HORRIBLE!! [Posted on 2006-10-27]
ok this is the most horrible thing ever, if u figured ud buy it for pc cause u dont like the 2 joystick thingy on controller ur better off buying a keyboard and mouse for ur ps2 or xbox and getting the game for 1 of those systems. the installation process is HORRIBLE!!! when ur installing it, itll ask for disc 2, when u take out the 1st disc and insert number 2, itll give u an error saying disc 1 isnt in the cd drive and to put it back in.... wtf is that!?!.. this doesnt happen everytime but it happend atleast 4 out of the 12 times i had to install this game. i mainly had to install it over and over because either the installation process sucks, or my cd drive was too fast and skipped files because i kept getting errors saying this file could not be located on the disc and itll just stop and delete everything u just installed... i tried installing it with my slower cd drive and it installed fine which makes no sense what so ever to me =/. once the game is installed it doesnt tell u which cd to put in to play that game... because of all this i dont even the game is worth the $5!! i rather would of paid $20 for a mouse and keyboard for my ps2. but other than the installation, the game is ok, not the best but if u like shooter games, this is ur fix. controls r easy and graphics was kinda kool, but the only thing i didnt really like about the game is sometimes it can be frustrating figuring out where ur suppose to go or maybe trying to find a key u missed somewhere in the level. but i give the game a 3 out of 5, the installation gets a -2 out of 5 =/.

Amnesia and tatoos [Posted on 2006-11-14]
XIII sets itself apart by delivering something truly special: a comic book-styled FPS.
The game's 37 missions are a mix of run-and-gun mayhem and stealth. If you slow down to a tiptoe, you can hear others' movements, which appears onscreen as illustrated visuals like tje words "tap tap" that reveal enemy positions around corners and through walls. Cut-scenes unfold in mind-boggling swell of animated panels.
If XIII has a major flaw, it is the savegame system. Inexplicably, you can permanently save only between levels. The boss fights are also ridiculous. Why I have to fire repeatedly on old men without armor to kill them when I can kill soldiers with one or two shots is beyond my comprehension.
However, this game has a lot of atmosphere and if you are a fan of the Belgian comic book, you owe yourself to try that game.

Crash! [Posted on 2007-06-11]
Played this game a little. I would have played it all the way through, but it kept crashing on me, so eventually I just gave up. Also, the cd protection made it pretty difficult to play the game, even when the cd was in the drive! Anyways, the level design was boring, the story was dry, I just couldn't find myself getting 'in to it'. It doesn't have the fast feel of most fps games, such as Quake 3, its more, slow and mushy. The graphics are neat though.

XIII: The Game That's Lame [Posted on 2007-07-07]
Like many people who have commented, because my PC has a CD Burner, XIII would not install properly and kept crashing or sometimes the mouse wouldn't respond properly. I've tried installing it four times, and it is continually riddled with bugs.

The gameplay doesn't even look that exciting anyway. I'm not impressed.

Fortunately, I only paid $5.00 for the game, but judging from my experience thus far, it is not worth even that.

I also think failure to have an auto-save feature is annoying.

My advice if you have a PC: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

I love this game! [Posted on 2007-08-09]
I love this game. The Style is awesome, and gameplay is fun and challenging, and the storyline is amazing.
Multiplayer is pretty cool too. Standered Death Match is nothing new, but there is this mode of gameplay that is called The Hunt. In the hunt there is a little grim reaper running around and if he touched you, you die instantly. But you have a shotgun and a pistol. It is hard to hit him with the shot gun but it does a lot of damage, with the pistol it is easy to hit him but it does no where near as much damage as the shotgun. When you do enough damage to him he will get smaller and run faster until he blows up giving the last person to shoot him 30 poitns. And all the players running around can kill eachother too. This is great for LAN partys. There is also a type of gameplay called Power ups. It is like death match but you can get power ups like invinsbilty and super speed and healing, but they only last for so long. But you can also get lose heath and lose armore. I must say I like teh Hunt better but the powerups is good for when you need to take a break from the hunt. I would get this game for both it's single and multiplayer. The single player is great and some of the game modes in multiplayer are orginal and really fun.
