Description
XIII is a stylish first-person shooter thriller featuring a conspiracy of epic proportions. The game's cel-shaded graphics showcase its unique visual style, which pays homage to its comic roots. As a secret agent with complete amnesia, players unravel clues behind their true identity, while uncovering sinister plots against themselves, the U.S. government, and a mysterious presidential assassination.
Features
In addition to the compelling single-player experience, XIII features several innovative multiplayer modes along with classic Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag modes. PlayStation 2 players benefit from five multiplayer modes including "The Hunt" and "Power Up" with up to four players online, in addition to the two-player split-screen offline. The exclusive PlayStation 2 multiplayer mode, Power Up, is a custom Deathmatch multiplayer mode, which includes various pick-ups - some classic pick-ups are replaced with funnier ones, such as "invincibility" or "invisibility." Additionally, pick-ups are chosen according to the player's score position. The best player will receive the worst pick-ups and vice versa.
