The Saboteur

The Last Time we heard anything about this action/stealth extravaganza was two years ago. Since then, Pandemic have made Lord of the Rings: Conquest and Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, so as The Saboteur's release approaches we're hoping it'll reverse Pandemic's trend of rather shoddy releases.

What we're seeing of The Saboteur now reminds us a little of Velvet Assassin. So if that game has been sewing the seeds of gaming lust in your bosom, then maybe The Saboteur will also be right up your alley. Although a game about an Irishman planting bombs in the name of freedom might not be the ideal basis for a plot in the current political climate.

Technical Ecstasy

The game is beint) built on Pandemic's new proprietary graphics and game engines. Odin and Wildstar. We're hoping this will signify a new start for their games after some recent failures.

Never Say Die!

You play an Irish man, Sean, who is living in Nazi-occupied Paris during WWII. After witnessing a number of atrocities, Sean finds himself unable to remain neutral any longer, and starts to fight the Nazis.

Sabotage

To achieve his goals. Sean gets stuck into the Nazis with bombs, grenades and other explosive devices, generally trying to cause as much trouble as possible and drive off the occupying forces. Politically correct, it ain't.

Master Of Reality

The placing of this explosive is a positive action of resistance, so the bleak greyness of the area is affected by colour. Think of your character as the Tony Hart of WWII, bringing colour and hope to the lives of the people.

Heaven And Hell

One of the game's core concepts is Will To Fight, where neighbourhoods are colour-coded depending on their revolutionary sentiment. Grey areas are despondent, while colourful ones are full of people eager to fight against the Nazis.

Volume 4

The game is set in what Pandemic calls 'a blockbuster open-world gaming experience, full of weapons, vehicles, missions and action. We're sure there'll be some stealth in there too.
