XIII - Remake

Not a honorable remake

Starting with the intro: it's an insult. Replay of the original intro in an FBI cinema with an agent watching. But there is no context as to why. First thing I noticed is, that the game is riddled with bugs - like even the main menu stops responding. In contrast to others, ESC didn't even work. Then in-game there are a few others, like alternate fire didn't work for quite some time when I had a hostage, so I had to restart the mission a few times to stay alive. Now, if you are new, there is nothing that shows you the controls and "traches" you the game, as it is a standard now. Instead, you have to look up controls in the menu (which, remember, sometimes just stops working). But never mind, the controls are pretty bad anyways. Like there is some sort of "cooldown" before you can actually see the icon which allows you to pick up corpses. And aiming is gruesome. But the biggest insult are the models and animations. The animations are on a standard that was perhaps state of the art 20 years ago - but not today. Also the models just look like really bad models and do not resemble the style of the original XIII. I tried to give the game a chance, but it really is so bad. I am going to try a refund.
