I just wish Square would develop a PS2 sequel instead of churning out pointless dire sequels to Final Fantasy. So which do you guys prefer? I think Einhander just edges it myself. Sound and presentation on Einhander are tops too, as you'd expect from Square. Neverthless, Einhander's graphics still impress today and were mindblowing back in 1997.īoth games are pretty tough, but Einhander is bigger, has an impressive array of ships and power-up's and has some of the best and well animated bosses in a shooter I've seen.

Sure the graphics are a lot crisper than Square Soft's effort, but then the DC is a little bit more powerful than the PSX. Radiant Silvergun (1998) is Treasures first shmup, and the famed predecessor to even more famed Ikaruga, both produced by Hiroshi Iuchi. Ikaruga is very slick, definitly the best shooter I've played for a long long while.ĭespite this praise though, I'm not convinced that the game is better than Einhander for PSX. In a fit of rage quit, the final boss, called the Stonelike being, sends you back to 100,000 BC and blows itself up trying. I've never actually played Radiant Silvergun ( ) so I can't compare Treasure's previous 'masterpiece'. Had to ditch the control pad for the joystick - improved playability no end Superb graphics and sound and top gameplay. I got my copy of Ikaruga today, and I have to say I'm very impressed. Ikaruga is a modernized take on the 'Bullet Hell' school of Shoot em Ups, developed by Treasure.
