- Start date
Got my copy coming in the next two days from Amazon. Used the $20 credit to buy it from the purchase of Super Mario Galaxy 2 so only had to pay $29.
I've played through Sin & Punishment 1 three times in the past two weeks. I used to play using the GameCube controller which worked fine but the Classic Controller Pro feels better.

Very epic game. We are loving the inclusion of local leaderboards, it gives them meaning to us.
Leaderboards have never meant much to me since I suck at having top scores in anything, but at least for today we are in the top 15 in whatever counts for our local area.......how do you find what your local area is?

I think this is becoming one of my favorite games of this gen.
Really good stuff!

. Playing on normal with Kachi, but I played a bit of Isa and realize I like playing as him much better... not a fan of the auto-lock Kachi has.
Now I'm up to the boss of stage 4, the
, I can beat the first part with taking minimal damage, but the second part... ugh. Especially when the stalagtites come down... made it to the final form when she shoots the meteors at you, but can't seem to avoid the meteors.
It's a fucking awesome game, I was totally sold after the underwater tunnel boss fight...
This game is solid proof Japan still has it.
you have to move back as you melee attack to prevent from getting hit

So I picked this up,they had a 500 points Nintendo card with it as well and it was 49 bucks...now I`m debating with which controller to play it...I usually don`t feel comfortable with the pointing Wiimote(hated it in the Conduit),I didn`t invest in the Motion Plus yet,I have the Zapper that I kinda liked in RE UC(the game was too hard though,couldn`t beat the third Boss) and I also have the old Gamecube Controller,(the special one,forgot the name for now)...from what I gather this game is pretty hard,solo,on normal even...what scheme are most of you using(i`m guessing Wiimote)...does it work well with the Gamecube controller or did anyone try the Zapper,thanks.

Playing with anything else but the Wiimote plus Nunchuk or Zapper is like standing in a Mexican stand-off with nothing but a slingshot.

Just got this when coming home from my last day of school.
Will start after I'm done eating.
Can't wait!

At least it counteracts the unjustifiably high scores. The truth is somewhere in the middle.Foxix said:
IMO the leaderboard implementation is useless since the levels are just too damn long. The levels really need to be broken down into smaller, more regular slices for scoring purposes (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, etc). I mean, it takes longer to play some of these levels than to play a full playthrough of Ikaruga!
That's just you and anyone else who uses your console. It comes pre-loaded with some scores, but otherwise that's just you versus you.Incitemaybe said:

I know but I just have a hard time playing with the nunchuk in my left hand...I don`t know why,it just seems so hard for me to grasp,it adds a whole layer of difficulty to me,instead of making it easier it seems...Dead Space Extraction wasn`t bad,it took a while but I got use to it(i hate missing some drops though because the rail goes on) so i`m hoping I can get use to it in this game...we shall see tonight hehe...

Woohoo, my order just shipped!
Using the zapper is a perfectly good alternative, if you have it.

UPS guy just delivered mine! Gonna hold off until this evening to play it since I have work to do right now. I did immediately redeem my points card and buy Metal Torrent on my DSi. I'd been fighting the urge to buy it since it released, knowing I would be getting this points card with S&P. I really liked Ketsui on the DS (also by Arika) and so far it's a really fun shmup for only $5. I'd recommend it to anyone in this thread looking for something to spend their 500 points on, especially since it should up the alley of people buying this game anyhow.

Got through stages 0-2.
I was having a bit of trouble until I changed melee attacks to C and jump to the D-Pad.

Gamestop.com lists my copy as Backordered. Fantastic.
Hey, does someone want to do me a favor? I was counting on this game to bump my Club Nintendo status up to platinum (I'm exactly 50 points away), but there's no way it's going to arrive on time. Does someone want to help me out and give me their code now, and when my copy comes I'll give you mine?

Isa has a charged shot and manual aiming. Kachi has auto lock-on and a multi-target shot.
Otherwise they are the same.

Not actually that important
Volcynika said:
Yep, they feel very different.
Especially because of the different aiming methods (lock-on etc.) and the jump/fly mechanic.
ISA FTW
Damn, this game is hard even on Easy for a noobie like me. Beated the last boss of Stage 2 with my life at 2/100. :lol
I'm still confused at the story, a human that transform into different forms for no reason? What was that thing shortly after i killed the human with the magic shield? Also, why didn't they show ingame what's written in the booklet(prologue)? So many people don't the booklet. And i would have been even more confused with the story if i haven't checked it.
But the gameplay is really fun. The aliasing is really bad in the cutscenes on my HDTV, but thankfully i don't notice it when i'm actually playing since there is so much shit going on.

Treasure has outdone even themselves by taking a little of this and a little of that and came up with AAA pure grade greatness. The tried and true simple stuff built around utter chaos that seemingly only Treasure can do time and time again feels so perfect, and is immediately apparent. they even have the cool Treasure fonts.
this should be the Wii Kiosk demo game, it's the definition of pick up and play
BUY THIS GAME. Man up, stop playing call of duty or whatever Unreal Engine 3 game of the week is out and pick this up.
if this is supported well enough, who knows what else they might try to give us. Treasure has some of the best titles sitting in the cellar and we need to help bust them out by stuffing their pockets full of cash

The game is really great. I especially loved the fight with
. I do feel like the game is way more bullet-intensive than the first one, though, and there have been a lot of parts which just feel like they encourage dodging around semi-mindlessly.
It's definitely better than the original overall, but so far I don't think it's better in every way. Right now, I think I'm on the last battle,
, and it's definitely a lot better than the final fight from the first game.

I don't really know what my goal is here.

The two sides can be moved up by shooting them, and shooting the baby keeper makes him yank Kachi up, but what's the end game I'm going for? Everything I try just results in her being dumped in the lava.
