Only for the graphics

Came for the unique style of the game and in the end it was the only thing that dragged me thru it... The gameplay itself is completly linear with not much highlights, some parts are just anoying and the save-system is a joke (there are checkpoints, but you have to press quicksave to really save. If you forget this and close the game you're thrown back to the last checkpoint at which you saved also manually - lost quite a few hours of my life because of this. Also: Some of the checkpoints are just unfair, e.g. you survive a boss fight or espacially hard part of the game and than die from a minion and have to do it all again). And most disapointingly: The game ends with an cliffhanger, that doesn't get resolved...

Action-movie-like

Don't listen to the negative reviews. This is a solid and fun game. It has a classic action-movie-like story. Though easily completable it is still fun and definately worth a play through. The story and narration makes it worth it. The cartoonish and comic'ish animation is nice and much different than your usual shooter. This makes the experience into a special and enjoyful one. It even has rogue like elements like crawling and listening/spotting foots steps. Shoot or sneak you decide. All kinds of environments, desert, submarine, snowbase and even a nuclear bunker. All nicely set up. Overall a solid game. Enjoy!

An interesting game

I should mention I got the game for free on Gog and it is a 2003 game. XIII holds surpisingly well, because it is very story driven, and there are some incredible gameplay mechanics which make it special. If you add the very interesting conspiracy story the belgian comics provide, it clearly becomes more engrossing than following bald 47 on missions or watching Sam Fisher clear foreign bases out of patriotism. This game is cinematicaly fun. But there are major issues which might break the deal for others. The graphics, while holding up, show the limitations of their time. The savegame mechanism is an abomination. You restart from the beggining on the level you saved. Be prepared to play until you see a level completed in one sitting and save on the start of the next one. The soundtrack was too jazzy for my taste. It felt like elevator or lounge music peppered with my gunshots and explosion. People praised the voice acting but while Adam West and Eve delivered, I got really annoyed by David Duchovny's grunts and sighs. The main menu itself is confusing. You unlock skills and lore by finding folders. You only see unlocked skills as checked while in-game, while the lore somehow progresses faster than your gameplay, spoiling the next level for you if you read it. In addition weapon swapping is not really an option, because it is too slow. You have to decide how to approach a situation and hope the bullets last. The final boss is not just a bullet sponge, but a grenade one too. I was on the easiest difficulty, ran out of ammo and switched to God mode.. This allowed me to see the finale which is the biggest dealbreaker of the game. To be continued and never was. The comics provide the answer and are a great read. For me it was a great game because it is unique and I had low expectations. I liked the story, the Jason Bournegameplay and the comic book effects.

Not so bad ;)

One of my favourite games. Yes, she really has problems with balance and sometimes it may seem too easy, and sometimes overly difficult at the same level of difficulty. But overall, this is a good game with excellent visual style, an interesting story about the conspiracy and a good fighting (mostly).

Decent game hindered by checkpoint-save

It was free on a giveaway, i am old and dig old-school FPSs, so sure why not. It's got good moments of stealth and shooting, plus a few cool gimmicks like the zipline hook. Graphics are a twist on the usual. But man oh man -- ye olde invisible-checkpoint save system is atrocious. Get ready to replay long stretches. And to again sit through unskippable cutscenes. Truly awful. Which reminds me of Duchovny's voice-acting -- laughably awful. "A guy with amnesia? I'll just say everything in a flat monotone, that'll be perfect." I'm having some fun. Gun precision is sketchy. (Best typo so far: guy says "they think they're John Rambo," and his speech bubble says "John Rainbow.") But checkpoint-save creates very frustrating gameplay.
