  • Sin and Punishment 2 review

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Proving yet once again that the Wii caters solely to grandmas and little children

All snide remarks aside, the original was a seriously kick-ass game, taking the on-rails shooter and turning into something far deeper and more satisfying than you expect. And it seems like this one is doing all that and then some with some very, very pretty visuals to go along with it. You really don't have to worry about gameplay when Treasure's involved so that's a good sign. This one I'm definitely getting day 1.

And don't worry about the whole 6 hour length, that's just your first time through. Like Radiant and Ikaruga, the original has a secondary level of skill (based on score, of course) that you can also strive for (although unlike those two games, it's not quite as rough to get through the game once). It really does change how you play the game and it seems like it's continued here. You go from just trying to get through the levels to getting through them "properly" and it requires a whole new way of playing.

Well, for what the title implies, the screenshots doesn't seem to match. I mean it's not Disney, but it's certainly looks more like a Final Fantasy game than, say, this.

I might dust off the Wii and trying it out, though.
