SiN Gold

SiN is a fun, occasionally frustrating action FPS. Best enjoyed by fans of over-the-top '90s shooters like Duke3D, Shadow Warrior etc. You know, those games that have a trash-talking hero, are super violent and don't take themselves too seriously.You play John Blade - a sort of supercop who must save the world from.. Evil corperation... human experiments.. blah blah. The plot is nothing special and the voice-acting, weak. Gameplay is where it shines due in large part to body part hit-detection system.You have armour for your various body parts; if your chest plate is damaged, maybe best to avoid blowing the next enemy to bits with a shotgun. Instead, you could go for his legs or how about a nice headshot? - Then, when you loot his corpse, that armour you needed will be perfectly preserved to patch yourself up with. This adds a nice layer of strategy. Moreover, leg-shots slow them down, arm-shots can cause them to drop their weapon. Beware; same applies to you regarding arm-shots. Built on a modified Quake Engine, the environments, though generic (factory, warehouse, Dam etc.) look good for the time, with colourful lighting, and destructible scenery - this impresses even now and can even change the level layout. Characters look a bit pointy but their gory death animations are very entertaining! Pacing is good and the gunplay, very tight. The soundtrack grates a little after a while and the overall sound is a bit unbalanced, i.e, ambient machinery sound far too loud compared to the - not quite beefy enough - weapon sounds. The weapons themselves are great though, ranging from magnums, through shotguns to crawling spider mines, an awesome sniper rifle, a chaingun that doubles as a grenade launcher.. in the end unlocking some more exotic sci-fi weapons. All very satisfying to use! While the level design is mostly good, the uneven mission design and uneven difficulty often frustrate with some nasty ambushes and trial and error moments. Optional vehicles are weak. 8/10

Fun game. Blast from the past ! they should remade or remaster this game. Sin needs to come back to modern gamers

The fact that you can't even aim properly in an FPS game makes this game unplayable. That's all that needs to be said. the levels and gameplay could be the best in the world, but if I can't aim properly, it's all for nothing.

It's ok for nostalgia trip. Slow action, some times confusing and boring maps.

for a nostalgic evening it would be ok if you've already played everything else.
