Don't feed them, boyo.

No. But do I need to? If you look at Metacritic, the game has received generally mediocre reviews. And although I have bought mediocre games in the past, I wouldn't spend more than a fiver on one. (I bought Mirror's Edge several weeks ago because it was only a fiver. If it had been more than that, I wouldn't have bothered.)

I'd rather take the word of two or three trusted forumites than use Metacritic as any kind of guide to quality.

The Saboteur has a few rough edges that brought the review scores down, but it more than makes up for them in other areas.

This is strawberry floatin' horrible. From the way he jumps, arms at side, to the horrible, horrible 15 year old combat system. It also looks completely naff.

Then there's the story and the laughable amount of errors. He's so aggressively Irish - shouting just that at a Nazi who calls him British - yet...he's from Belfast. With a horrible Canadian-does-Irish Dublin accent.

Just utter mince. Deserves the 5 EDGE gave it.

Shame, I was hoping this would be good.

This game is awesome. In a massively flawed way obviously.

Yeah, I've played a lot worse than this. It has flaws (massive annoying, near-game breaking flaws) but it has great charm with it. Was one achievement off of 1000GP before I sold it.

I gave up after 5th missions. Quite frustrating game.

I quite liked it, bought it recently. It is pretty difficult though, so maybe that's why people don't like it.

I liked this game probably in the same way i love over the top movies like independence day you know its not going to win awards for acting but its good solid fun

Alright, this game has one of the lamest achievements there are in the whole of gaming.

Chain Smoker (5G) - Spend a lot of time idling around doing nothing.

What you've got to do is smoke 100 cigarettes, something he does automatically. Oh, and it doesn't count unless he goes through the whole animation.

Going to really get into the same in the next week or so. I've played the start and it grabbed me but I've become distracted.

I like this, and for 18 euro, its brilliant.

Yes. Nazis still recognised me when I was in disguise.

I picked this up yesterday for £13 in HMV, whats with the black & white? Its seems like that game a while ago the prisoner of war one where you had to break out and sneak around a german army camp?

Bought this for a tenner today and it seems a decent bit of fun. It's mental how much damage you can take, though. I was climbing up a building, getting shot to gooseberry fool by Nazis, but not falling off. I got to the top and accidentally ran off the other side and fell to the street - a good 30 or so feet and yet I managed to walk it off despite being full of bullet holes. Also, most vehicles can tank insane amounts of damage before they blow up. It's like they're all tanks or something. It's also crazy how you can scale a building like spider-man, yet sometimes you can't even jump a 8ft wall.

I honestly prefer the black and White vibe to when things move to colour again - the game looks lovely in BW but a bit shoddy in colour.
