It was a promising start...

User Rating: 7.5 | SiN Episodes: Emergence PC
By torinraven | Review Date:
When I got this game, I was pleasantly surprised by it. The storyline drops you into the action with an interesting intro movie, in fact, this game does a decent job throughout of making the whole game feel like an interactive movie. The graphics are top-notch (for the time), and the sound is also well-done. Emergence continues with the same tongue-in-cheek humor as the original.

There were some negatives to contend with, though. The most glaring problem was that the combat felt lackluster and there was no real sense of immersion in the fights because of this. Another issue was the brevity of the episode. It was quite easy to play through in 4-6 hours. Finally, the "dream sequence" with Elexis was gratuitous to the point of being adolescent.

I would have liked to see how this series turned out, but alas, Ritual was bought out and tasked with creating casual games. Oh well...
