Mixed feelings, too much of an arcade for a Saboteur title to the point of exhaustion, even in the easy mode; at least until you learn the tricks of each level.
Also I disagree with the way of handling the endings, let’s say that to get the good-ending you have to do a literally "perfect" run; in my opinion, that’s a bit unfair...
Plot wise, there are a few hints about what’s going on but also many things are left open for speculation; that’s not bad at all though.
Graphics and sound-wise, it’s just fine; however I think the Amstrad CPC graphics mode is a bit unfair to the overall capabilities of the machine (while that’s a bit debatable though..)
Anyway, I had some good time with it but honestly I prefer the previous series (Saboteur 1 & 2) spirit.

A good sequel to Saboteur! and the Avenging Angel. At first it may seem difficult, as it doesn't explain itself much and the fighting is a bit different than in the previous games. This isn't one of those games that constantly gives you signposts about what to do and where to go. Often the real challenge is in figuring out how to deal with the enemies and the situations. As you learn the ropes it becomes easier and I found myself playing the earlier missions again with better skills.
Saboteur SiO follows the 8-bit home computer (Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum) style of gaming quite strictly. It might not have all the flair of console-style games, but a lot of thought has gone into it and there is no "filler". The graphics options are a nice extra and the soundtrack is good.

I should have played the first Saboteur game in the series so I had an idea as to how the levels were like. For those who buy this game bear in mind that the first level is maze-like and there is no map system to help you navigate. If that appeals to you and you like games with no hand-holding and like to explore then you might enjoy this third entry in the Saboteur series. I'm hoping that as I play further the other levels are more action-packed with more linearity. Otherwise, the graphics are appealing, just play it with the retro graphics option. And the music is awesome. I'm spoiled because I've played metroidvainias so I'm used to seeing a map.

An excellent sequel with a true 8-bit soul. Old school fun and difficulty. The soundtrack is also great!
