[Game On] XIII: Got Drunk Last Night and...Whoa, where'd this tattoo come from?

Inspired by the recent thread on best sequel-less games, I decided to make a thread on that cel-shaded of games: XIII.
Taken from Wikipedia:
XIII (pronounced: Thirteen) is a first-person shooter video game released for PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Mac and the PC, and based on the Belgian XIII comic series. XIII was developed and published by Ubisoft and released on November 25, 2003. The game was published for Mac OS X by Feral Interactive. The PC DVD-ROM version has recently been re-released in the UK under the Sold-Out Software budget games label.
The plot of the game centers on the main character, who has awakened with amnesia. XIII is unique in that the characters and weaponry are cel-shaded, giving a deliberately comic book style appearance, including onomatopoeic words contained in bubbles for sound effects.
The story begins at Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York City where XIII awakes, badly wounded and with no memory of his past. The game roughly follows the storyline of the first five volumes of the comic (the first fifteen issues), although there are several additions to the storyline, and changes were made to better adapt the story to game format. The game ends at the exact point where the comic's fifth volume ended, and as such, the complete story is unfinished, leaving room for a sequel. Sales performance for XIII has been lower than expected, despite its positive reception (Game Rankings: 74%). As such, a sequel is unlikely, and no announcements have been made.
So in the interest of staying entertained, Game ON! The Ubisoft servers are still online and people still play online religiously.

Have fun!

I ended up being disappointed. It was a little bland and surprisingly generic for me.
