Author Topic: XIII - A Comic-book Styled FPS  (Read 708 times)

Quote
The game centres on the main character, who has awakened with amnesia, using a variety of weapons and gadgets to uncover the mystery of his identity. The characters and weaponry in XIII are cel-shaded, giving a deliberately comic book style appearance, including onomatopoeic words contained in bubbles for sound effects, for example when an RPG explodes, the word "BAAOOOM" shows up close to where the explosion occurred.
The multiplayer over Xbox Live, PS2 Online, and System Link hosts a maximum of 16 players. The game features three standard game modes along with modes exclusive to each system: Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Sabotage (exclusive to Xbox and PC), The Hunt (exclusive to PC, PS2 and GameCube), and Power-Up (exclusive to PC and PS2). Each game type has different maps with a maximum of 16 players.

I honestly feel like no one remembers this game.  It is a very underrated game; it's visuals are beautiful (at least for 2003) and the combat is fluid.

It's like 6 bucks, just try it.  You might like what you see.

Also, might I add it has many of the features you'd expect on a PC title; server browser, config files, map editor, etc.

It's amazing. I've played it a while ago and was sad there wasn't a sequel.

If you want the ending, it's based off the comic.  I'm pretty sure the comic has the ending.
