XIII is a cel-shaded first-person shooter based on the popular Belgian cult comic created by Jean Van Hamme and illustrated by William Vance. The game is loosely based on the first five comics. The player unravels clues, trying to solve a conspiracy set in an environment that breathes a comic book ambiance. Footsteps and shots are visualized in text and actions: for example, headshots are shown in a series of still images. Aside from that, the game has all the typical FPS elements: both stealth and action, more than fifteen weapons (shotguns, crossbows, rifles, ...), interaction with environmental objects and plenty of enemies in levels spread all over the world. During the game, the player can learn a number of skills such as silent walking, lockpicking and dual weapons handling.

I wouldn't run to play this game as it was very generic 007 type shooter. The stealth parts of the game was cool, but I really did feel as though something was missing. The gunplay was kinda boring and inconsistent. The graphics and comic book theme were probably the best part of this game.

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE.

I can't find the entry for the mobile/java edition, but that's the one I played on my old Nokia 3510. Or maybe it was the Sony Ericsson, but I'm pretty sure that was Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow... Anyway, I remember having fun shooting people and seeing blood, that's about it.

Once upon a time, Ubisoft knew how to make interesting and original shooters. A classic game with the most original comic book narrative, where each explosion creates a large cloud with KABOOM and each deadly, precise blow to the head was duplicated with inserts of hit frames in zoom mode.

Когда то Ubisoft, умели делать интересные и оригинальные шутеры. Игровая классика с самым оригинальным комиксовым повествованием где от каждого взрыва вырисовывается большое облачко с KABOOM и каждый смертельный, точный удар к голову дублировался вставками кадров попадания в режиме приближения.

Neat art style but fairly generic FPS
