Sin is a undervalued game. This is probably because it had to contend with Unreal and subsequently the seminal Halflife on release. It didn't have a chance. However, the game is good enough. The physics and the weapons a quite fun, and although the plot is pure hokum, its entertaining enough. It's quite long as well, although not quite to the degree of halflife. Picking it up cheap, I reckon this game is actually quite good for a laugh, but don't expect a miracle, and if you wan't to play the "old" classics, opt for halflife. If you don't aim too high this game might well entertain you and even surprise you.

being only 16 years old, I aprechaite that my opinion may not be verybeleiveable, but between the gramatical errors and spelling mistakesplease try and take my opinion to heart. I still remember playing the demointiced by the intrueging concept art on front of the demo disc (I by luckrandomly found), i as blown away by the first level, manning a hugeminigun from the side of a jet powered helicopter as you mow down therocket defences on the bank, then rappel in. the freedom of this level wassomething else, for random fun you could stray from the objectives andhack into teh banks database and wire all the arch-rival's millions ofdollars into your bank account for a small sense of satisfaction. I wasleft on a small cliff hanger always wondering what the next level would belike.
the basic background behind sin is that an underground vigilantepolice force called hardcorps (cheesy, yes - but it feeds the macho image)who immediatly begin to cleanse the streets and are awarded the roll ofauthority and John R. Blade (you) are made cheif. with your geeky hackersidekick J.C, you blast your way through creative levels and such. I wontgive out any more 'story' as it all relies on mystery.
graphicswise...it was good for it's time (think half-life), it ran on a quake 2engine which again was good for it's time.
sound is...ok, could be better but then again could be a lot worse.
the overall gameplay is great, especially when blade whips out theoccasional duke nukem style catchphrase.
there is a background sense ofhumour to it hidden amongst the objectives..for example, find a quarter onthe floor for no good reason? use it in pay phone and hear some randomgarbage. crack open the hidden safe in the bank behind the painting toreveal copies of the quake add-on (I forget the name...)
another thing I found quiet interesting was the non-linear storyline, forexample - fail to find out where Sintek's dam stronghold is and you walkright past a level. veichles to drive, a multitude of weapons ranging fromyour fists to the quantum distablisher (confusing yes). oh yeah, and oneweapon is 3 pieces scattered through the game...lot's of satisfaction whenyou get it.
now I know what you're likely to be thinking...if it's sogreat...why's it going for £4? think now, we have 'far cry', 'doom 3' and'half life 2' all coming out reasonably simultaneously (Well far-cry's outnow but you know what I mean) - sin was unfortunate enough to be releasedthe same time (nearly) as half-life...bummer. i remember walking past agame shop and seeing a HUGE sin display and the very next week it was inthe discount section.
but come on...a fps for £4, with interactivestory, a reasonably attractive evil nemesis and challenging puzzles? whynot? (you even get to be a mutant version of yourself for a level and passthrough a sort of right of passage to cahnge yourself back human, quitefun ripping enemies apart with your bare hands)
