 P.N.03 is a science fiction @-@ themed third @-@ person shooter , released in Japan on March 27 , 2003 . The game features a dexterous protagonist named Vanessa Z. Schneider who battles an army of maverick robots . The game earned the name Jaguar during development due to Vanessa 's fluid motions and agility . Acting as director , Mikami attempted to differentiate it from Devil May Cry by adding defensive and evasive maneuvers . This desire , combined with the limited development time , also led to the replacement of Vanessa 's guns with energy bolts . Upon its release , reviewers criticized the game 's short length and sluggish controls , with an average score of 63 out of 100 on Metacritic . Mikami was unsatisfied with the finished product , stating he had hoped to put " a lot more " time into its development . P.N.03 was the only game of the five that remained a GameCube exclusive .
