A game many will be surprised to be on this list, but it happens to be one of the best. [Summer 2004, p.15]
This shooter is absolutey brilliant, literally offering a layer of depth rarely seen in this genre. [Aug 2004, p.61]
Without a doubt, a prized old-school shooter that stacks up against "Gradius" and others with great fortitude. Though simple, the game is some of the most fun $20.00 can net you.
The auto-fire element does kind of suck and takes away a bit of the game's fun and challenge, so if you pick up this game...just don't hold the button down. You'll have a lot more fun with it.
The lack of power-ups and somewhat generic level design makes it pale in comparison to some other fine shooters on the NES ("Life Force" & "Guardian Legend" for example), but this was one of the first shooters on the system and it's still worth playing.
Xevious is certainly a classic game, but it's a classic <I>arcade</I> game, not a classic NES game.
Unfortunately it sounds like a wristwatch alarm. After an hour or so of playing Xevious, staring at your watch will seem like a refreshing change of pace.
