FANTAVISION ON PS4 PS4
Sony later re-released this game onto the PS4 as part of the PS2 classics, which is a collection of PS2 games running in an emulator.

I’m more confused why the main menu has phonetic pronunciations of the above text? A PS2 classic Since the later levels feature you being in space, maybe it’s a reference to the 1950s space race. I’m not sure what relevance these have to the game, they seem to appear after every few levels showing a sub-urban family playing and talking with one another, set in a 1950s period, yet you can see them playing with PS2 controllers. On the topic of sound, this is one of the games that does not output audio over the PS2 Optical audio connection (sometimes known as S/PDIF) and you have to revert to the AV Multi out audio, I’m not sure why this is, or if the game is outputting audio my AV Receiver (Yamaha RX-V481D) does not understand. These also carry over into the cutscenes of the game. Europe as dance/trance-like music whilst the US has NewWave/Pop music. Music and Region differencesĮach region has its own unique soundtrack which was meant to reflect the popular genre of the time. When you complete all eight levels, the extra section is unlocked. Star item: Adds a letter to the Starmine meter below, appears as a starĮnergy item: Replenishes your life meter, appears as the letter Eīonus point: Multiplies your bonus score, appears as a letter BĪfter you complete a level, the game will automatically save a replay to your memory card which you can replay later, and can apply different effects and change the angle and the weather whilst you watch the fireworks.

Wild flare: this will be white and is one of the flairs that allows you to combine flares of different colors There is also a two-player mode which is similar to the single-player mode, but players have the ability to swap the screen with a unique powerup. This does give a risk element when combining flares of multiple colours and means you will have to gamble between setting off your flares or waiting to see if you can increase your chain combo. If you fail to set off a flare, you will lose a certain amount of life, which the game ends when this has been depleted, You can lose life even by chaining a few flares and have them go out since flares will last on screen for around 10 seconds. Bonus can also be combined to increase your score, and some will help spell out the word Starmine, which is used to enable a special mode to increase your score. You are limited to chaining flairs of the same colour together, but you can use the rainbow-colored flairs to combine flairs of a different colour. View the first screenshots at the gallery.It’s a simple game where you set off fireworks by combining various flares of the same colour together to set off a chain. You can also experience the vibrations of the fireworks through haptic feedback, so you can fully absorb the breathtaking fireworks display. You can change the camera’s viewpoint for incredible replays, stop time to enjoy the show, add different effects, and more. In addition to the single-player mode, a replay mode is also available. In PlayStation VR2, you catch fireworks by aiming at them and pulling the trigger, and shoot them with the Circle button.

You can also catch fireworks of different colors at the same time by using Wild Fireworks and shoot them with Daisy Chain, which combines multiple colors, and collect items to start the bonus mode Starmine. The basic goal of the game is to catch at least three fireworks of the same color and shoot them into the night sky. With its simple yet addictive gameplay, it won’t take long for you to master the controls. The PlayStation VR2 headset and PlayStation VR2 Sense controller provides an immersive experience for you to fill the star-studded sky with sparkling fireworks. The game is an artistic combination of action, shooting, strategy, and puzzles. The game returns in an all-new title for PlayStation VR2 powered by the Unreal Engine. Originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2000, Fantavision is a puzzle game based on the theme of fireworks. Here are some additional details, via PlayStation Blog:
