XIII

"XIII.....wow what a game!!!"

XIII is one of the most successful cell-shaded shooting game ever on the PS2, no doubt about that and in my opinion it's one of the best out there!!!!!IT BLEW ME AWAY!!!!IT'S BRILLIANT!!!!

Graphics-10

Quite simply the graphics are the best, excellent use of cell-shading, the character models are superb and the animation is top class and it is realistic while being a cell-shaded game and it totally suits the style of the game....BRILLIANT!!!!

Sound-9

The sound in the game is excellent, and the characters voices are superb!!!!The in-game sound is also top notch!!!

Gameplay-10

The gameplay........WOW IT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!!! The missions are varied so the game won't get repetitive, the action in the game is astonishing it's almost like your there!!!!! Also you get 23 completely different weapons (8 are background objects which you can pick up and use them to attack the enemies!!)and their is a nifty feature....you can use dual weapons for example, 2 pistols and 2 Sub-machine guns which adds variety to the game, quite simply it's BRILLIANT!!!!!!

Story-10

This happens to be the best storyline ever in a shooting game, it is compelling, with loads of twists also there are intervals or ''dreams'' which give you an interesting concept of the story and also it gives you a better idea of the story. It's starts off when the President of the United States gets assassinated and number XIII is the prime suspect of the murder and suffers from amnesia, he doesn't know who he is and he wants to know to clear his name!!! It's shocking and brilliant!!!!

Life span-10

This is one hell of a long game, I haven't completed it yet!!!! There is 34 MASSIVE AND I MEAN MASSIVE levels to complete which are really hard so it will take a long time to complete this game and in my opinion it is one of the longest games ever on the PS2.....EXCELLENT!!!!

Multi-player-9

Loads of levels, loads of fun to be have in multi-player!!!!THE BEST MULTI-PLAYER I HAVE EVER PLAYED ON ANY GAME!!!!

Online Multi-player-8

Although it's quite good they should have spent more time on this, they should of added variety to it to make more interesting as it was quite bland and repetitive to play but otherwise quite good, but not brilliant!

Overall- 10

In short, IT'S A ENJOYABLE GAME TO PLAY WITH EXCELLENT GRAPHICS AND SOUND AND INTERESTING GAMEPLAY,THE MOST COMPELLING STORY IN ANY GAME AND IT'S A MUST HAVE FOR ANY GAMER ALIKE......BRILLIANT!!!!!
