10 Overlooked Video Games We All Know Are True Classics

10. The Saboteur

The majority of World War games have something in common: More often than not, you are a fighter on the front lines. That may be a soldier or a pilot, perhaps even commanding a ship, but either way, you’re at the front.

The Saboteur does things differently. What if you weren’t a soldier but a freedom fighter? Based in 1940s Paris, The Saboteur puts you the shoes of Captain Sean Develin, as you fight against the occupying Nazi forces. Not by all-out war, but with stealth and sabotage.

The basic idea is to aid the French resistance and to help give the occupied people hope.

The game uses an interesting method to show the level of hope, too. An area that is heavily occupied will be black and white, whereas if an area is free, it will be awash in colour and sport a resistance symbol. The art direction of this game is fascinating and rare to see.

Unfortunately, for the Pandemic Studios, this was their swan song as they closed soon after the release, however, this is not a reason for you not to check out this unique game.
