IGN: The Saboteur Preview
The Saboteur is an open-world game set in and around Paris. And while there are sidequests and numerous other things to do outside the main missions, this is distinctly not a GTA clone. The mood is, at times, very heavy and the very nature of a Nazi-occupied city limits the madcap frivolity seen in gangster-themed open-world games. It's not uncommon to walk the streets of Paris, smoking a cigarette, trying to mind your own business, only to be disturbed by the cries of a civilian as they are forced to their knees by a Nazi officer and executed on the street. Yes, you can intervene, though for the purposes of our demo, Pandemic played things low-key and didn't stop the acts of cruelty. I'm not trying to suggest you're playing Schindler's List: The Game, but there is a bit more angst in the everyday going-ons of this world than in most videogames
