What Gamespot Users have to say about SiN Episodes: Emergence

  • Rating:8.5

    Short on length, big on action

    First of all, it should be noted that, as the name implies, this is merely one "episode" of a game. It is about the length of an old-school shareware game (roughly translated, 4-5 hours of gameplay). I'll talk about th... Read Full Review

    $20?

    Underwhelming. The idea that I'll be making additional payments to see what amounts to an OK HL2 mod doesn’t set well with me. There wasn't enough substance or variety to justify $20 on one episode. Enemies and locati... Read Full Review

    I can still feel the vein throbbing in my forehead.

    In the last year or so, Steam has seen 8 (yes, 8) third party games added to it's database. Ranging from unique (Darwinia) to never seen that before (Rag Doll Kung Fu) and quality entertainment (Several simulation games ... Read Full Review

    A nice, albeit short, diversion

    I obtained this game as a download from Steam for 17 bucks. I figured that anything that uses the Source engine can't be all that bad... and minimally will be nice to look at. I was correct on the "nice to look at" p... Read Full Review

    That was short, ungratifying, and almost painful.

    Sin Episodes: Emergence is the lead-in for a series of video games from Ritual. These are also supposed to form the sequel to the old, under appreciated PC Game simply titled “Sin”. The hype behind this game was pretty... Read Full Review

    A short, but sweet action-FPS to keep you wanting more.

    SiN Episodes: Emergence is one of those games, where it's totally awesome, but too short, and leaves you wanting more... Gameplay-wise, SiN is your basic Action-FPS, explosions, tight controls, cool things to do, but ... Read Full Review

    This is tons of fun. With stats tracking, secrets, great fire effects, adaptive AI, this game has it all.

    Here's my BIGGEST beef in this game and almost all FPS games. It is now 2006.... Why on earth do I still swim with a GUN in hand underwater? I think Far Cry is the only game that got this right along with climbing ladd... Read Full Review

    Good, not great

    Overall, it's a good game. Can't complain of the length due to it being an episode. However, for the price, you will be spending around $100 for all the episodes. It starts off easy, but the constantly adjusting skill le... Read Full Review

    A Great game, but some stuff could be improved.

    Most people are saying this game is really bad and just a user mod for Half-Life 2. Well, I’m guessing most of these people went into the game thinking it was bad. I never did finish the first SiN because I didn’t like i... Read Full Review

    The first chapter in the SiN Episodes: Emergence is ... bad.

    When I saw the first pictures of SiN Episodes: Emergence, I wasn't impressed at all, while some folks were quite hyped up about this game. There seemed to be nothing new or interesting. Same old gameplay and mediocre gr... Read Full Review
