GameSpy - Preview - Preview, by Matthew Freeman: "As the story unfolds, the entire opening of the game takes on an almost menacing tone."
WorthPlaying - Preview - Preview, by staff: "In addition to the fancy gameplay, XIII seems to have a bit more class than other FPSs and isnt just simply a game about running around and killing people."
GameSpy - Review (Xbox) - Review, by Ryan O'Donnell: "The single-player experience is enjoyable, if not revolutionary." [Score: 3.0 out of 5]
3D Avenue - Review (Xbox) - 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]
GameBiz - Preview (Xbox) - Preview, by Brad Dodd: "Implementing the current visual fad, cel-shading, XIII aims to create a stylish action game set in the comic book world."
Play More Consoles - Review (Xbox) - 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."
GameSpy - Review (GameCube) - 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]
GameXC - Preview (GameCube) - Preview, by Murdoc: "As far as I am concerned, XIII was one of my favorite games presented at this years media event." [Hype: 9.0 out of 10]
WorthPlaying - Review (GameCube) - Review, by staff: "XIII is not the greatest FPS to grace the market, but there was no reason to expect it to be. What we do have is a very well done, if somewhat flawed, action/adventure title." [Score: 8.0 out of 10]
GameSpy - Review (PlayStation 2) - 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]
WorthPlaying - Review (PlayStation 2) - Review, by staff: "Most who manage to make it through to the end-credits of XIII will likely do so due to its consistently interesting and engaging storyline." [Score: 7.6 out of 10]
Gamers Europe - Preview (PlayStation 2) - Preview, by Alix Barningham: "The levels I played did have different aspects to them - protect so and so, escape from these people, infiltrate and explode a submarine; you know - the usual stuff. However as a game, it wasn't too fun."
Gaming Nexus - Preview (PlayStation 2) - Preview, by Matt Mirkovich: "With a little bit less than a month to go this title is looking to be one to get during the holiday rush." [Anticipation Rating: 8.0 out of 10]
WorthPlaying - Preview (PlayStation 2) - Preview, by Thomas Wilde: "When the real action hits, XIII is primed to deliver. Each of his wide assortment of weapons comes equipped with a secondary-fire mode, some of which are entertaining."
GameHelper - Review (PlayStation 2) - Review, by Lawless: "A compelling storyline and style that will hold your interest as long as you dont lead an interesting life." [Score: 6.0 out of 10]
Gaming Nexus - Review (PlayStation 2) - Review by Cyril Lachel: "Beyond the sometimes-interesting story, this game just reuses the same clichés weve seen in every generic first person shooter for the last six years." [Score: 7.0 out of 10]
