But anyway, it's still addicting especially when you play with another guy (or girl).

All in all, this one is a great addition to the series even though it's considered as the most bland of all of them. The graphix are pretty cute and advanced when compared to the past games. The songs are a remix of the past character songs, along with new soundtracks for the new characters. So if you don't have a Game controller for PC, maybe it's time to have one now. You'll need a joystick controller to play this well with two characters 'coz this games system is predetermined to run exclusively for joystick controllers. The controls is pretty basic if your only one player, but if you want to play this with another friend then you might have slight a problem.

The gameplay is pretty unique due to the fact that being a VS game in a Shootemup genre, it is a great game for those who wants to challenge their friends in a head-on Shmups game without using the beat-the-score system. There is 10+ characters to choose from, including new characters like Aya Shameimaru, Medicine Melancholy, Komachi Onozuka, Shikeiki yamasanadu, and a comeback character from PC98 games, Yuka Kazami. The gameplay screen is literally divided into two columns. POFV is different from its predecessors due to the fact that this game is a VS game.
