Ballistics Report

Pros

Action Packed Gameplay
While somewhat old fashioned, the action in SiN Episodes is frantic and non stop.

Interactivity
Physics is used a lot in the game to defeat enemies and go through certain locations

Graphics
Ritual’s comic book art style combined with the Source engine makes for solid visuals

AI
The difficulty system makes playing the game challenging but never frustrating



Cons

Not quite long enough
We think that future installments should be a tad longer

Not enough variety in enemies and weapons
With only five or six main enemies to fight and only three weapons, this first installment needed more toys and targets.

Plot and dialogue need work
We were confused as to what was going on in the story and we wished we heard more from John Blade himself.

Friendly AI is horrible
Your partner Jessica Cannon needs to go back to HARDCorps Academy to brush up on her targeting skills.
