• Gaming Nexus - Review (PlayStation 2) [ Teens ] - Review by Cyril Lachel: "Beyond the sometimes-interesting story, this game just reuses the same clichés we've seen in every generic first person shooter for the last six years." [Score: 7.0 out of 10] (December 24, 2003)
• WorthPlaying - Review (PC - Windows) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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] (December 22, 2003)
• WorthPlaying - Review (PlayStation 2) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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] (December 14, 2003)
• 3D Avenue - Review (Xbox) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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] (December 10, 2003)
• Four Fat Chicks - Review (PC - Windows) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - Review, by Steerpike: "If you're in the mood for a shooter with style, action, and lasting value, you're better off with Serious Sam than with XIII." (December, 2003)
• GameSpy - Review (GameCube) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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] (November 24, 2003)
• GameSpy - Review (PC - Windows) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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." [Score: 3.5 out of 5] (November 24, 2003)
• GameSpy - Review (PlayStation 2) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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] (November 24, 2003)
• GameSpy - Review (Xbox) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - Review, by Ryan O'Donnell: "The single-player experience is enjoyable, if not revolutionary." [Score: 3.0 out of 5] (November 24, 2003)
• ActionTrip - Review (PC - Windows) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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] (November, 2003)
• GameSpy - Preview [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - Preview, by Matthew Freeman: "As the story unfolds, the entire opening of the game takes on an almost menacing tone." (October 8, 2003)
• Gaming Nexus - Preview (PlayStation 2) [ Kids/Teens ] - 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] (October 6, 2003)
• WorthPlaying - Preview (PlayStation 2) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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." (October 1, 2003)
• WorthPlaying - Preview [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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." (September 25, 2003)
• Computer And Video Games - Preview [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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." (September 22, 2003)
• GameAxis - Preview (PC - Windows) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - Preview, by Neil Ong: "Rendered with the Unreal II engine, XIII is more than capable of providing an immersive FPS experience." (August 16, 2003)
• WorthPlaying - Review (GameCube) [ Teens/Mature Teens ] - 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] (January 3, 2003)
