I like how he uses Ω when he talks about the resistance.

Isn't it kind of offensive that they made a computer game about the French resistance and just had to make its leader (?) anything but French? What would have been so terrible about a French main character that they had to import some Irish man all willy-nilly?

Yeah, I am definitely not playing it now, just knowing that the main character isn't actually French. How retarded.

Did Yahtzee ever review a Dereck Smart game? Now THAT would be something.

Is the Irish leader thing historically accurate though? I mean were some of the resistance fighters maybe even the leaders imported?

Yeah, the concept of the Saboteur was based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Grover-Williams, who was a race car driver who ended up working for the British secret service assisting the French resistance. ; )

ps. This game is bugged to fuck anyway if you're using a Radeon card and/or SLI/Crossfire. Crashes galore, barely playable when it does work.

Sean Devlin doesn't lead the resistance, he acts as nothing more than muscle. His motivation for nearly all the game is simple revenge, and the actual French resistance leaders just use him to do dirty work. Even at the very end of the game it doesn't seem like Sean gives two shits about the French, but rather only cares about the sister of his dead best friend... who happens to be French. The other non-French protagonist is a saucy British spy, and it is made plainly clear neither she nor her government cares about the French.

But yeah, the game is painfully bug-ridden.

One of his better ones.
