SiN Episodes: Emergence

The Good
Sin Episodes: Emergence contains strong violence, suggestive content, sci-fi elements, and heavy language to give it the feel of a futuristic B-movie. The game's graphics wonderful, considering the fact that it uses Valve's Source Engine, which was used in Half-Life 2 and many other Valve games. The characters are entertaining and given actual personalities. Sin Episodes features Doom-like shooting, making it nearly constant and endless, making it very entertaining. There is a "play arena" mode added for mindless fun.

The Bad
The game lasts about 4-5 hours on average difficulty. The story doesn't go too far, and of course, ends out of nowhere. This is sad, considering that an episode two was never created! Sometimes constant gunfire from the enemies can be frustrating, and there's barely time to rest. There are only three weapons as well, and very few types of enemies/targets. Fun, but underwhelming boss fights.

The Bottom Line
I would consider Sin Episodes: Emergence to be a hidden gem. It is not as good as other first-person shooters that came out near the time, but it is still a fun, B-movie-like first-person shooter that at least deserves respect for being pretty unique and crazy fun!
