The future kind of sucks, really. There's always some sort of evil alien force that's trying to destroy mankind, armed to the teeth with laser weapons or something. Is this what we have to look forward to?

Isa Jo and Kachi are in the unenviable position of being the last line of defence against violent creatures from the fourth earth, but it does mean plenty of fast-paced action in Sin & Punishment: Successor of the Skies. And that is only a good thing for the player, as shoot 'em up legends Treasure return to test your gaming mettle.

Playing as either Isa Jo or Kachi, you run along various stages on rails, pausing every so often to tackle waves and waves of increasingly difficult and more insane enemies. A jet pack allows you to hover and fly around the screen, dodging and repelling enemy fire, and you even come equipped with guns, swords and bombs to deal with the onslaught.

The action works well with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, Gamecube Controller or Classic Controller, but if you have a Wii Zapper you can really get immersed in the bullet hell that is Sin & Punishment: Successor of the Skies. Learn the levels to get the most out of the scoring system and upload your best to the online leaderboards and be the best in the world.
