However, as Sean frees a part of the city, rich, vivid colors are restored in that certain part. The dark clouds and miserly background provide a striking contrast on the Nazi flags and armbands, which will ultimately transfer to you the depressed feeling the city is filled with. Overall, The Saboteur has a lot to offer its players, all it takes is some polishing to take it into the heights it is meant to fly to. The game has minor glitches and hiccups, but these unintentional events lift the game’s tone whenever they occur so they are really not a problem. It effectively sets the mood of the game along with the nice background music that has tunes ripped out straight from the 1940s. It is the great use of colors that draws attention to the game, the red emblem of the Nazis and their blood draws a stark contrast to the general black and white game. Sean can blend in with the Nazi crowd using disguises and can use limited violent behavior to fend off unwanted attention.
And as with the mission, stealth is the key to the game. These perks are special skills that can be levelled up for a certain number of times build them up from level 1 to level 3 and you will have an easier time on the mission proper. These acts, along with missions, unlock nice rewards and Perks. This inevitably distracts the player from the game’s mission, but nevertheless, it is immensely fun.
Like Grand Theft Auto, he can punch and kick and beat out innocent bystanders or grab out drivers from their cars and speed away with the stolen vehicle. Sean can destroy both German and local properties and people. Ever since Sean’s life took a dramatic turn, the city of Paris became black and white, with bold color accents signifying the Nazi rule. He wastes no time extracting revenge on the Nazis, and at the same time inspiring the local Parisians to stand up for themselves.
A drunkard and serial womanizer, Sean’s smart mouth lands him and his company in Nazi ridden Paris wherein he gets into trouble and witnesses how his friend was murdered right before his very eyes. As the intro rolls on, you will come to understand the role Sean has, and how he was before and after the incident. This young Frenchman played a major role in French liberation: although he ran in Grand Prix racing (he actually won two Monaco awards in his Bugatti) and disinteistted himself from the war, he joined the Special Operation Executive (a British initiative against Axis forces) and managed to infiltrate Paris in 1942, greatly helping the French resistance, although a year later he was captured and in 1945 executed.Set in the elegant town of Paris, you play the part of Sean Devlin a racer on a mission to avenge his friend’s death under the cruel hands of a Nazi official. Our protagonist, Sean Devlin, is partly based on William Grover-Williams, one of the French heroes of the time. One of the most striking features of the game of its staging is the transition from black and white to the color of occupied areas when they are released, and the gameplay in which we will have to sabotage the Nazi installations and plans, recalling both aspects to films such as Schindler’s List and Sin City, and within the scope of video games Assassin’s Creed, Hitman and the GTA saga.
The Saboteur is a third-person action video game developed by Pandemic Studios and published by Electronic Arts, whose story takes place during the Nazi occupation of Paris in World War II.
