Probably the best game (My favorite anyways) for the original Playstation. It's addicting, challenging, and fun.

Basically it's a side scroller. You play as the pilot of the Einhander (Or maybe the pilot is named Einhander, I can't remember) who basically is the best pilot around with a strong ship and so forth. It may sound a bit cliche, but the story doesn't really matter in this game.

It has MANY, and I mean MANY levels. I mean you go through these different sections (You know, like from "world" to "world") and each one has a miniboss and a boss that you fight. So not only do you get to fight a ton of unique and interesting boss fights, but each one has different abilities based on the terrain you're in.

Each level also has different enemies, which keeps it interesting and challenging.

Speaking of the difficulty. It's extremely hard at first, and sometimes very frustrating as there is no way to save. You get 10 continues and four lives per continue. And if you lose them all, game over, start again.

Another thing I love about the game is the music and diversity of weapons.

Anyways, that's my short rant about this game. It's pretty much amazing, you should all go buy it (Or rent it if you must try it first) right away. Though it might be hard to find.

I heard on /v/ it's pretty amazing.

They are videogame professionals. They diss Oblivion and FF7, and love games like E.V.O.

Damn I love those guys.

Lol. Its funny how they tried to make the name of this game sound cool but translated into german the game is just one hander, i wonder why they didnt name it "onehander" in the first place.

I never got to play the whole game, I only had a playstation demo disc that had a couple levels on it. But it was really awesome, too bad my local EB stopped selling PS1 titles.

You should try to find it at other stores. It's definately worth the search.

The word "Einhander" is referring to the single arm of the ship that houses the weapon.

Is there a particular reason for that?

Care to elaborate?

Oh man, that game fucking rocked.

I always seemed to die at the 4th level, with the Boss - I think it was that thing in the room that got you a couple times. My favorite setup was the first one, and I forgot the name of the weapon I set it up with - it was green or somthing.

Where the fuck did I put that game? :(

I absolutely love that game. I remember it came on the demo disc that came with my Playstation back in 1998. I managed to track down a copy of the game and bought it a few months ago. It ended up costing me $35, but it was so worth it.

Great game, one of the best scrolling shooters I've ever played, with a ton of unlockables and ample replay value. Definately worth the money if you can find it anywhere.

I feel down, I haven't been able to finish it once. :(

THE FINAL BOSS ALWAYS KILLS ME DAMNIT! It's not fair I tell you! Not fair! :O

Anyways, I'd have to say my favorite weapon combo is Vulcan and Cannon. Juno is fun too. Oh, and oh course Blade. >:D
