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.

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.

Great game with some glaring problems

A poorly implemented save function and checkpoint system can ruin some of the enjoyment people who play for the first time may have. The level design is pretty linear. There are some technical issues and bugs but most of those can be fixed with unofficial patches. Gameplay is fun and has variety. A lot of levels require trial and error to beat. The Graphics and story can be described as a comic book version of John Wick and James Bond. An overall great game with some unfortunate issues.

Improving the experience (instructions)

The game is a gem. if you've ever wanted archer and 007 in one, this is a must buy. You'll need to make a few changes though before starting: 1. Download the all-in-one fan patch: (includes improved mouse input, the ability to alter mouse sensitivity from the main menu, general bugfixes, multiplayer improvements, etc.) https://www.moddb.com/games/xiii/downloads/xiii-all-in-one-installer 2. Go to: XIII\system and edit DefUser.ini. Search for "DesiredFOV=" and "DefaultFOV=" and set it to around 100-104. Note: changes to FOV only take effect upon creation of a new profile,

Soo worth it you don't even know.

I gave this game a pass way back when it was new because cell shading looked gross and wasn't to my liking. I deeply regret it. Thanks to file sharing I was given an opportunity to play this magnificent game and am very happy to see it being sold again. I'll actually have a chance to buy this bad boy! The gameplay is pretty much the same but the comicbook style never gets old and swinging around with the grappling hook is soo much fun. That 3 panel head shot sequence may seem like it would get annoying fast but trust me, it's satisfying every single time. I also like how balanced it is. There will be times when you may need to play parts over more than once but it never gets to the point where you'd start screaming or rage all over the place. The music is glorious. If I ever met the music composer in person I'd give him or her the hugest high five ever. I love it's jazz/stealth style music. It's something I've rarely heard and need more of it. The sound effects are soo memorable it's not even fair. The level completion sound, relaxed breath when walking over the health pack are really great to hear. The only down-side is the limited support for resolution but it's forgivable. With that said, I notice this digital version is supported by 64 bit OS's so maybe it's been given a slight upgrade. The story is pretty predictable (At least for me) but the concept of hunting down numbered agents is just great! It's also surprisingly long too. If there's any FPS game you're thinking of buying off this site, this is it.
