I liked XIII well enough. It's a video game opera; the plot doesn't really make sense and the characters are more apt to emote than do something sensible, but pretty graphics and a fantastic soundtrack makes for a good "turn-your-brain-off-and-enjoy" game.
The problem is it could have been fixed.
The Corridor? Give the player a bunch of parallel paths with tough enemies chasing them down each way.
The Story? Make the Pulse Fal Cie at the beginning adopt the characters. (It basically sacrificed itself to make them l'cie already and five of the six characters have arcs about family.)
The Gameplay? Give opponents competing paradigm decks and knock off two zeroes from their health bars.
