Eurogamer.it: I still remember as if it were yesterday my first encounter with Sin & Punishment 2: I had just come in with the merry gang of Eurogamer.it inside the Convention Center in LA and we were heading for the hall quietly arranged the withdrawal of the badge 'E3, still partially fucked by a journey lasting 19 hours.
A satirical dialog regarding the treatment of niche titles like Sin and Punishment 2: Star Successor and Deathsmiles by mainstream gaming media.
Original title: Lolis Smile Back At The Star Successor: or How I Learned That Not Every Game Is Ikaruga and Loved Tyrannosatan
Game Revolution writes: "Few game genres summon the sounds, sights, and downright stink of the good old arcade days more than shoot-'em-ups. Back before the days of teh Haloz, these were the real “shooters”. But over the years, the genre’s been pushed further and further to the fringes of the gaming landscape, where shmup fans now have more in common with elderly shuffle-board players than with the youngsters pwning them in Call of Duty."
TGH writes: "Sin & Punishment Star Successor (Successor Of The Skies in Europe) is a direct sequel to Sin And Punishment for the N64 and recently WiiWare. The original as highly praised and loved by gamers of all ages. So does the sequel live up to the template that the first one set, or is this simply an upgrade, not a Successor."
Awesome but why's it being reviewed now? It seems kinda early unless Nintendo is doing a Ninja release!
Perfect? Damn.
BWA!?! why do we have to wait until 2010 again????
Great game, i have the japanese import version. The controls are spot on and not gimmicky. The graphics are great and reminds me of the good old games i used to play like panzer dragoon. This is a very huge improvement over the first one.
Hellthe way things are going we just need an einhander 2 and a real bionic command in the marvel vs capcom style along with a sick new strider and ultimate ghousl and ghost.
There may be a fight in line if my area does not get enough copies!
Ahhhh the holidays!
