XIII
Don’t
you hate it when you get shot at and left for dead, then when you come
to you find out that the leader of your country has been assassinated
and the number “XIII” has been branded into your chest all while
having no idea who you are thanks to a nasty case of amnesia.
If so, you’ll probably hate this game, and if not, a) you’re
weird and a little creepy, and b) you’ll probably want to keep an eye
on this game in the works over at Ubi Soft. The
game pits players in the above scenario with their character coming to
in New England and discovering a key to a bank box located in New York.
Moments later you are attacked by hitmen and dispose of them
right quick, which comes as a surprise as you never knew how to do this
before…or so the fact sheet says.
Of course this brings up a potential plot hole big enough to
drive a Manhattan subway through: If you just woke up with amnesia and
don’t remember anything about yourself how on Earth can you be
surprised that you have exceptional fighting skills?
You could have been a ninja for all you know.
That
aside, it’s time for you to go to New York, see what’s in that bank
box, and figure out what you have to do with the President’s
assassination, all while discovering just who you really are.
Nothing like a bullet riddled voyage of self-discovery!
Features: -
Unravel a whirling conspiracy plot where your identity, the
President’s assassination, and the future of America are shrouded in
mystery. -
Graphic novel presentation, flashback graphics and pop-up windows create
a groundbreaking entry into the genre. XIII marshals the power of Unreal
II technology and unique comic book visual styles. -
Experience a wide variety of gameplay – cunning use of human shields,
silent weapons and XIII’s internal “sixth sense” that detects
approaching enemies. To survive, you’ll master techniques ranging from
covert infiltration to heavy combat as you battle sinister
conspiratorial forces. -
Handle a dizzying array of weapons ranging from silent crossbows to
precision sniper rifles, to furious automatic weapons, to chairs,
bottles, ashtrays, shovels and even enemy soldiers' bodies. - Square off against other players in innovative multiplayer modes such as the cooperative Cover Me, along with classic modes such as Capture the Flag and Deathmatch. Mr. Nash May 19, 2003 |
