XIII

I purchased XIII when it first came out and am happy to see it here at GOG. Cool graphics, Good Story Line and a blast to play. I highly recommend it. I will be purchasing it here as well and am looking forward to replaying it.

I remember playing this on the original Xbox, fun gameplay, unique style(at the time) and a comic book panel when you threw a knife into a guys head....What more could you ask for from a FPS?

Actually the game itself with its cell-shading look and classic retro shooter flair could be very good. Fans of classical FPS-games could have a lot of fun here. But the completely retarded save-system destroys literally everything. You cannot save or quicksave, the game automatically saves on certain "checkpoints". The problem is: these checkpoints are set so unbelievable stupid that you Alt+F4 ragequit several times until you uninstall this game again. You crawl through a ventilation shaft, game sais "Checkpoint reached", then you have a bossfight, you win and kill the boss, bad guys come into bossroom, you fight through a horde of enemies, you succeed, you go on, search through corridors until you find the exit but either get killed by an enemy that was hidden behind a door or you accidentally kill a civilian / pedestrian and the mission is failed... guess what: you cannot retry the mission after the boss fight. you have to start from the VERY BEGINNING. Bossfight again, horde of enemies again... Even though this game has a high potential, if you rage quit the game the third time because of crap like this you better uninstall it because there are lots of good retro FPS games from the 90s and 00s on GOG.

Mouse barely works, no resolutions to fit modern monitors and exiting the game crashed my computer.

I'd go as far as to say this game doesn't have bugs, it's rather a collection of bugs with some game. The mouse is unusable, it's acting up. Save games don't work. Random crashes... Even using patches and editing the ini file won't help this mess. I gave it two stars, because back on my xp machine it used to be playable...
