XIII (PC)

Description: A man wakes up on a beach. He has no recollection of who he is. He sets off in search of his past. His only clues are ... more

XIII (PC) ... the number 13 tattooed on his collarbone and the key to a safety-deposit box in one of New York's most prestigious banks. The passport he finds in the safe at the bank reveals his identity. His name is Steve Rowland and he's a captain in the United States army. Moments after making this discovery, he's arrested by colonel Amos, director of the FBI's anti-terrorist department and accused of the murder of William Sheridan, the 43rd president of the United States. In evidence, he's shown the enlargement of a snapshot in which he appears holding a sniper's rifle. The weapon is aimed at the presidential cortège. Despite this exhibit, in his heart of hearts he knows he's no murderer. All the same, when killers tried to eliminate him he was surprised to find he has the reflexes of an elite commando. Wanted by all the cops in New York State and hunted down by The Mongoose , the amnesiac seems doomed to a choice of death or prison. But XIII hasn't counted on the unexpected assistance of major Jones, a young female soldier who helps him flee through the city of New York. During their escape, this foxy lady reveals to XIII that he's a secret agent working for general Carrington. Carrington is a nonconformist officer who is conducting a counter-inquiry into the presidential assassination but he was arrested and confined in an isolated military base in the Appalachian Mountains. When XIII realizes that general Carrington is the only one who can shed light on his past, he sets off to find him with Jones.

... get a little chance to test it before rushing off into battle. Except you won't be doing a lot of rushing. It's mainly sneaking, hiding and trying to avoid detection from the super sensitive detection systems out to get you. It wasn't a game I was suited to and I had to completely revise my style of gaming because I like to rush in and kill everything in sight. The checkpoint system is also very annoying as you can be millimetres away from completion then get caught and have to replay the entire level again. Th...more

Based on a French comic, I was interested by the cartoony style graphics & gameplay and that made my buy XIII when it was brand new & just released. Its a great game, you spend time trying to find out who you are and trying to uncover a conspiracy. The game looks great, its easy to pick up & play and is very nice because every time you encounter a new weapon or gadget you normally get a little chance to test it before rushing off into battle. Except you won't be doing a lot of rushing. It's mainly sneaking, hiding and trying to avoid detection from the super sensitive detection systems out to get you. It wasn't a game I was ...

When I first heard about XIII, I could have cared less. Oooh! Cel-shaded first person shooter! Stop the presses! I knew cel-shading was the new "Fruit Stripe" gimmick (Fruit Stripe gum has an intense flavor that completely vanishes within under a minute.) from the moment I saw it in Jet Grind Radio for the Dreamcast. It's made a couple really cool games, and a few really horrible ones. So XIII didn't really register on my radar. After seeing how it was supposed to unfold comic-book style, XIII piqued my interest. With the nice 3-panel death sequences, and the visual sound effects, now it wasn't just striving to be a cel-shaded game. It was trying to ... Read the complete review

Waking up one morning to find yourself face down on a beach with a bullet wound is not the best start to a day that anyone's ever had, but at the start of XIII, that's where you find yourself. Who are you? How did you get there? These questions and more are completely unanswerable because, to add to your misery, you also have amnesia. Before you have time to think, the lifeguard who has rescued you has been gunned down and someone seems intent on making sure that your day gets worse (and let's face it, there's really only one way that can happen!) Once you've despatched your attackers, you realise that there are an awful lot of unanswered questions and your ... Read the complete review
