Sin and Punishment 2 impressions

[elvis]

I'm looking forward to PAL releases of Sin and Punishment 2, Muramasa and Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

The Wii seems to deliver decent games in bursts, and I'm looking forward to this round. Despite the massive volumes of shovelware, it has it's worth as a decent console from time to time.

I grabbed the original Sin and Punishment on Wii VC about a month back, and loved it. Looking forward to the sequel.

I beat the first two stages, then Borderlands called me back. It is everything the first games was and more. I really liked the big bird in the first stage (well first past tutorial). But why is there a jump button when I can just fly?

The first Sin and Punishment always looked so cool. Like, worthy of region-modding my N64 for cool. Even if I didn't though, I would want a poster of the original game's cover.

I totally forgot there even was a sequel. I loved the first one. I need a Wii, but I'm likely to get a PS3 first due to that nice price drop

The jump button comes in handy during some of the boss stages. If you're ground-based and need to get back into the air quickly - there's a slight delay if you just push up on the nun chuck.

Beat it. Man, that got tough. Treasure shouldn't have an Easy, but gradual degrees of Hard, Really Hard, etc. The game has eight total stages, the first is just a lengthy tutorial though. Good game all around. Replaying it is fun, especially after getting good at the game. Now I feel like I can play and interact with it the way it was designed to be played as opposed to scrambling around just trying to stay alive. In the end I like it better than the original, but not more than Radiant Silvergun or Gradius 5 (my two favorite Treasure games).

That second from last last guy was a bastard on Normal. Played it again on easy got to the 6th stage with no loss of life. Savage game, looking forward to a PAL release with a proper leaderboard.

I just recently played the first one and absolutely loved it. I think the biggest hook for me was the level design...even though starfox and panzer dragoon are excellent games, neither of them had anything like that area in stage 2 (dont want to ruin it for anyone, but anyone who's played it knows what im talking about!).

So how is the level design in the new one? Also, the guy sounds alot like marth in smash bros in the clip that was thrown up, haha.
