What's SnS's distinguishing feature as a shooter (the 'gimmick')?
First, you have people flying, which is always better than a stupid ship. then, they have 2 different attacks (the normal one and the "shikigami" one, plus the usual big bomb). All the characters have extremely different attacks, shikigami and bombs, and are quite well balanced (some have a crappy bomb but an excellent shikigami, some have a powerfull normal shoot, etc). In SnS2, you can choose for each character between 2 different types of shikigami, so you have in theory 2x7=14 different characters in the game (more if you count the hidden chibi-fumiko, and I still hope ??? is there). Actually, the 2 different shikigami are not that important, but you still have 7+ characters to learn and play with, which is still good.
The other important gimmick is that when you are very close to an enemy shoot, your normal shoot power ups for the time you are close to it (but of course, if you get too close - BANG!) and you get bonuses for beeing in that tension state.
It's a really great schmup, and the gimmick is finally more interesting than the Gigawing/Mars Matrix/Ikaruga one, "swallow everything you can", which made absurd bosses in the late levels.

Oh, and Iggy, what's your sig say? I can't get it to show up.
It's a... citation from the character I use as my new tag, so it's in japanese. It's from a great (japanese) drama, Trick, and it means something like "I resigned myself to beeing too perfect". It's... ahem... well... It's... you need to know either the character of the show or to know myself in... how could I say this... in a very particular way.
立派すぎるのも、観念するのですよ。
