XIII

Now all you might not like this game but for my opinion this is the best game ever made i just wish they made number 2 version of this cause the story line never finished i play this game everyday i can never get board of it if it was up to me i would be making part 2 as soon as possible. P.S If anyone wants to play me in XIII PS2 only then look for me on the online its XIIILEGENDS if you want a game with the best.

Great cel-shaded game! enjoy it very much.

what can i say about this game? well for one, LBJ paid for the assassination, 1 mob run group and 2 Lone gunmen (one from France) were contracted to carry it out. none of them were Lee Harvey Oswald. What was JfK pulling out of his coat that made her tug at his arm? why did the passenger riding shotgun look back without shock? and what did he point at him? questions that went unanswered and rarely asked because of the multiple edits of the only documentation on film. And the mysterious car swap after it went through documentation, did they really chop out the center section of the car? or did we all imagine a stretch 3 row car? lol. LBJ smiled for the first time in his life that day, and it lasted until he died. XIII is also a good game and work of fiction, like most of what we know from the media.

Most of the game is fantastic, but the checkpoints really hurt the experience on higher difficulty. Back in old days developers put in fake difficulty like this since they didn't want to expose the game's short length - this game lasted me 15 hours, but the content in it is probably closer to 9 hours (maybe even less). If they made a sequel to this, I guarantee you they wouldn't use the same checkpoint system. Not only does the game NOT save the game on a checkpoint (you have to manually save every checkpoint to actually persist the changes), the checkpoints are also placed very aggravatingly. It is very common to defeat a boss and find more enemies before you hit a checkpoint, which might result in you retrying the boss multiple times - this really ruins immersion as defeating the boss doesn't feel as fun as it would be. I recommend this game if you feel you would be ok with rubbish grade save system. Do not hesistate in using wikis/guides/glitches to defeat bosses, especially on the highest difficulty. (You will need to tweak a couple of ini files to get the game to display full hd and enable sound, which I didn't mind).

RECOMMENDED for a cheap price AND ONLY IF IT WORKS WITH YOUR SYSTEM. Please test its workability with the free XIII SP demo. If you like comic book stuff, you might like this. The rest of the people should do research before committing to a purchase. This game is not as approachabe as a comic book game as Freedom Force games are. This is much more serious and drier than it, though there is some sparse humor in it. Ultimately it comes down to being an FPS and gunning down some plot-relevant gunmen. Technical warning: Most likely. This game will not run out of the box. If you do not install the x86 .DLL files that come with e.g. dgDoom (D8D3, D9D3, DImm and DDraw) to the XII\System directory, you will most most likely get any of the million possible Direct X errors from missing files. I got the D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE one. Installing them to the executable directory will override the system DLL's that tend to be incompatible with games in Win10 and Win11. Test it with the demo if unsure. The game in short: 5/5 cutscenes and storytelling MINUS the super-predictable twist at the end and 2/5 as an FPS because of super stiff, console-aim-assist-riddled gunplay. So basically, even if you shoot at the head with most guns, the bullet will not go there because of the aim assist. The assist is lessened with shotguns and the crossbow, though those ones tend to deviate from where you shoot the enemy. For example, the shotgun shots to the neck tended to hit as headshots despite not aiming there. After the initial campaign playthrough, there is no replay value in the story mode. Though because this is an Unreal Engine game, the bots are available and solid, so you can play even when offline and Unreal bot matches are quite entertaining. Though you might as well play Unreal instead. I feel this game does hold up today when it works, though its tone and main content are not appealing. The stealth missions are infuriatingly picky, no saving at will and check points not common enough
