bought this game online and it came in the mail today. Had never heard of it before but it looked cool and was only priced at 4$. Its awesome! but why do so many awesome games get overlooked because they don't have amazing reviews or master chief on the cover?

This game is 5+ years old now and it wasn't overlooked when it came out. It was seen as unique and got some good reviews but ultimately didn't sell very well for whatever reason. It was an A-list game though back in the day.

It's a great game! I love the stylization, and Adam West and David Duchovny do voice work for it. It's actually based off some European comic book and/or graphic novel. It was adapted into an American TV miniseries like a year or two ago.

It was pretty good, really the closest thing I ever played to a Goldeneye follow-up. I remember an insta-fail stealth mission that had me super-pissed. Thing is that I didn't really see much to style at the time, having already played two Jet Grind Radio games.


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

XIII is a damn fun game. One of the only, like, four Ubisoft games that I could stand, alongside the only Rayman games that matter. Unless I'm forgetting something.

Anyways, XIII. Fucking brilliant game.

I got it for three bucks at a GAMESTOP and was never disappointed. It's one of those few games on the PS2 that cell-shading was good, the storyline was intriguing and the overall game play was fantastic. I could have asked for a better voice over then David D. but he's alot better then Val Kilmner in the made for TV movie.
Wasn't the game released around the time that there was a bigger budget more popular game released?
