Silhouette Mirage is another Treasure game (as promised) for the PS1. It was also released on the Saturn, but thanks to Working Design's love of good games, they brought it to the US market on the Playstation and translated it themselves. You play as a girl who has the ability to fire one colored shot while facing one way and another while facing the other way. You can shoot opponents of the opposite color and reflect the bullets that are the same color. Being a gameplay fusion of Gunstar Heroes and Ikaruga (and being developed by the same people) really can't be a losing formula.
Despite US gamer's constant complaints about amazing games never coming to the US (Radiant Silvergun, Front Mission 5, Tobal 2) Silhouette Mirage didn't get that warm of a welcome. It seems that gamers are content to gripe about what they didn't got while overlooking the amazing games that are right under their noses.
With many people getting into downloadable 2d arcade games on the 360 and PS3 that cost about the same amount, it really doesn't make sense to pass up this great game which you can get used for $15 or less on amazon (and would probably sell for $70+ if it was never brought stateside)
