Great testosterone fuelled low-brow fun. [Posted on 2007-01-19] This game came out right around the same time that Half-Life did and decided to take the competition head on, including various jabs at Valve in the game itself. Unfortunately I don't think they really knew what they were up against. Where Half-Life had richly imagined interactive alien environments and a mysterious story that pulled you relentlessly through the satisfyingly lengthy gameplay, SiN had over the top b-movie machismo, a comicly villanous antagonist with a super-abundance of polygonal cleavage, cheesy dialogue and slightly buggy gameplay. I love them both to be honest, but whereas I've play HL through no less than 10 times I can't say I've played SiN through more than twice.
Once properly patched, the game is fun, but still feels as though the developers reach exceeded their grasp. I like the large number of secrets included, including secret levels, and the fun items like being able to transfer all the money from the villains account into your own on the bank level.
The overt sexism revealed in some of the "Secret" areas of the game feels like something a College Freshman would have reveled in when first away from home, but that said; it is refreshing to have a game that's not frighted of being somewhat offensive for the purposes of entertainment.
All in all it's worth playing, and I think you can get it free with SiN Episodes now off Steam for a very attractive price. Boo yah!
