crap and shove it.

ROFL. This is probs the funniest one so far. "Hitler shoots himself just in time for the Russians to turn up and laugh at his Monobollock." :):)

Personally, I enjoyed this game. Probably because I never get an end of amusement in blowing things that are Nazi up but while reading through this thread I was thinking to myself "how to make a game based on a war that is not powered armored space marines or WW2?" and the answer is not existent. Well I suppose the game industry should at least TRY something other than WW2, modern combat with either Russians, North Koreans, Arabs or Americans, or Space Marines such as say a stealth/survival game based in Vietnam or something relating to Korea. Oh but who am I kidding this is the internet lets make a modern combat and put tits on it and it will sell a ton.
