Critic Reviews

80 NTSC-uk
The complexity of the game's central mechanics (buzz, bullets, levels and colour) is utter beauty once grasped. Players new to the series will find much to love, and the replay system as it stands is certainly better than nothing. It is hard not to feel, however, that Xbox Psyvariar 2 is nothing more than a stepping-stone between the Dreamcast version and the subsequent PS2 edition.
