Classic Bond like action
What a great surprise from GOG to get this free. Very well presented and paced action shooter/stealth game. Better than the remaster that came out recently for sure.

I'd say the style makes up for the flaws
Let's start with some honesty: this is far from the best shooter of its era. The erratic behavior of the enemies, their resistance to bullets, as well as the mediocre accuracy and/or rate of fire of most weapons make for a gunplay that often borders on clumsiness; and as it is often the case in FPS games, the stealth mechanics are unrefined, which would be okay if you were not forced so often through stealth sections. Which does not mean that XIII is not fun: despite all its faults, the gameplay is usually fast, well-paced and varied enough to keep you on edge until the final level, managing to have many satisfying gunfights. Some mechanics like the use of improvised weapons to stun enemies or the possibility to take hostages are innovative, and a few weapons are surprisingly fun to use: when this game slaps, it slaps HARD, and this is probably why I came back to it several times! While the models and textures are really simple even by 2003 standards, its artistic direction strongly inspired by comic books is what makes XIII so unique: the cel-shaded visuals, the bright colors, the on-screen onomatopoeia, the clever use of comic boxes to underline important details or brutal headshots... It looks pretty awesome, and this style is a big part of what makes this game memorable. The story, while a bit cliché and unsubtle for a conspiracy thriller, is decent enough - even though it's kind of dumb that all of the hero's allies never take the time to tell this poor amnesiac what is going on. Sadly, the campaign ends on a cliffhanger: since there will probably never be a sequel, you will need to read the original comic to see it resolved (I have never read said comic and don't know how faithful the game is, although it does seem a lot lighter in both tone and visuals). Overall, while it could definitely use some efforts in the gameplay department, this is a fun and stylish shooter which I would very much recommend to FPS addicts and art direction enthusiasts alike!

Hidden Gem
First note: I played XIII with the unofficial 1.5 patch. So no technical limitations or problems for me. I am surprised at how good this game is. If I had gotten this game 15 years ago, it would probably be one of my favourite games from that decade and I would have played through it 5 times. The comic book graphics have aged well and the visuals of the sounds and special events are a great idea. It has a good mix of stealth, shooting and story. However, the shooting part feels a bit clunky at first. Still, you need a bit of patience as the first two levels are a bit too average. But then it gets better and better. The game is also not designed to master everything on the first try and make you feel like you are great at everything you do. Some levels are designed to make you fail and rethink your approach. And sometimes it becomes a bit too much to play from the last checkpoint again and again.

A True Classic
A great game with a great story. The boss music theme is one of my favorites.

Which dev can produce a sequel?
I had played the game for the first time around the time it was published and I replayed it again from GOG. An excellent game with a graphic engine just like reading a comic book! As is the case with No One Lives Forever 1 & 2, you get to visit many locations and you will be feeling as a secret agent along the way! A fantastic, interesting and breathtaking story till the very end. If only it didn’t end with a major cliffhanger, and who knows if we ever see a sequel. (And instead of a sequel, a remake was made…). As the only negative (apart from the cliffhanger), I’d say that there are missions where no alarm must be set off by guards, or it’s game over! And don’t forget that there isn’t a quicksave feature… Also, there is an, almost, game-breaking bug. (mild spoiler) In a submarine mission, after killing everyone, there is a cutscene with the captain that begins, but then freezes. I read a possible solution from the forum, and it turned out to work: I didn’t kill the guard that is just outside the captain’s HQ room (the one whom the captain was talking to, before entering the room), I passed by him. And then the cutscene worked fine. Nevertheless, it’s a game anyone should play, so as to realize that “YES, not all FPS games are mindless shooters! Some of them have something more to offer…”!
