This game was released 11/18/2003 to tremendous papillarity (SP). I'll admit I was really looking forward to this game it had a lot of promise. when it came out on the 18th I got it and even though it was real good for that kind of genre it was a major disappointment. The Storyline was real hard to follow, and it seemed that the bosses were real cheap. In this game you play a hero who has no memory of who he is ironically his name is that also of the game, Thirteen. The main premise of the game is that like I said before you have no memory of who you are. But one thing is sure the president was assassinated and you are on the run. I won't get into it that much I don't want to spoil it for anyone. This game also sports some well known voices such as: David Duchovny, Adam West, and Eve. This game gets a M for Violence. It gets a 7.5 out of 10 because even though it was basically a run in the mill first person shooter it was cell shaded which is a nice change. and even though the story is hard to follow if you can get into it than it'll keep pulling you back. The downside of the story is that you finally get a clue about who you really are than the game ends and says "To be continued" but what really sucks is that after they said that Ubisoft canned the sequel so I guess you will never know how the story ends.
