    Just finished XIII, thought it was very good, although some of the stealth levels were a tad annoying after a while.

    Was just wondering if anybody knew if there are any plans for a sequel?

    The game leaves the plot open at the end but I'm not sure if the title was successful enough to warrant a follow-up.

    Can't understand why this game sold so poorly. I thought the graphics, atmosphere and music were absolutely spot on and the comic book styling was brilliant. I really enjoyed it and they did leave the end wide open. Probably a stupid decision by Ubisoft to release this at Christmas as it just got drowned out by other titles.

    Companies should leave Christmas to game sequels as Mummy and Daddy can't see past the end of their nose. New games imo are better released in the uncrowded space of spring...

    Fantastic game imo....bought it on the xbox and PC.....only cost 1.99 on the PC in Game at some stage recently!

    It sold very poorly though, so I doubt a sequel is going to hit anytime soon...

    David Duchovny and Eve did voices for it too. It lists their names when you finish the game.

    Its a pity, I thought it was very good, would of definitely bought a sequel.

    Had alot of advertising around it when it was released but then it was released at Christmas and a load of people probably bought the usual EA updates rather than something decent.

    Its the first game I've bought in well over a year and only got it because it was going cheap at work. Glad I did though.

    Yeah Duchovny was the main character. Hmm i might try and find it for the PC, cos i had it on Xbox but it was taken when my house was broken into.

    would probably do really well if it was only released now, off the back of the success of a film like sin city

    It wasn't just another FPS though. It was different to games like Hlaf Life and Doom 3.

    AFAIR they were giving it away with the star or something last year, you got a voucher for it and you could claim it in smiths, only for one day though. They did a week of free games.
