    Sin and Punishment: Inherit the earth is a Virtual Console N64 game for the Nintendo Wii that was released on October 1st 2007.

    Please note that this Review contains no spoilers and pretty much no mention of the story in it's current state.

    Sin and Punishment never came out in the states for undisclosed reasons and being a Japanese game it costs 1,200 Wii points($12) instead of the normal 1,000 points ($10). The price increce is kind of a Rip-Off because the only translated part is the tutorial because the original voice work was in English ( and good English at that )

    Now on to the actual gameplay ( for the entirety of this review when I mention the controls I will refer to the Game Cube controller because I don't own a classic controller ) Sin and Punishment is played on rails with the player controlling left and right movement jumping aiming and shooting. you strafe with the Y and X buttons, Y is left and X is right you can also y or x twice to dash in their respective direction ( you can also move with the D-Pad ) you use the R or Z buttons to jump and double jump. You aim with the analog stick or C Stick and shoot with the L button and when enemies or certain projectiles get close you can tap the L button to use a sword swing.

    The Sound in Sin and Punishment is top notch. All the sound effects are peaty cool and the music is great and fits the levels perfectly the only problem in the the voice acting is so-so

    Graphically you can't expect much from Sin and Punishment since it is a N64 game that came out in 2000 by by those standards it is a great looking game.

    Sin and Punishment is very hard especially in the second half of the game on hard. Enemies are constantly coming at you and that's a good thing. The main baddies you will be facing are the monsters known as Ruffians ( yes Ruffians ) and the military group tasked with killing the Ruffians the armed vointeers ( yes you read that part right )

    My only major gripe with Sin and Punishment is that it is SUPER short. to get through it once will take a bout an hour but if you obsess with things like maxing out your high score or beating the game with out dying Sin and Punishment can last you many many more hours.

      Review: Sin and Punishment (WiiVC/N64) 0

      10 years ago cult-favorite developer Treasure put out Sin & Punishment, an English voice acted on-rails shooter, for the Nintendo 64, but only made it available in Japan. It's the N64 game that I came closest to importing purely on the basis of how it looked and what I had read about how it played. There's a grandiose anime-inspired, more mature (for N64) storyline with StarFox-like action, but you control a person instead of a plane. It was a game that looked extremely desi...

      Sin and Punishment VC Review 0

       Sin and Punishment was originally released for the Nintendo 64 platform way back in the year 2000 in the land of the rising sun. Developed by Treasure and published by Nintendo the game was never released stateside for reasons which I cannot guess. Perhaps Nintendo thought it wouldn't do well in the American market back then but for whatever reason they have decided to give it a shot now 7 years later.Now my first impression of the game was a rather shocked one. I expected the game to be... wel...
