One of the features touted in the game is that it dynamically adjusts the difficulty depending on how well you are faring.Unfortunately, it was almost completely overshadowed by the revolutionary changes that made Half-Life, which came out on the same day, one of the best FPS games ever.
So when Ritual and Valve signed a deal to release a new Sin game as episodic content via the Steam distribution service, many FPS fans were excited. Unfortunately, the game doesnt completely live up to the hype.Jessica Cannon - your sidekick for your tripYour first view of Sin somehow seems. SinfulAs youd expect from a game that uses Valves Source engine, the graphics are well done. You are John Blade, commander of HardCorps, an elite security force dedicated to protecting the people of Freeport City. Four years have passed since your first battle with Elexis Sinclaire, a beautiful, brilliant, and ruthless scientist who is out to remake humanity according to her own twisted vision. The same ability to pick up and move objects as in Half-Life 2, though without that games most famous weapon the gravity gun. Ritual have also made sure that theyve done what they were famous for doing in the original game making sure that the people youre shooting at react to how they are hit. Shooting someone in the chest or arm brings a reaction, but it will take several body shots to bring them down. On the other hand, a single head shot is often enough to cause gibbets of skull to fly everywhere, at least until your opponents start wearing helmets later in the game. Your fights are also very messy, leaving lots of blood stains and bullet holes on the walls, as would seem appropriate for the levels of carnage you create.Im getting ahead of myself though. ![]() I say that because thats about all youre really seeing in the cutscene that youre watching from your characters viewpoint. Like Half-Life 2, the entire game is seen from the perspective of your character, Colonel John Blade, who returns from the original game. After a couple of minutes of dialog, your cavalry arrives in the form of Jessica Cannon, who is your sidekick throughout the game. You then are whisked into several more cutscenes of city life which fade in and out, giving you a certain level of immersion in the game. You really arent drawn further into the story, and from this point youre just shooting your way through large numbers of opponents to reach the end of the game.This leads us on to weapons. Unfortunately, there are only three, and none of these are out of the ordinary for a FPS. You get a pistol, a shotgun, and towards the end of the game a submachine gun. All three weapons have an alternate fire mode which does significantly more damage, and you also have access to incendiary grenades which your enemies do a fair job of avoiding in the later parts of the game. ![]() Like the weapons, there are also only three main types of enemies youll be fighting. They start with pistols, and graduate to helmets and shotguns, and then the occasional submachine gun. Later there are Heavy Gunners, which carry a devastating chain gun, and lastly there are a couple of types of mutants little ones that spit acid, and big ones that rend and tear. Not a whole lot of variation, especially as pretty much all you see are mercenaries for the first half to two thirds of the game.Youll see a lot of these guys throughout the gameHeavy Gunners will tear you to shreds towards the endThe second half of the game is where the game play becomes more challenging, as you finally see the other types of enemies, and they come at you in ever increasing numbers.
