Einhander has got to be the best looking shooter available on the Playstation.  It's full of colorful and detailed backrounds, the enemies are imaginatively constructed, and there's a nice variety of weapons.  The gameplay is similar to side scrolling shooters of the past, with a couple of new features...like the ability to choose your ship and being able to change your weapon configuration on the fly.  Einhander will keep even the most experienced of gamers on their toes with long and difficult levels.  The only feature that keeps Einhander from perfection is the lack of a 2 player mode. Shooters have alot more replay value when they have a multiplayer option.  Still, Einhander is a great game...and since it's now available at a low price, there's no reason not to get it.
