Yes you can do sprites, alpha blended textured geometry is probably the best way to go. 'Alien Flux' is an example of this, do a search and download the demo.

In addition you can draw 3D objects with a 2D projection.
You can also draw 3D objects in 3D in a 2D style shooter, this can really make it look like a top quality title with the right particle effects, models & gameplay.
'Space Tripper' is a great example of this go download the demo & check it out:
