Review by: Carlo

Einhander's a great sight to look at! The polygonal graphics are excellent,
the lighting effects are great, and just about everything you see contain
great detail on them. The only problems here is that there's slight
distortion and some polygon breakup.

Einhander's got to be heard! The sound FX are great as you can clearly hear
the the sounds of explosions, laser blasts, missiles, and many more! They
sound realistic too! As for the music, the techno music really pumps up the
player's motivation to play and it also gives big expression to each level
you enter. When you play this game, make sure that you connect your PSX to
your audio system!

As for gameplay and fun, Einhander brings new life to the shooting genre!
The game is challenging and fun! The game is pretty diverse too as you can
choose one of three fighters available to you, each with it's own
specialty. You can even use the weapons of the enemies (destroyed) and use
it to your own advantage. You've also got powerful weapons of your own too.
Einhander is a must play!

Overall, Einhander is the best shooter on any home console at this point of
time. Square has proven that they can do well with their non-RPG games. And
strangely enough, they knew what exactly (or just about) do gamers want in
their shooters. Square's very smart! Einhander is the redeemer of all 2D/3D
shooters, and in order for this dying genre to live on, more shooters
should follow the style of Einhander. Einhander's the best 2D/3D shooter yet.
