Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
I lothe the h/w it's on, which hindered my gaming enjoyment somewhat, but it's a good game. The console needed more games like it.

man, it's great. and it's so easy to fix your n64 to play imports and not that big a deal to get this game. it's just about the most fun I've had playing a rail shooter and easily one of treasures best. I only wish it was on a newer system for even greater graphics and a better controller but the destruction and imagination in the sets you quickly run through are amazing.
Compared to Treasure's other N64 titles (Yuke Yuke Troublemakers and Bangaio), I enjoyed Sin & Punishment the most. While it has some of the worst VO ever, the fact that there's VO in an N64 cartridge game in the first place is notable in its own right.Schattenjagger said:
I like it because it's a rail shooter with platforming elements and trademark Treasure boss battles. Those are really the highlight of the game, and while it's not a pretty game by any standard, it retains a pretty original look throughout.
The controls do take some getting used to (it was probably the best they could do with the N64 controller), but once you settle in, I think you'll have a great time!

Yeah, S&P is a pretty direct descendant of that. GET IT.Schattenjagger said:

I liked how the general style of this game seemed somehow removed from the rest of what was going on on the N64 at the time. It really looks and feels more like an arcade game than a 64 release.

that is so incredibly true. it's lively and distracting in a way nothing else on the system is. whether that makes it better or not is probably up to the player but, this feeling while playing it is undeniable.
My first import game, and probably the first Treasure game I truly loved. So fantastic. And the last boss rocked! I loved the music there.
The controls are weird at first, but once you get used to it, it becomes the greatest on rails shooter since Starfox 64, perhaps even surpassing it in some instances (such as graphics, special effects, variety). I still play it every once in a while now.
Truly, one of the greats. Such a pity that it never came out here localized. Imported it for $65 or so about 3 years ago. Perhaps 4 years ago.

HOT HOT HOT. I love this game.
In my opinion, it's Treasure's second best game (#1 being Radiant Silvergun).

Wow, 23 posts and everybody likes the game, is this a GAF first?
Well, I'll make it 24. S&P rocks my socks off. I'm pretty sure I might be able to find a cheap copy near me, I live in Osaka and there are hundreds of 'used game' shops near me and I've seen S&P in there on a number of occasions for maybe around $30.

This is one of my all time favorite games. Seeing this post made me smile and want to go back and experience it all over again. The graphics are a bit dated, but the gameplay comes through everytime I revisit it. I also really dig the music, though that could be just me since it's so rockout with my cock-out.
From fighting off troops to chasing mutants to swordfighting a boss and then taking on multiple aircraft carriers while flying on a piece of debree... And that's not the half of it. This. Game. Rules. It's crazy chaotic Treasure shooter GOLD.
The last boss pretty much *is* Missle Command but I kinda thought it was a tribute to classic shooters. In the tutorial, bad guys look essentially like the creatures on the Space Invader cabinet art. Pretty cool.
There were some rumblings about the game coming to GameCube for North America & it sucks it never did. Huge tragedy, especially as Treasure was targeting it for a U.S. audience. I'm holding out for it to be a Revolution download so maybe Treasure will tweak it a bit and more people get to play it. I'd scream like a little girl if they ever did a sequel...
If you can get your hands on this game, do it.

It's absolutely fantastic - the most impressive N64 game (and my favorite on the system), bar none, one of Treasure's top games IMO, and it's also the best game to take place partially on
. It starts off a tad slow, it being a rail shooter with a dual-tiered control scheme (D pad or C buttons to move, analog stick to aim, Z to shoot, L or R to jump/double jump), but it quickly picks up - the aircraft carrier level being one of my favorite game levels ever! The final battle also is
that is totally awesome. Not to mention you have some messed up EVA story with such shitty voice acting and dialogue (in English! except the ending)... "Is that... the US Army?" "No, the weapons maker that backed Brad sent that in!"
I picked it up a few years back on Ebay for $60, complete and in perfect condition. And I've just looked on ebay and see it's bidding at lower than that! So go... and just pick up a Gameshark or something for the N64, pop the gameshark in and this game on top, and you can play on a US system (easiest way to do it without modifying the cartridge slot).
