XIII is a good FPS but is underappreciated.

User Rating: 8.2 | XIII GC
XIII is a good first person shooter in a comic strip style.Cutscenes are like it's in a comic,comic strip boxes some times come up on screen and words sometimes come up when you make a sound such as when a rocket hits something,BAOOM comes up on screen.This game gets a lot of bad reviews but it is a good game.

The graphics are cartoony and a lot of people are turned off by that but don't be.They won't bother you that much once you get used to it and it is still a good game.

There is a variety of weapons in XIII-ranged and melee.Ranged include,revolver,colt and sniper rifle and melee includes bottles,chairs and mops which you hit them over the head with to knock them out in some of the stealth sections.

The plot is one of the best plots I have seen in a game ever.You'll be playing further just to see what happens.It starts with a man(your playable character) laying on a beach-all he has is a bank key and a tatoo of XIII on his neck.He can't remember a hing but he gets regular flash backs of his past work.The ending isn't good but I'll let you find it out for yourselves.

A thing I like about this game is when you hit some one in the head with a bullet or a glass shard,three comic strip boxes come up,zoomed in on the enemies head,showing it going into their head.It is adictive to do and looks really cool.

This game also contains a arcade mode.Here you can play some games such as deathmatch against a friend or the computer.You can also team up with your pal in multi-player mode but there is no multi-player for the story mode. Each console version has its own unique game.The Gamcubeversion has a game called The Hunt where everyone tracks down a target and you score points depending on the amount of damage you inflict on it.

All in all, XIII is a very good game,not too long,not too short and recommendable.
