A great Touhou game; not much to say aside from that it's a fun addition to the series with some great stages and fantastic music, but almost every installment has these things. Unfortunately, the lives system isn't great. It forces you into playing with only 3 lives, and continues to boot you back to the beginning of the level rather than where you were, but you get an infinite amount. This sometimes numbs some parts, particularly the final stage, which is much harder than the rest of this game. But aside from how hard the final stage is? This installment is fantastic in every other aspect.
