Review, by Ryan O'Donnell: "While the quality of XIII's graphics will no doubt remain a controversial topic for some time, I can tell you that at the very least, I considered the game's visuals to be inconsistent. Technically, the PS2 version of XIII has the weakest graphics." [Score: 3.0 out of 5]

Review, by Kyle Ackerman: "The original tracks sound great, are appropriate to the mood, and loop nicely." [Score: 3.5 out of 5]

Preview, by staff: "In addition to the fancy gameplay, XIII seems to have a bit more class than other FPSs and isn't just simply a game about running around and killing people."

Review, by Simon Hutchinson: "If you need something in the first person genre to keep you happy until Halo 2 ships in 2004 then XIII could be your fix. It offers an interesting storyline, some top gameplay as well as some interesting objectives." [Score: 85 out of 100]

Review, by Ryan O'Donnell: "On the GameCube, you can only play in split-screen mode with up to four-players. Put simply, there are more exciting multiplayer FPS experiences to be had elsewhere." [Score: 3.0 out of 5]

Review, by Ryan O'Donnell: "The single-player experience is enjoyable, if not revolutionary." [Score: 3.0 out of 5]

Review, by NeoStyx: "XIII is proof that mixing tried and true game play with good ideas borrowed from other games and adding a huge dose of style do make for a truly great game."

Review, by Raven: "This is an entertaining title, due largely to its strong style, but it's the look that will draw you back, rather than the game play." [Score: 7 out of 10]

Preview, by Brad Dodd: "Spanning 8 chapters and 37 missions, XIII promises more variety and action than its other smash hit, Splinter Cell."

Review, by staff: "All in all XIII comes out with lots of style and enough going for it to make a great game but ends up falling flat." [Score: 7.0 out of 10]
