Anyone pick up Sin and Punishment for the Wii over the weekend? It came out on Sunday for the Wii and it's fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of shmups, but the game just has so much going for it I believe it made me a fan of the genre. Anyone else pick it up? What did you think if you did?

Sure, it's a shmup and it's a sequel to the famous Sin and Punishment that was released in Japan a while ago. The original only recently came stateside via the Nintendo download service on the Wii, previously it was Japan exclusive.

Anyways, in the game you play as either a guy or a girl and you are sort of on rails but you can move around. So it's more of a fixed camera that only allows you to float around the screen. You are constantly bombarded with bullets, monsters, lasers, flying heads, etc. and you need to kill everything. You get timed bombs and an unlimited supply of bullets. It is crazy fun that requires a lot of precise movements. Here is the cover:

I plan to pick it up sometime before the summer ends; it's not like there are too many games coming out this summer. Unless I'm forgetting something.

I've heard the N64 game was awesome. From what I saw of both games it looks like it plays similar to Star Fox 64.

How's the coop? From what I gather player 2 is just a crosshair and doesn't need to dodge stuff like player 1. If that's true that's kinda lame. Still excited for it though.
