XIII, alot of you were anxious about this game, and i am guilty of it too. if most of you heard the xplay review, that got a 3 out of 5, well, they messed up badly. I jus tdon't think they can stand the fact that theres a good comic book game. why is it good? well, you start out knowing what your dude knows, nothing, and you build up you memory with flashback of places you are at, and peaple you meet. when you begin the game, theres a lovly lifeguard that spots you while talking on the phone, she fetches you and brings you to a bed, she scheduels a catscan for your wound, and she well, gets shot many times by mongoose's (some bald guy) crew. after that, you find throwing knifes on the lifeguard (don't ask), and a revolver in a building (must use these to scare away the locals to close the beach ;D ). once you fight your way through man to man, you go to the bank, i won't spoil it for you...
when your playing the game you realize somthing, IT LOOKS, COOL!! the cell-shaded graphics play a big part of XIII's goodys, and another thing thats cool, you see lovly wording, liek when you shoot a guy on a cliff a big trail follows his while falling: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. andwhen you use a greanade or bazooka, you get an arched word: BOOOOOOM. and also, you can use chairs for hiting people, wine, beer, or whiskey bottles for smashing ontop of people, broom for hiting, shovel for smashing, a square pot for breaking, and a glass shard for tossing, ya, i know, awsome. and also, when you use a harthingy gun, sniper riffle, crossbow, glass shard, or throwing knifes of a guys head, it gives you 3 pitcures, of the head shot close up, for somthing, really satisfying. as you play XIII you realise somthing, you felt like its been 30 minutes, but its been 3 hours!!!, so yqa, the game is long, i pratically played it 24/7 for 3 days and beat it, so shortness is not a problem.
There is stealth mision, that advise you not to let anyone raise the alarm, but you can still go in guns a blazing, in other words, chairs a smashin, knifes a throwin, crossbow a shootin. you can do a run and gun, jus don't let the people life to raise the alarm, you can't use this statagy since you sometimes need to do stuff like, don't make clan members susspistious, and crap like that.
Not all missions have stealth but somtimes you have to use it so you don't die, cause this gaem is hard, the A.I. is build to fit their job, army men well, shoot and take cover liek army men, and hitmen are as skilled as well, hitmen. so you will die, again, and again, and again, wich is realy the only drawback of XIII, is small, but its a draw back.
Voice acting is not bad at all, it has David Ducuvny as the main charector you play, Adam West as General Carrinton that loves his cigars, and Eve the rappa as the ever loving Agent whats her name( I forgot her name, ATLEAST I KNOW WHO PLAYES AS HER) and the soliders and navy people, and etc. will be doing lovely chats that you can listen in too, before killing them...
XIII was the Top 10 of E3 2003, and while in the making they added somthing, Internet, in both the PC and the Xbox and i even think the PS2 version, all have internet, cept for gamecube, they kinda have a sucky internet setup. with the basic deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture the flag, with included sabatage (deels with bombs) and the hunt (chase around a mini verion of death that can kill you by touching you, but the main goal, kill death..).And this is to be addvised, the PS2 version has sucky controls, and the gamecube isn't that great eaither, i advise to get teh Xbox of PC Version.
Warning: this game isn't rated for intense violence and blood, there is suaring, not only the d, h, or ba word, but the s and f word, ya, so its not for the kittys, it does have a parental lock that allowes you to get rid of the f word and the blood, but it keeps the rest of the bad words (don't freakin ask).
The game overall, Great with a few problems here and there, its still a great game, with replay value and oen of the most story driven FPSs' I manage on a so frikin close 4 out of 5
Try this game, no joke!
