its cool at first i guess...but it gets a lil repetitive to me...i think it kinda tries to be like golden eye for n64 with a twist...but definitely ended up far from its goal

It's not too bad. Presentation and style of the game is really great. The whole comic book thing is carried throughout nicely and implemented in game. You get cinematic shots in the box, the "Tap, Tap, Tap" of enemies walking towards you and other comic book stylings.

The AIs not great though, so don't expect too much from that end.

I was able to get it for $7.98 at Target on clearance for PC.

GoldenEye this is not.

For 20 bucks there's no way this game will do you wrong. There are some great little gameplay elements, and the graphics are excellent. Not to mention, hilarity can be found in most levels. (Personal favorite: Guard singing opera under the spotlight at that army base only to be shot in the eye with a cross-bow. Priceless).

Dude, you need to pay more attention to your wife, or someone else might do it for you.

Its cool at first, but it never gets to the point where it hooks you. Live play is pretty bare bones.

The game is ok, It has major flaws though. XBL is terrible in this game. All it does is lag. The game is a standard FPS imo

"It tries to be like Goldeneye."
"It's Goldeneye, but..."
"Kind of like Goldeneye."
"Goldeneye."
"Goldeneye."
"MOTHERFUCKING GOLDENEYE."

I'm so SICK of hearing the first person shooter genre being constantly referred to GOD DAMN GOLDENEYE! It wasn't the first, it wasn't the most innovative. Yeah, it was good. But for the love of god, it wasn't the only FPS ever ing made.

red you are right but the problem with XIII is that the graphics were amazing and people thought they should make the gameplay just as good, But when they did not the game fell short of how good it could have been.

I just played 4-player splitscreen yesterday, and I was somewhat underwhelmed. We tried playing sabotage mode and it was just really confusing. The deathmatch was alright, but the weapons seemed kind of boring.

The single-player is pretty good, worth the $13 I paid for it at GC.

My cousin has this for Xbox and its pretty good. He just got it and we only tried the multi and that was a blast. Haven't tried single yet, but multi was worth the money.
