 Review - XIII // Xbox /// Eurogamer
Any initial suspicions that XIII was going to be A N Other FPS dressed up in swanky threads have been comprehensively blown out of the water by what strikes this author as one of the richest, most varied and involving games released this year.
The game is based on a Belgian graphic novel (popular in France!) and its premise centres around you, the mysterious central character, an amnesiac with 'XIII' tattooed on his body.
In a game so heavily reliant on narrative to give it context and structure, Dargaud - the developer - has effectively styled the game to look just like a graphic novel, right down to the cel-shaded appearance so beloved of game developers in recent years, but complemented by interspersing cartoon stills to augment the narrative.

XIII is based on the first 5 parts of the Belgian graphic novel series written and drawn by Jean Van Hamme and William Vance.
The game has a terrific yet somewhat confusing plot(which becomes easy to understand as you progress through)the music has this funky 70's beat to it and David D from the hit show X files does the voice work for the main character(and Adam West is in this game as well!!!).
First off Visualy the game looks terrific, no FPS has ever done what XIII has done and that is add cell shaded visuals to the game and the game works very well, something I liked was how the characters were in cellshaded visuals while the backround was completley 2d er 3d(I forgot!).

That game, XIII ("thirteen"), is the latest first-person shooter from Ubisoft, and while it's not as interesting as you might expect and doesn't offer much beyond generic FPS fare, it's still a decent enough shooter in the end.
