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."

Review, by Sal Accardo: "A fresh coat of paint isn't quite enough for Ubisoft's cel-shaded
shooter, but a few original moments and intriguing story make XIII an FPS worth checking out."

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]

ActionTrip - Review (PC - Windows)
Review, by Uros Jojic: "In summary, XIII has several things going for it: its stylish and
original art design, certain graphical elements, like the pop-up windows, that not only look good
but add new gameplay nuances to boot and a good story that unfolds through enjoyable dialogue and
atmospheric flashback sequences." [Score: 74 out of 100]

Computer And Video Games - Preview
Preview, by Steve Colton: "Climb ladders, dodge between makeshift shields, put paid to the
plans of evil - it's all been seen before, but surely it can't just be the visual style that makes
this seem so fresh? A limited play, but initial evidence suggest XIII's developer has created a
shooter of real substance."
