Sin and Punishment was an on-rails shooter correct? If so, will Sin and Punishment 2 be the same thing?

Now if both are true, why would be people be looking forward to that and then push another "on-rails" (or so they say) shooter to the curb?

Just to clarify, there are two distinct types of "on-rails shooter".

There is the type that is also refered to as the "light gun shooter", which was born from games like Virtua Cop, Lethal Enforcers, Terminator 2: The Arcade Game and Mad Dog McCree. It involves a predetermined path the game chooses for you and the movement is automatic. You simply concentrate on shooting and reloading.Dead Space Wii will be this type of game.

 

Duck Hunt is a light gun shooter which came out in 1984.  Although, Wikipedia says it was released in 1976, which is news to me - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_Hunt
