XIIIStrengths: Great 1st person shooter. excellent graphics and game play Weakness: none This game is one of the best 1st person shooters I have ever played. It has excellent graphics. The game shows you an extreme close-up of the kill. There are a lot of weapons to choose from like a bow and arrow. It also has a lot of levels to keep you entertained for a while.

Definitely not my favorite console FPSStrengths: Cel shaded graphics are nice Weakness: Control scheme is poor While I am mostly familiar with playing FPS on the PC, I have enjoyed several games from this genre on the Game Cube -- Time Splitters comes to mind. When I was able to find this game at current bargain bin prices, I decided to pull the trigger and buy it. I can not recommend this game to anyone. While the cel shaded graphics are nice, I did not care for the control scheme at all. I played for...

XIIIStrengths: Stylized cel-shaded graphics are nice Weakness: Dumb enemy AI XIII is a first-person shooter done in a graphic novel cel-shaded style. The character models are amazing, while the backgrounds are slightly less so. The game has a fairly linear presentation and some very dumb enemy AI, making the game somewhat easy. Despite that, though, this is a change-of-pace game, particularly on the Gamecube, and worth a look especially as it can be found for...

Now available for a price you might consider paying....Strengths: Based on the comics/graphic novel series, neat cel-shaded graphics, huge weapons inventory, multiplayer support, decent enemy AI, budget price Weakness: Confusing storyline, uninspired voice acting, limited replay value, no unlockables, save issues, cliffhanger ending XIII has been popular as a comic and graphics novel series in Europe for many years now, but the series is just now making its way stateside. The video game was released on all the current systems (including PC and Mac), so pretty much anyone interested could find a copy for their machine. The game itself is somewhat of an acquired taste though. The cartoon-like cel-shaded graphics give it an odd...

Fairly decent FPSStrengths: Art style really is like a comic come to life. Weakness: Not enough to seperate it from the rest of the FPS pack. I want to explain why I game this game three stars. There is certainly nothing wrong with it, it is in fact, quite a nice, fun game. The problem is the plethora of FPS's in the console market. This game is simply not an A-level FPS. With the eight or nine games I would consider an A level FPS, it is hard to recommend the puchase of an also ran, even though many, like XIII, are still quite good. I...

Wasn't David Duchovny the voice actor for this game?Strengths: Nice graphics, good gameplay, expansive multiplayer Weakness: No one bought it Although a commercial flop, XIII is a good FPS with a graphics twist, looking more like a comic book/cartoon than real-life. There are a number of different multiplayer modes (deathmatch, capture the flag, etc), which utilizes the split-screen (up to four players) pretty well. The control scheme is pretty standard for FPS. Overall, a worthwhile budget purchase.

XIII (Gamecube)Strengths: Art Style Weakness: Dumb AI This is a very pretty game. The cell-shading gets across the comic book feel very well. It plays very well, but the weak AI and linear levels break immersion and suspension of disbelief quite a bit. The voice acting is good (especially Adam West). Overall this was an enjoyable play experience.

XIIIStrengths: Graphics, Sound, Presentation, Level design XIII is yet another game that really should have sold better. It has all the aspects of what should have been a hit. Great graphics, unique to fps games, it featured comic book style cell shading that looked great and fit the material. Tight control partnered with good level design, and great sense of immersion. An engrossing story with an excellent cast of voice actors and solid music round out...

XIII
As most gamers have probably heard by now, XIII is a cel-shaded first-person shooter based on a French comic book--excuse moi, graphic novel--about a military operative who's suffering from amnesia and is being chased after by both the authorities and a shadowy group of Bad People who want to do Bad Things. It feels like a bouquet of Hitman 2, No One Lives Forever, and the movie The Bourne... Top

XIII
Aesthetics can get a title pretty far in the video game industry. But graphical tricks stand the chance of becoming clichéd gimmicks as quickly as tired gameplay mechanics. When Ubisoft announced that it would release the first cel-shaded first-person shooter, skeptics were quick to insult the company's apparent hop onto the bandwagon. But as people were shown more of the game, the dismay turned... Top

XIII
Strengths: Good first-person shooter; quality voice-acting; inspired interface and graphics
Weakness: Comic book style sometime gets in the way of the story
XIII is a cel-shaded first person shooter styled like an interactive comic book. The graphics are great as long as you can appreciate the style they are done in, and the voice-acting is filled with emotion without being over-the-top. It's a short play at under 15 hours, but those looking for a decent shooter on the Gamecube have come to the right place.
