There was only one mission (and one difficulty) available, but the game mixed up plenty of bullet-hell moments with huge foreground melee enemies, swarms of flying creatures, mini-bosses that would scatter before being destroyed, only to return again later in the level, and a conclusion "boss rush" of sorts with three heavy opponents at the end. It's a very minor issue though, and the overall gameplay demo was pretty dang fun. Release A once, and then just go back to holding both buttons. As one minor complaint – it's a small one – the charge will kick in the second it's finished if you just hold A, and since general gunplay is also a hold-to-fire affair you could technically grip the remote really hard (holding in A and B) and shut your brain off until wanting to fire your special shot each time. Once shot, a red ring takes its place, and begins to dissipate until the charge is ready again. Holding A starts a blue ring circling around the aiming sights, and releasing cashes in that charge time – which takes the place of firing – for blasting power. With huge special attacks (hold A to charge, and release) there's a very subtle HUD system used to show not only how powerful you charge is, but also when the shot can be fired again.

You've got fire assigned to the B trigger, a quick tap will start melee combos instead of shooting, holding A preps a huge alternate attack (with Isa it's a huge blue sphere of energy great for taking down bosses, while Kachi's is a multi-target missile that makes multiplier raising a cinch), Z plus a direction dodges, C jumps (and hovers with a second tap mid-air), and you point to aim. The same general controls make a return, now enhanced by the Wii's pointer.

I'd assume the game was running on an easy mode, and I was nowhere near close to killing full waves of enemies, but health was rarely an issue at all. Dare I say the game was too easy at times, as the slick movement of the in-game sights made for really, really fast targeting.
As for the controls, Sin & Punishment 2 was born for Wii IR blasting. One hit though, and you're back to the original scores for each kill. As you'd expect, Treasure has littered the game with dozens and dozens of enemies at a time, often making use of "flocks" of flying targets that serve little more purpose than helpless combo-boosters. As long as you don't get hit, killing enemies stats up the score, and contributes to a multiplier that in turn boosts every kill you pull off. Speaking of high scores, the game's combo system is back and in full effect. This game is all about points, and high scores mean nothing without the bragging rights that come with them. No other details have been mentioned, but online is in, and quite frankly it was needed.
Nintendo hasn't mentioned anything in printed materials, but I did have a chance to confirm with the on-floor game reps that online leaderboards will be supported for those looking to get top scores and post them against the best in the world.
