A Great Comic Book Game, A Mediocre FPS
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
