Preview, by Simon Parkin: "...there's nothing quite so hobbyist-centric as Sin and Punishment 2 available for the hardware. Indeed, here there is evidence of Treasure riffing on their old and favourite themes with a focus and clarity we've not seen for some time." (June 25, 2009)

Preview, by Travis Fahs: "Everything else a hardcore gamer needs is still there. The scoring system and combo multiplier are intact, and the demo level is still a barrage of boss battles, small and large." (June 06, 2009)

Preview, by NGamer UK: "And you’ll need the oomph: just one frenetic ten-second trailer reveals battle tanks, more battle tanks, foot soldiers, a giant battle chicken, rolling alien eggs, soldiers on surfboards, a demonic sea turtle, a similarly demonic eel, aerial gunships and tadpoles. Lock and load: this is going to be the hardcore gem of 2009." (January 21, 2009)
