Metal Steve Reviews Sin and Punishment

When you come to read METAL REVIEWS at Metal Steve's Game Riffs you know you are getting information that you can't get from any where else on the World Wide Web or even in professional videogame magazines like Gamepro. Don't ask how I get all my information because like a magician a true METAL REVIEWER doesn't reveal who he does his tricks but let's just say I know a lot of people. That is why today I am going to present you with a review of a game that you might not know excisted. This game is what we hardcore gamers call and "UNDERGROUND" game because only people who aren't at the top of the sales charts in buying video games will know about it and since I am "UNDERGROUND" I know about it! haha! The game I am referring to is called, are you ready? SIN AND PUNISHMENT for the Nintendo 64. The game was never released outside of Japan but if you promise not to tell anyone, I will let you know a secret of how to play it outside of Japan! If you have a Nintendo Wii, did you know that you can find the game on the Virtual Console Channel? I bet you didn't know that! See, someone at Nintendo snuck it on there because they said "Wow, this game is so good we need to put it out outside of Japan!" so he made it available. You might go into Game Stop and ask them "Hey guys do you have Sin and Punishment for the Nintendo 64 or Nintendo Wii?" and they'd say "Sin and What? No game exists!" but it does! haha! Even though it's a Nintendo 64 game you can play it on your Wii if you know where to look. The bad news is the guy who snuck it on there accidentally made it more expensive so now you have to pay more than you wouldh have for a Nintendo 64 game but hey, you can still play it! AWEOSME! So prepare youself for my METAL REVIEW of Sin and Punishment. "UNDERGROUND GAMERS UNITE!"

Sin and Punishment for the Nintendo 64 is considered to be the best Nintendo 64 game ever made, even more than Mario 64 and Killer Instinct 64. In fact I don't think Killer Instinct 64 is good but my drummer Eric thinks it's awesome so I told him I'd put it in here. See that Eric are you happy now? haha. Killer Instinct 64 sucks! But Mario 64 doesn't suck but Sin and PUnishment is even better than Mario 64! It was made by a game maker called "TREASURE" who are the best game makers on the planet only nobody knows about them. They ar some guys who came from another game company, I think it was Capcom, and said "Hey we're tired of making games for other companies but not getting credit so let's make games for ourselves!" and so they formed a new game making company. They called themselves "TREASURE" because their games were also worth a lot of money, even when they came out. Sin and Punishment on the Nintendo 64 cost over $100 in Japanese money when it came out and now you can't find it anywhere unless you flew to Japan and the guys in the store would say "OK wel can sell you our copy but it's going to be expensive" and when you say "How expensive" they'll say "Don't ask!" and laugh. haha!

The president of Nintendo knew that the Nintendo 64 needed something special becasue even though it was the most powerful system on the planet when it was out the Sony Playstation was beating it because the Nintendo 64 didn't have games with gun and shooting. The game makers at Nintendo said, "Don't look at us, we just make peaceful games!" and they weren't sure what to do until someone remembered "Hey what about TREASURE?" So the president of Nintendo called the president of TREASURE and asked for a favor, "Can you make a game for us with lots of shooting?" and the presidnet of TREASURE said "I though you'd never ask!" So TRESSURE got to work adn a year and a half leter they presented Nintendo with a game. "Do you like what you see?" is what they said and Nintendo said "Yes!" TREASURE said, "We call it Sin and Punishment and it is for the Nintendo 64!" And the rest is history! Only it's probably history you didn't know unless you are "UNDERGROUND" like me, but now you do know it! haha! Consider yourself a part of the "UNDERGROUND" of hardcore gamers.

The goal in Sin and Punishment is to run as fast as you can through the levels and shoot as many enemies in th elevels as you can. The more enemies you shoot the highter your score goes. You have to hold the Nintendo 64 controller in kind of a weird way but after you get used to it you hand won't even hurt! Unless you're a wimp! haha! The game features some pretty heavy music that isn't quite METAL but it's still pretty good. The graphics are really amazing and have lots of enemies to shoot, a lot at once. It's really amazing. If you play it for the first time you might say "Hey Steve I acn't play this, this is too crazy!" but I will say be patient and try your best and soon you will be running thruogh the levels and shooting more enemies than you ever though possible. "IT'S A MIRACLE!" haha! You will get better I promise. Metal Steve doesn't break promises, so don't let me down! haha!

So now you know about TREASURE and their "UNDERGROUND" game calle dSin and Punishment for the Nintendo 64. If you know what you're doing when you search the Virtual Console Channel you can find it there except it's a little more expensive than it should be but that's OK because in Japan you'd have to pay at least $200 for Sin and PUnishment for the Nintendo 64. So the money you pay on the Virtual Console Channel is nothing compared to that, unless you're homless or something! haha! And then why are you playing Wii? Get a job! haha! OK that is all for now my faithful friends. Until next time, this is Metal Steve bidding you farewell. Remember as Metal Steve says: "UNLESS YOU THINK KILLER INSTINCT 64 IS GOOD, YOU WILL FIND REAL TREASURE WHEN YOU PLAY A TREASURE GAME." Later!
