Average spy game

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.

Doesn't hold up

The best thing XIII has going for it are its theme and art style. The art is inarguably stylish, and there aren't nerely enough secret agent games imo. The shooting also works. The writing is below that of the Jason Bourne and James Bond movies (I've yet to read the books), and the voice acting is laughably bad. There is no character I can point to as interesting or compelling, and that includes the main character. The gunplay is fun, but suffers from a shortage of health kits and high-damaging enemies in some areas. The shotgun, with its long reload and huge pump-action animation (it takes up literally half the screen), sucks. No gun or explosive really stood out to me as fun, overall. The stealth, even outside of the mandatory boss fights, doesn't hold up well enough to stand on its own. Enemies too often saw me through the backs of thier own heads. I very early learned to give up on the idea of completely stealthing a level unless forced to do so. Finally, the last levels of the game are a complete slog. I remember beating the game once as a kid, and I bought it to replay for nostalgia. I don't think I can stand suffering through to beat it a second time, though, when I already know the reward will be a cliffhanger. Spoiler: This game never got a sequel, so hope you don't mind unresolved plots... I won't lie and claim to've not had fun. I just can't recommend a game as problem-ridden as XII when you can't even save-scum. It's checkpoints-only, and if the checkpoints stick you in an unwinnable position you better hope you have a save for the start of the level!

Best Cell Shaded Game

In my opinion after XIII (13) more Cel-shaded games released as this is a great artistic style and shows graphics doesn't need to be realistic to make a game great, comic book style narrative when you kill an enemy far away or with style it shows it on a pop up screen like in comic books, great story as you don't remember what happened to you, you slowly get your memory back and try to stop an evil plan if you like bourne identity you will like games similar story it is great fun to play and I highly recommend it

True Art and a seldom gem

This game is timeless good! Still today it looks beautiful in it's very own way. The gameplay and Story reminds me of times where games were made with passion and not with marketing goals in mind. Oh, and be careful. You have to be very thoughtful to not to die.. this is not a "simple shooter". Even Arcade Mode could be challenging! Give it a try. It's one of the best! Honestly!
