The classic Nintendo 64 series Sin and Punishment has been reborn on Nintendo’s unstoppable juggernaut as Sin and Punishment Star Successor. This new Wii title follows up on the Wii-ware released Sin and Punishment with more of the same deliciously devious shooting action that harcore gamers crave.

As a big fan of the original, I can’t wait to try Star Successor. I played through S&P more times that I’d care to admit, mostly because it has judged my skills and found them wanting. The new game promises more “story”, but I wouldn’t worry about that much. I still have no idea what Sin and Punishment was about, I just know that I shot things. A lot.

I’m intrigued to see how Nintendo’s signature controllers are going to fit into the mix; motion control in a Sin and Punishment game seems like a recipe for exhaustion - and something I can totally get behind. I get the feeling that I won’t be the only person to risk dehydration and muscle fatigue in pursuit of a higher score.

Treasure has a reputation of bringing solid, quality games to the fray and it looks like Sin and Punishment Star Successor is no different.

Sin and Punishment Star Successor is out now.
