About The Game
Sin and Punishment is back!
Players engage in nonstop shooter action as they're propelled through this run-and-gun style game. Isa and Kachi are being hunted. They go on the run and on the defensive, shooting everything in sight. Sin & Punishment 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the Japanese Nintnedo 64 cult-classic shooter. It brings a frantic arcade sensibility to a post-apocalyptic world. Fans who can't wait for the sequel can replay the original game by downloading it from the Virtual Console section of the Wii Shop Channel.
FEATURES:
- Players can run on foot or take to the skies with a jetpack or hovering skateboard-like device to dodge enemy attacks or get a better lock on their targets.
- Players can fire at targets in the distance or switch to sword attacks for close-range targets.
- The Wii Remote controller's pointing ability is used to aim weapons, while the Nunchuk controller is used for positioning and maneuvering.
- Numerous settings include beautifully rendered cityscapes and dramatic underwater tunnels, all populated by fierce enemies.
- It's all about the multiplier. The better a player's skills, the more points are earned, and the bigger the bonus. Players will want to play the game again and again to beat their personal best on each level. The better the performance, the bigger the multiplier and the higher the final score.

YEEES! i just hope the 2 player isnt as horrible as the last with one person aiming n the other shooting lol i bet its splitscreen!
Gorgeous!
Initially I was really excited about this but something just looks a bit off that I can't put my finger on, doesn't look quite like a proper Treasure game or something, so I'm gonna have to see a bit more before I make up my mind.
Looks bloody fantastic to me!<3
oooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah
wow I can't believe someone else already said that....
With this & several other awesome Nintendo games, 2010 is gonna be a awesome year!
Oh man, Ioved he N64 version (VC). Even though I played it at a friends house I was able to beat it. Let's hope this will be a longer game.
Dude, those ruffians are looking killer.
Well 10 years later and the aesthetic is still repulsive.
UK is getting this game tomorrow?
I gotta say, the boxart is pretty eff'n spectacular!
I want these game now!
Holy crap in a crap tree on poop mountain, this is a fantastic shooter. If'n you like fast-paced action and crap, you better poop 50 u.s and wipe your scheduel clean.
