Story:

You, Sean are a Scotsman, from Scotland. Brought to France with the hopes to escape a troubled life. Your best friend a Frenchman accepts you into is house, where his father a mechanic and former racer puts you to work. In the meantime it is just the beginning of the Nazi occupation of France. The story goes on a little longer, and you meet your arch Nemesis _____. Basic plot for this game is revenge. Probably the most simplistic, but reliable plugs in the industry. It takes some doing, but the French resistance and Allies end up getting you to do their dirty work. Your main time in the game will be spent will be spent sabotaging and committing espionage in free play events all around France. The rest will be concluding the story line, I myself am only 35% through because killing Nazi's in a GTA style is a dream come true, so to me the free play events are where this game shines.

Over all score

4 out of 5

Game play & controls:

Like I said before your main time spent playing will be used to destroy and kill Nazi posts, armor, and propaganda. You can do this any number of ways. You can plant bombs (either timed or detonated), vehicles, grenades or rockets. One of my favorites though would have to be when you plant a bomb in your car, drive/aim at your target and jump out. Hopefully if you did it right, you wont be dead, but they will be. The player controls Sean in a 3rd person shooter style orientation. You can take cover, call for back up, and even request a getaway vehicle. Which if you're lucky you can do some massive damage while getting away. But usually you just try to get the hell out of that spot. The controlling of the vehicle can just depend on what vehicle you have at the time, but most of them actually handle better than GTA 3 & 4. While playing you will accomplish certain goals, these goals go towards obtaining perks. These perks are very relevant to the game, unlike some other video games. I have so far achieved about 80% of the perk choices. My favorite so far would have to be the trigger dynamite RDX. You will have fun playing this game, along with the story there are a lot of opportunities to make Nazi Germany pay.

Overall Score

5 out of 5

Side note: The game can be highly offensive to some players. I would advise people 17 and older, only, to play this game. It has strong language throughout and it can get bloody at times. There is also a PSN d/l that you can get where it takes the pasties (censored covered breasts) away. But otherwise, if you're looking for a good open world blow 'em up game? This is the one for you.
