Sin is a game that drops the ball so many times at the worst possible places that it becomes absolutely crystal clear why history has forgotten it. For what I played, it was decent at best. The cheesiness of the voice acting and some of the level design practically charmed the pants off of me. Though, like nearly all Quake 2 Engine games, the controls were terrible. I felt like I was driving the bus when I tried to move from one side of the room to the other. To top it off, I lost all of my saved games thanks to the worst video game menu I think I've ever seen. You'll be spending more time looking through the game's files to see what player names you came up with weeks ago and which one has all your progress, only to find out that it just disappeared without a trace. Great. I do understand why a lot of people love this game. I'm sure there are some nostalgia goggles, though when the game is working, it can get pretty fun. Except for stealth, that is just terrible... Purchase at your own risk. It's shoddy programming at best and you'd be better off playing old 90s FPS games that people actually remember because they were good. It's safe to say, this game being swept under the rug did not harm the Gaming Industry in the slightest. If you want a true timeless classic that also runs on the Quake 2 engine, I'd check out Soldier of Fortune.
