Sin and Punishment: Star Successor Wii Review

Sin and Punishment: Star Successor is a cabal shooter for Nintendo Wii. It is developed by Treasure (which is best known for classics games like Gunstar Heroes, Radiant Slivergun and Ikaruga) who previously did made a original game for a Nintendo 64 in 2000, even it's just came out in Japan only. Back in 2007, Treasure fans suggesting developers to make a release for US and Europe to bring a original game for Virtual Console, and it turn out to be a best shooter for N64. While the original game is successful on Virtual Console release, Treasure decided to bring a sequel for Nintendo Wii which came released in 2010.

This game brought with newer gameplay, better graphics, online ranking, 2 player co-op, and 8 stages.

The story is takes place after the original game, the sequel is about the two different characters Isa and Kachi has to defend themselves from the group of Nebulox which is led by Doko who wanted to kill these two for his betrayal. The gameplay is simple, all you have to do is to point, lock on, shoot, dodge, slash and move. You have a 4 choice of controller methods such as Wii remote and Nunchunk, Wii Zapper, Wii classic controller, and Nintendo Gamecube controller is to choose a right controller for you to play a game with better game experiences. The controls are excellent, it's better to use a Wii remote and Nunchunk to have a accurate shooting and easy to control, while the Nintendo Gamecube Controller and Wii classic controller is recommended for pro gamers with challenged gameplay. The difficulty is really hard to clear the stage with boss fights and levels stages may be frustraighting for some players, but that's okay for me. The graphics is stunningly brilliant with nice visuals, superb animation, great backgrounds and textures, and runs at 60 fps makes the polished looking game. The music and sounds does have a great music, cool sound effects and decent voice acting. The special features has stage select and unlockable mode such as music test (complete with easy mode), frame rate mode (complete with hard mode), turbo mode (complete with hard mode) and hard mode (complete with medium mode).
