xiii is a cel-shaded first person shooter styled like an interactive comic book.
i like this game becuase of the comic book stlye it has when ever you shoout them in the head with a stealth weapon a comic strip show's at the top of it going threw the neck, eye or any way threw
imagine taking a spy thriller type comic book and turning it into a video game.
the comic book style graphics are a nice change and the story line has you guessing throughout the game.
if you are a comic book fan and enjoy the latest animation style with the bold colors and crisp lines this game is worth purchasing.
ever since the 32-bit era, stories have been told and characters have been developed and customized in vastly more interesting ways than books of on-screen text and menu-driven combat.
if you get this game, i recommend you also get the strategy book with it.
one of the things i enjoyed the most about the game, is that although it is chaptermatic, it is not by the book.
are they going to complain about a book because it has words?
it is from the instruction booklet.
my only complaints about the game is that it is very hard to beat it without a guide book and the controls are a little hard to grapple at first.
the secong time i beat it, i needed no book and i beat it in 12 hours with 9 deaths.
it can't beat mgs3's story at all in my book, but it's not trying to in the first place.
take every survival horror cliche in the book and simply forget it.
that ive seen it all all we need to do is wait for re4 (which system) and online ps2 all we ca hope is that maybe someday that someone will remake re2,3,surviver and veronica to rate a 5 in my book.
this game is 4 stars in my book and it's all because of fun factor.
one of the first things i thought when i played the game was how much it looked like a comic book style and the entire game is very vivid and unique.
the game is done completely as if the pages of a comic book could move.
it is about a comic book/old japanese movie junkie whose girlfriend is kidnapped by the villains of just such a movie.
this game rocks if you happen to be a comic book fan or you just love an action flick.
aslo this game as some extras like comic book covers,rare artwork,and movies to see.
all in all this is truly a game for the record books.
there are also comic book covers, a history on the sonic empire, and more along with the massive game play.
10/10good complation game with movies, comin book covers, etc.
the one extra that caught my eye though was an archive of every sonic comic book cover.
game got so much to do its crazy.never get bored allways got u on your toes for more.game is never ending it seems been playing for a while at my friends house.i give it a 10 in my book great game.
on about this...the only "powerup" in this game that mario has [if you consider it a powerup] is the fludd...i think nintendo needs to read their history books....2.bowser- ok....where is bowser???
super mario sunshine shines(pun very much intended) because it uses every gameplay trick in the platforming book and it does it remarkably well.
this game has earned consideration for "best game of the year" in my book.
it is a lot of fun to play but without the book (or help from some internet sites) forget about finishing it.
the game is like the book i'll give you that.
i think this game will be awesome because its got all the charicteristics from the books including the hobbit like smaug the dragon i think it will be really cool in the fighting scenes as well as
if you like fights and battles get the movie based games, if you're a tolkien fan (like me) and want a good game based off the books, this is it.
get them all.it has cute characters and is lots of fun!!it does have some long cut scenes but has wounderful graphics.i reccomend this game to any person who likes role play games.5 stars in my book~
great graphics and decent voice acting and nicely follows the book though it does take some liberties.
the graphics are done well and a very good translation of the game elements from the books.
trying to make a magical game from a book into a video game = bad idea .
the controls were comfortable, it was not too challenging, yet no to easy.you could feel the exhilaration because it was just what i imagined in the books.
this is a harry potter game that breaks away from the books to focus on quidditch.
in my head, i've been clamoring for this game since i first read through the potter books in 2001.
if any nintendo employees are reading the reviews here (and i hope they are) i would love to see a harry potter game like this where you could wander through the settings from the books and start out
there is a lot to discover in this world and it helps to have a guide book, but you can feel guilty when you don't have time to play.
but animal crossing is "don't judge a book by it's cover!" all the way!
we should be relaxing after work, watching the news, reading a good book.
after all, there is a bunch of furry animals on the front and on the back, the activities are made to sound like a virtual coloring book.
the cel shaded controversy is over in my books and i give nintendo two big thumbs up for another amzing quest.
after i beat the game i missed it like when you finish a good book.
what's more, there's plenty for your little one to read (out loud to you--my son reads the story lines in zelda better than his school books...it's true, that "all knowledge is interest")
sometimes judging the game by its graphics is like judging a book by its cover.
the game teaches new users how to use their game controllers, and is able to do so without pulling you out of the game (as a result, most will never even need to glance at the instruction booklet).
he quickly shoves a heavy bookcase against the door, and rushes upstairs, looking for a way out.
sample missions include marge trying to stop a violent video game from being distributed by destroying the delivery truck, and comic book guy racing home to be the first to write a negative review
well, that's what comic book guy would say about the game, anyway- and he would be wrong.
(speaks like comic book guy) best video game ever!!!!graphics: 4/5sound: 5/5control: 4/5gameplay:4/5replay value: 5/5need i say more?
trade the cards to the comic book guy, and he will give you the ticket.
overall, this game rates extremely high in my book, and i hope you all get the pleasure of enjoying it.
my 7 year old is such a big teen titan fan that it helped him excel in his reading level due to the fact that he was excited about reading the books, comics and game instruction booklets for teen
its such ashame not more game developers take a look at what they have done with teen titans and add that into other comic book games.
however, all of tom clancy's works are excellent, and to prove this, but ghost recon, read any of this many books, or watch some of the book based movies.
the gameplay isn't so bad, but it really requires you to read the instruction book as there is no tutorial.
it's not that 8 is necessarily better than 7 - they are all like perhaps the nancy drew book series, where they are the same theme and different people have different favorites.
don't bother with the book, go online to find out clues for some of the more complicated puzzles.
it's like the release of a chronology of books, you have to wait years to finally get the next installment of the series.
if you've read the books (which i recommend) this installment will make a lot of things click.candlelight that flickers on bloodstained wood panneled walls ...
the wonderful graphic are not without backup, the game is a classic worthy of the history books, although some missions are difficult, if a game is to easy then it gets boring.
all of the production values are amazing, lush and realistic.i am a novice gamer and i did have to purchase the official player's guide booklet in order to get past the tough places that i just could
at any rate, some levels are great, just like the movies, others are made up and it's not fun to play the made-up levels (or levels from sw books), they aren't distinct as something from star wars,
