XIII

i remember picking up this game when it was released in 2003 and playing it through like a thousand times. i just only wish this game gets a sequel

This game was brilliant on the old Xbox and now it is just as awesome on the PC, plus no compatibility issues with my graphics card which is a bonus since before i had massive issues even with the original CD! Thanks GOG, you have brought back quite a few games i love :) IMO: This game still has the best Team Deathmatch/CTF!

XIII is game basing on comic book, telling story of man with amnesia and titular tattoo, who tries to reveal truth both about his past and apparently connected eith him sinister conspiracy. Story is solid and addictive at first glance, although far-fetch, when you think about it, with quite expectable final plot twist. For plus, main character is narrated by David Duchovny. As easly noticable, game tries to imitate comic book with both graphics and additional effects, like literal depiction of various noises or showing effects in extra frames, what is really nice and if you like such details, you would be satisfied, even if today sometime it feels like cheaply made Unity game. What didnt work out is overall FPS mechanics. Aiming is messed up and enemies are not only numerous (the flood of helis is really annoying) and often hidden, but also quite deadly, so you either endure (thats the correct word) long enough to save progress or return to starting point, since checkpoints are pretty scarsly located. Boss fights are paticularly annoying, as they force you to do silly tricks to actually pass them, since every boss just run one or two paths all the time, but can waste you in no time. I got this one for free, but I would recommend it to get with huge discount. An iron will is required to finish it.

One of the most original and fun FPS, it still holds up to this day.

Most fun i had in a shooter in a while
