About This Game
SiN is a first-person shooter developed by Ritual Entertainment and published by Activision, built on an enhanced Quake II engine. Players control Colonel John Blade, head of a private security force called HardCorps, through a near-future city as he pursues Elexis Sinclaire, the CEO of SinTek Industries and architect of a city-wide genetic mutation campaign. SiN was notable at release for its AI behavior, cinematic level scripting, and a large bank level that demonstrated unusual environmental density for the engine.
