So - I just finished XIII. Anyone else completed it?

I bought this game for the PS2 a few weeks ago while it was $9.99 from CC.

After completing it - I must say I'm highly impressed with the game. The music was great, the gameplay was interesting, and the controls were solid.

For those of you that've played it through - what did you think?

Spoiler:
I was a little surprised by the ending, to be continued, but it was a decent finish to a very cool game. I really dug the conspiracy aspect, and finding out information as the game progressed.

But from what I've heard, the game did not sell that well. Will there be a sequel so the story can be completed?

I really hope so, because the connection between Kim (XVII) and General Carrington is still bothering me. According to one of the files, she's his daughter. How that ends up playing out with her being around Sheridan at the end has me wondering. I really did like the story, one brother sabotaging the other, I never saw that coming.

But very cool overall, really glad I bought it. Comments?

I finished it over the weekend also. I thought it was great. And since it was only $9.99 it was even better

I'm guessing we won't see a sequel though. AFAIK, it didn't sell well at all.

I picked it up for $9.99 as well, but have yet to put much time in it.

same here... got it for $9.99 and liked it a lot... takin out baddies with knives and bolts assassin-style is always pretty dang fun. Toss in some conspiracy and cool comic-look and it was an over-all good experience. Really hope some kind of sequel is made....

phenomenal for $10, definitely not wrorth $50. Picked it up in the CC deal and knocked it out in about a week. Multiplayer isn't great compared with other Live games out there, but again, for $10 you can't complain...

Also got it for 9.99. Played it for a while; got frustrated on the Submarine stealth level, and haven't played it for a couple weeks now.

I finished mine awhile back but thought it was a pretty good game. The story was interesting & the gameplay decent. I could hardly ever find anyone on LIVE with it though.

Same here. Still haven't beat it yet, but tried to play online and had a hard time finding games and when i did the people were ridiculously good. I did like sabotage mode though - that was a lot of fun.

I thought the difficulty was rather uneven - really frustrating in parts (saving anywhere would've helped greatly) and easy in others. I beat it, liked the overall experience/plot/atmosphere, but I'd only buy a sequel if they evened out the play experience.

PS2 Version of XIII free with Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow this week at EB. They told me about it yesterday when I went to buy XIII on this thread's recommendations!
