This is different. This is a "3rd person rails shooter" which basically makes it a 3-D shmup. It plays like Star Fox. You can control your character, but you can't slow down or turn back.
The difference is that in 1st person rails shooters you can't dodge. Your only option is to shoot the bad guys really fast, and if they throw something at you, shoot it in mid-air. Games like Sin and Punishment and Star Fox have dodging, which changes everything 'cuz it's totally full of bullet hell madness.
Nobody was complaining that Gradius or Life Force or R-Type were "on-rails shooters" because you couldn't turn around. Shmups kick ass. And Treasure is their king. To knock Sin and Punishment is to knock the team behind Gunstar Heroes and Ikaruga. It's just not a good move.

*Sigh*
This wouldn't apply to a game that's genre was already based on being on-rails. This is a sequel to an originally on-rails game. This also is not a cash-in, as you can see by the obvious time and quality put into the game.
As to if it will bomb, that depends on what Treasure and Nintendo's expectations are. It sold poorly in Japan, but may have hopes in NA. If Nintendo markets it right, it could outperform House of the Dead: Overkill.

You could've just saved time and admitted it'll bomb then.

Reggie Fils-Aime has specifically stated he wishes to promote this title, along with something else. I will try and find a link.

the game already bombed in japan under 10k first week, and i don't see this selling at all in the US, only the nintendo loyal fanbase, or the informed gamer will buy the game. It can reach 100k WW lifetime if lucky. Knowing nintendo, they'll price it at $49.99, and it will bomb. I will buy this when its cheap , $29.99

No need, I read it too.
I just don't believe it is all.
