Let's Play XIII - 10 - Submarine
50Now aboard the submarine, I need to give Major Jones my location and find a place to stowaway for a while.
XIII is a first-person shooter with elements of stealth and action in certain missions. The story begins with an introductory sequence depicting the assassination of the President of the United States, William Sheridan. The protagonist (voiced by David Duchovny), awakes on Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York City. Badly wounded, he is rescued by a lifeguard and is brought into a beach house. He has lost all his memories and all that he possesses is a locker box key. He also has a tattoo with the Roman numeral XIII on his right shoulder. He is then attacked by numerous people, led by a hitman named The Mongoose.
He uses a variety of weapons and gadgets to uncover the mystery of his identity throughout the 13 chapters and 54 missions. The characters and weaponry in XIII are cel-shaded, giving a deliberately comic book style appearance, including onomatopoeic words contained in bubbles for sound effects.
