Comic book 007, sort of.
XIII, is an FPS that I played 15 years after it's release simply because I never heard about it until the hype surrounding the Remake. I got the original version here and decided to try it out and see what the fuss was about. First, the visuals. For a 2003 game, the comic book artstyle and all the little details still hold up pretty damn great. It has so much personality. Animations do look dated but that's to be expected from a day this old. Sound design, is very memorable. From the soundtrack to most of the sounds, it all fits this cartoony espionage game. Music fits every situation and sounds are very distinct. Gameplay, while not revolutionary what it does, it works. You have your standard FPS gameplay that you've probably seen in a lot of FPS from every decade after Half-life from 1998. Guns feel nice to shoot and you get plenty of diferent weapons to play around whether you want to play it sneaky and go loud. I did like mechanic of picking up objects and wacking enemies on the head with it and I wish it was better explored to give it a more defined gameplay aspect. Perhaps in a future sequel, who knows. Story starts slow, but eventually picks up the pace by half point, starts "upping" the stakes and you get more exposed to the conspirancy that's happening around you. Unfortunately, it ends in a cliffhanger and with no plans to continue anytime soon given the critical failure of the remake. The game is based off of the source material which did, in fact, already concluded. So, if you want to see how it ends, then get the comics.
