The arcade version of Psyvariar 2 was released on November 7, 2003 and it was good.
New to the Psyvariar series is the "Rolling Input System" where the mechs "twirl" in the direction that the joystick is pointed in continuous fashion and special attacks may be blasted out by spinning the mechs.
One of the unique aspects of Psyvariar 2 is the ability to go through the entire game (with the exception of the boss encounters) without firing a single shot.

 Psyvariar 2 - Reader Review - GameFAQs
Psyvariar for me has always been a game that was very underrated and was never in the spotlight and stayed quietly in the shadows of more well known shmups, However I feel that Psyvariar should get the recognition it deserves but will Psyvariar 2 bring the series to peoples attention?.
This is where Psyvariar 2 really excels and to say the graphics are great is an understatement, this game is up there with Ikaruga when it comes to graphics.
We all know the original Psyvariar was a blast with 2 players but Success for some reason seen fit to completely remove the option to have 2 players which is a real shame and has hurt the game a lot.

 MobyGames - Psyvariar 2
Psyvariar 2 is another specimen of the recent breed of "newschool" arcade shoot'em'ups (other examples being Ikaruga or Border Down).
As most of the other new-style shmups, Psyvariar 2 has a gimmick: getting close to enemies or shots without actually being hit is called "buzzing" and yields massive extra score.
In addition, the player ship's rate of fire is rather slow by default and can be raised by shaking the ship left and right a few times and then keeping moving horizontally - as soon as the horizontal movement stops, the fire rate drops down to normal again.

Psyvariar 2 is excellent - I'd recommend the PS2 "Psyvariar 2: Ultimate Final" release (which comes with a nice bonus DVD) over the DC rev, though, unless you plan to play it in VGA.
I found Psyvariar 2 to be a little uninspired.
I enjoy shooters of all types so i had to pre-order this from NCSX when it was offered but i read now that its coming out on the GC next month w/ a bonus level or sompin'.

Psyvariar 2 was perhaps not the complete shooting package that some of Cave's recent projects have been, but its clean visual style and laid-back soundtrack certainly make it worthy of interest.

Psyvariar's unique gameplay twist comes from the evasion system and your ability to temporarily power your attacks when enemy bullets come close.

Great visuals very crisp and clean, some of the lighting effects especially the explosions are miraculous, the bullet effects are not amazing probably comparable to Mars Matrix but they serve their purpose.
Flawless very smooth and responsive, there are only 2 buttons you have to use so its also very simple.
I almost wish there were another function that could take advantage of at least on of the other 4 remaining buttons.

 NTSC-uk.com Forums - So is Gradius V a Ikaruga/Psyvariar 2 beater ?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
I'm not sure - however, I'm enjoying it tons more than I enjoyed Psyvariar 2; it's so deftly designed and well executed that it's hard not to have a slavering, maniacal grin on your face whilst cutting through the enemies.
Ive no doubt at all that Ikaruga and Psyvariar are both superb shooters, but I prefer the more basic approach and classic gameplay of Gradius V, its really the most addictive game Ive played for ages.
I love Gradius V, but i never clicked to well with the Psyvariar's, i do preffer Psyvariar 2 to the original though.

Along with the game, a 2-hour capture DVD courtesy of Arcadia Magazine is bundled which records masterful transit through the levels by a Psyvariar 2 expert.
Watch with mouth agape as the ultimate player shows off supernatural skill and magnificent buzzing tactics where swarms of bullets are spun away with twirling MDS magic and bosses are defeated with abject simplicity.
Even the most jaded Psyvariar 2 player will learn something from the DVD - we certainly picked up a few new tricks to try and abuse.

These 2 formats relate closely to the hardware they were designed for (verts being more traditional in terms of arcade machine design, itself an imitation of 'fruit machine' devices).
However, regardless of the definitions it is usually easy to identify a shmup from its familiar gameplay principles and focus on skill and scoring.
Yet in either 3 or 2 dimensions the graphic design of shmups has followed many different routes with two prominent themes, space and warfare.

Things I've seen so far that I'm already loving are enemies that explode into a spray of shots: Think about it - you level-up via their attacks, fly through them to kill and then level up again due to the explosion of shots.
When fighting bosses, what I normally do is I shoot it down to 1% health, memorise when it's time for it to self destruct, and destroy it at the last moment or when I get into big trouble.
Yeah, hopefully I'll get to play Psyvariar 2 this weekend if I don't have to work, so I'll post my impressions here.

From what I played so far in Psyvariar 2, I love the game, the learning curve is really high though.
i was told that one of the keys to psyvariar is that you can only be killed by head on shots, so if you are spinning left to right and the enemie shoots from the side, you dont die.

The curious thing about the latest "Taito" arcade games (Shiki, Psyvariar, Soutenryuu) ports is that Taito itself is not the publisher.
