I'm not crazy about open-world games. I stop playing most of them well before I ever finish. The one game I got much further in was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but even then I gave up halfway through it. There are just too many things to do, and too many ways for me to get distracted from the main story. I always end up playing too many side-missions and getting bored with the mission structure before I ever get a chance to see the end of the storyline.
Sure, Saboteur is the first open-world game I've played from this generation, but I think it really excels where the others I've played failed. I wasn't overwhelmed with police or firefighter missions, or poorly controlled and frustrating races that were moderately fun but eventually wore me out on the overall game. Surprisingly, despite the fact that the main character in the game is a former professional racer, there are only two races throughout the entire story, and three optional ones to unlock new cars and perks.
