Sin And Punishment

The excellent Japanese developer Treasure (Gunstar Heroes, Mischief Makers) is finally back on the N64, doing this interesting shooter for Nintendo due October. From what we played at Space World, Sin and Punishment feels similar to other action/shooters like Star Fox and Panzer Dragoon: You control your character (left right and jump) with the D-pad as she runs into the screen, aiming a crosshair with the analog stick to take out huge swarms of enemies and giant bosses. Two players can also play simultaneously, with one controlling the character and the other where she aims and fires. S&P looked great, with great style and intense action, and no slowdown--the N64 needs more games like this!
