Is XIII Any Good?


Recommended Posts

Ive read alot of posts lately, especially ones aksing about good multiplayer games, and alot of people have been suggesting XIII. Is this game any good. When it came out, it seemed most people had said although the graphics were cool, the game sucked. Am i misinformed? Is this game any good?

IMO it is good and it is not good. let me explain.

i am very spoiled by FPS where you can quick save and it brings you back to where you did quick save, and that is the only thing that is frustrating to me about XIII is you have checkpoints instead and if you die you are all the way back to your checkpoint, which leads to some trial and error for sure... so thats the not good part (again that is just my opinion others have no problem with the checkpoint system at all)

as far as graphics, they are outstanding to me and top notch. beautiful is the word that comes to mind for me personally as they really are sweet as can be...

and as far as gameplay, its nothing ground breaking but its definitely fun

and as far as MP, i didn't like it all that much. i thought there was a ton of cheating going on and not to many people playing the game, but maybe that has changed in the 3 weeks or so that i have tried it last, haven't really checked since i got caught up in playing prince of persia...

id say overall its worth checking out for sure...

Great game :)

- gfx: amazing, its like if you are inside a comic's book...cell shading never looked so good and "perfect", plus level designs are also nice!

- sound: "Mulder" does main character voice, and overall the music fits into the game enviroment , nice

- gameplay: normal fps, nothing new here, except for the use of the gadgets :)

The game is innovative and good and old at sametime, anyway deffy great game, with a good story!

Can't wait for XIII part2 :D

hope this helps

Good game, good storyline... but I won't spoil it for you :)

The Bot challenge (offline multiplayer versus PC) isn't that good... i would have thought it should have been since the games uses the same engine as UT2003 (or one of the Unreal series) perhaps they didn't nick the mp AI code... who knows...

Anyway, I haven't played it online yet so can't comment on that.

I haven't played XIII yet but Im going to purchase it this week, altho I must say Im not a huge fan of checkpoint save systems, aslong as it isn't as bad as Timeplitters 2, on difficult that game was hard... 1 checkpoint in the middle of each level!...bah!!

Going a little off topic there, I appologise... but looking at your opinions it has swayed me to get it, I've been considering it for a week or 2 as a friend of mine has it and said it was awesome...
