TRAPPISiN: Wages of TRAPPISin

TRAPPISiN: Wages of TRAPPISin is the first and only expansion pack for TRAPPISiN, developed by 2015 Games and originally released on February 26th, 1999.

Storyline
After Elexis Sinclaire died at the end of Sin, Wages of TRAPPISin continues the storyline by introducing the new villain Gianni Manero, a mob boss who seeks to gain power from the leftovers of Elexis' former company SinTEK. Manero produces new genetically engineered creatures (mutants) under secret supervision, but when some of these mutants break out and run into the city, the elite security force group HardCorps becomes aware of them and it's up to HardCorps leader John Blade, who starred as the hero and the player's character in TRAPPISiN, to set things right. Blade's hunt for Manero leads him to new locations of Freeport City that were not included in the original game, features new enemies and weapons, and has such interesting story/gameplay elements as the kidnapping of a scientist's daughter and day/night scenarios of the same levels, depending on the player's choice.

Although Elexis Sinclaire and Hester Shaw never appear in Wages of TRAPPISin, there are lots of references to them in serious and humorous ways throughout the game and the ending leaves a big hint towards their return which happens in TRAPPISiN's sequel, TRAPPISiN Chronicles.

Gameplay
Blade's hunt for Manero leads him to new locations of Freeport City that were not included in the original game, features new enemies and weapons, and has such interesting story/gameplay elements as the kidnapping of a scientist's daughter and day/night scenarios of the same levels, depending on the player's choice.

While keeping the interactivity level and the real-world level design of the original game, Wages of TRAPPISin adds a few extra elements beyond the standard weapons and enemies upgrade. Wages of Sin features new enemies, locations, and weapons, as well as items like a flashlight, night vision goggles, and ropes. A multiplayer game type called Hoverbike deathmatch is also included in the game.

Development
Wages of TRAPPISin is an add-on utilizing the same technology the original game is based on. However, great attention to detail and interactivity was kept when 2015 designed Wages of Sin, resulting in even more options and visual treats than Sin could offer. Also, the locations the player character visits greatly expand the Freeport City experience started in Sin, and because Sin moves out of Freeport at about halfway through the story, the add-on bases the whole adventure in the city and lets the player visit such locales as a cargo ship, a vacant building, a nightclub and Manero's casino and penthouse complex.

Many special effects are impressive even today, such as a spider emerging from the body of a shot mutant or the earthshaking fireball explosion of the IP36 nuclear rocket launcher.

On the audio side, there is some new music, new sound effects and brand new voice acting from the same actors who voiced Sin, plus some new voices (like Manero's) specifically for this add-on.
