SiN: Emergence - An old school FPS

User Rating: 7.5 | SiN Episodes: Emergence PC
SIn: Emergence is just based on all that HL2 was. You feel it through all of the game but the game is not that fascinating as HL2 was. It's a good game yet but only if you're looking for a simple shooter in which all you've got to do is to shoot whatever moves on your screen. You're not going to follow a specific story or a big plan. And that pale story can't entertain you very much.
Weapons: There're limited types of weapons. A pistol, a shotgun and a rifle. You may carry up to 4 or 5 grenades along them. All of your weapons have an alternate and a melee attack. Well, that's Freeport city. Maybe they don't like to have arenals with different types of weapons. /* To tell you the truth, I hated those ugly weapons. Why didn't they try to design something nice?! */ My favourite weapon was the pistol which was effective enough to knock down marines.
Crosshair is kind of odd! It's accurate but sometimes it's not very comfortable to aim. But it won't disappoint you.
Your enemies are not of hard-ass ones but they're accurate enough to shoot and hurt you easily so you should be careful. Their easily being killed shouldn't fool you that they're stupid.
Mutants are the same but harder to be aimed because they keep jumping up and down. Sometimes, they really waste your ammo this way. Bigger mutants are easier to be aimed but it takes a bit longer to take them down. Thank God that they only use melee weapon!
Jessica, your pal, gives you a hand in some levels but she's not smart enough and she sometimes acts silly. She's supposed to defend and cover you in some situations but sometimes she takes cover or hides around and you've got to make it without her help. Hmmm, she's a rookie
after all.
There're few bugs in the game. One (That's a well-known too.) is when you meet Victor and when he finishes talking with you and you're supposed to leave the scene but because you're walled by a force field (and that force field will not go away.) you can't leave. Hmmm, I used cheats to escape! ;)
The game was short. That means it won't take a lot of time to be played (Another reason is that there's no puzzle. You just shoot, Drop grenades, rest beside health stastions and that's it! And no big boss-battle to waste your time and energy on.)
As a cheap game with that good graphic and sound it's worth to be played once. Hmmm... As an advice... Well... Rent it, don't buy it!!! :D
