It's a little reductive and unfair to even compare Sin & Punishment with other games as it's so original and innovative, but you get the point. If you're after a reference point to get a better idea of what Sin & Punishment is about, think of Star Fox crossed with Space Harrier and you're almost there. It wasn't until its Virtual Console release in 2007 that this hectic shoot 'em up became available to anyone in the West with a Wii - it never saw release outside of Japan on Nintendo's 64-bit machine, a crime against video gaming if ever there was one, because this was the perfect swansong for the console.
