I wish I could've enjoyed this game, I really do, but I think the controls are so abysmal that it's impossible for me to continue playing it to completion. The graphics look nice, the music is cool, and I love the game's cyber style, but the gameplay is just so damn bad. You stand, rapidly shoot, sometimes dodge or jump, rinse and repeat. When Vanessa gets shot by literally anything, she gets slammed to the ground and a chunk of your health just disappears. Aside from that, this game was a part of the Capcom Five for the Gamecube, where there would be five exclusive games for the Gamecube to show off its potential, which featured:
- P.N.03
- Viewtiful Joe
- Dead Phoenix (never released)
- Resident Evil 4
- Killer 7

Nearly all of these games got PS2 releases so the whole Capcom Five thing didn't last long, plus Dead Phoenix was canceled so technically it's the Capcom Four. Regardless, P.N.03 is a truly unique game for the Gamecube system, but it fails to feel enjoyable in my eyes.
