A fantastic FPS let down by some jank.
When Quake II was released in 1997, Id Software licensed its engine to several businesses for development. Out of all the products that uses the engine, it's SiN that proved to be the most influential. SiN is unique for three factors: The storyline, the gameplay, and More so, the Level Design. The story is very fun and pulpy, not taking itself too seriously. The voice acting and characters are also surprisingly top notch, with the protagonist John Blade being one of the most underrated protagonists in FPS history. But that's not what you're here for. As a shooter, SiN is top notch: The weapons are downright incredible to use, with the Chaingun, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Lightning gun and even basic Magnum pistol/handgun being the ones that especially stick out. The game, rather than using basic hitboxes, uses a unique Armor system, where the armor is split into different categories. This means that scrounging enemies for leftover armor pickups is basically essential, and that headshots are practically a must (which is why the Magnum is so good.) Unfortunately, you're barely given ammo for some of these weapons, and in some levels, there are cheap hit scan snipers. In fact, even in its current state SiN is loaded with bizarre bugs and jank, making me hold out more for the upcoming Reloaded version of the game. However, the highlight of the game is the Level Design: There are differing branching paths that lead to different levels throughout, and the game varies up the core combat with different objectives. Because of this, SiN has endless replay value, and overall I can safely say that I enjoyed my time with SiN. If you're going for an Id Tech 2 game, make it a tie between Raven's Soldier of Fortune and This, because they're easily the most memorable, and FUN games on the engine (no offense to Quake II).
