Sin & Punishment: Star Successor 2009

Is it still worth playing?

Treasure's 2009 rail shooter for the Wii, the sequel to Sin and Punishment for the Nintendo 64 and set many years after it. It follows Isa Jo, the son of Saki and Airan from the first game, and a mysterious young woman named Kachi. You can play with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, the Wii Zapper, a Classic Controller or a GameCube controller. As Isa or Kachi you move freely on the screen while the path runs on rails, forward, backward, sideways, up or down, and you can run, jump and fly. A rolling dodge works in any direction, and aiming with a reticule is separate from movement. A sword slashes at close range and can deflect missiles back at enemies, and a charge attack deals very heavy damage but needs a long cooldown. You are still making a choice every moment, with aim, dodge and sword all in play.
