XIII is a competent yet underappreciated shooter. 0
XIII has quite a bit of competition, as it is one of about a million first person shooters on the Xbox. While it doesn't break with any of the gameplay conventions typical to a first-person shooter, it does have a very unique and interesting visual style that adds interest and sets it apart from other games of this type. Story-wise, XIII follows an amnesiac government assassin who may, or may not, have shot the president. Throughout the course of the game, you will find out more about the conspi...

XIII's comic book delivery can't make up for its flat gameplay 0
Last generation, First Person Shooters rose up as the prominent genre for consoles in the wake of the original Halo's success. Out of the hordes of FPS games that were released, 2003's XIII has stood out due to it's unique comic book presentation. The game is actually based on a series of graphic novels, so it is certainly a plot driven title. You play as agent XIII, initially waking up on a beach with a case of amnesia. Action goes down almost immediately. Throughout the story you are t...

One of the very best and most awesome games from one of the most-loathed companies 0
Based on the Belgian graphic novel series from the 1980s and 1990s of the same name about an amnesiac who seeks to discover his past, XIII is a sure sight not to be missed. Additionally, this game gives you emphasis that this is a comic book (and not much of a cartoon) with the cutscenes being presented in panels, onomatopoeias pop up when things like explosions happen, and small panels show up to zoom in on headshots. Much like The Wind Waker, XIII was (and still is) one of the first games t...

XIII is an awesome game! 0
Maybe I am just easy to please but XIII is one of my all-time favorite games. I highly recommend you play it if you haven't yet. There was plans to make a sequel but since the sales weren't too great the sequel was canceled. If you like cell shaded games you must check this one out.-Patrick EverydayGamers.com...

Exception to the FPS "rule" 1
I don't play many first-person shooters, but XIII (thirteen) is an exception to the rule of space marines and alien hunters. I received it as a gift several months ago and let it sit on my shelf until I had the idea to dust it off, and I'm glad I did. Tight controls, a gripping story and an incredibly stylish look make XIII stand out from the pack. XIII is based on a Belgian comic book that began in the mid-1980s, and Ubisoft took that "comic book" feel and translated it onto the screen in a uni...
