I'm pretty much the same - it just 'felt' weird to me - I really should try it again also

I would recommend approaching it like a generic shoot em' up. Collect weapon pods as you would powerups. I started playing it like Thunderforce III and I got pretty far.

Probably the most unique feature in the game is the ability to choose between the three different ships. They are completely different from each other and it really changes the flow of the game.

Einhander sucks balls.

But the cover art was legit.

Lol, we must have very similar tastes

I am in the same boat as you regarding MUSHA too... sadly, since I just dropped munniez on it

EDIT: I do have to say, though, that both of those games have some nice tunes.

For those who are interested, here is a pretty cool writeup on the differences between the US and Japanese versions of Einhander: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/197217-einhander/faqs/6809

I'm very tempted to pick up the new Xbox 360 game tomorrow: Otomedius Excellent. Looks like a cross between Gradius and Deathsmiles.

Is that finally coming out here? I think it was originally dated for Febuary
