Excellent, fun shooter

This game had a bad rap when it came out for bugs and long load times. When it was in development, Half Life was released, they had to rush it out hoping to catch some of the market. They soon released a patch that fixed most of the bugs {all of them, for me} but in the days of dialup it was a massive download, I think the full final patch was around 30 meg, nothing now. I got it on a cover disk with a magazine, still have it. If I didn't still have my Sin/Wages of Sin disks, I would buy this in a second. There is also an excellent user made patch that addresses a few leftover issues, and improves sounds and some other things that escape me, been a while.

The true last action hero

I just picked up SiN off of GOG. I think that if it had been properly patched, it could have outdone Half-Life, or at least been a serious contender. The main character is John Blade, who's a sort of Judge Dredd type of guy. He goes after Elexis Sinclaire, who's doing some freaky experiments with people and turning them into mutants. Lots of great gunplay, and even the use of fists, which I enjoy in a shooter. My only problem is that for some reason it never keeps my video options intact when I exit and restart the game. Other than that, A plus!

An underrated AND overlooked FPS gem

This is a perfect example of one of those games that get overshadowed by the more popular games, in this case it was overshadowed by Valve's Half-Life. Unlike Half-Life however, you actually get multiple ways to get through some of the levels, like that the very first one with you in the helicopter that can end with either you landing on the roof of Freeport Bank after clearing out the robbers there or the helicopter taking too much damage and having to let you off near the main entrance to the bank. The story is campy, but in a wonderful manner, and you will be facing not only human goons, but also some of the nastiest mutants ever created by mad science. Another interesting thing to note is that if you shoot enemies on certain bodyparts, you will actually see the damage, this was almost unheard of in FPS games at that time.

Forgettable, Mediocre & Uninspired

This game has some serious cringe-level writing and ultimately does little to make itself stand out. Even for the time, this is unfortunately one of the lower quality games of its style, and has nothing really to offer that can't be found elsewhere & being done better. Everything functions roughly well, but the levels are horribly designed and it becomes easy to get stuck, especially given that the answer forward may be something that hasn't been introduced into the game until that very moment. Everything this game has achieved is done better elsewhere.
