    My only gripe with this game applies to all of the 3D Classics titles, and that's the lack of an online leaderboard.

    Xevious is still a game design that's nearly 30 years old, so all the new bells and whistles in the world won't be enough to get some modern fans interested in this old classic again. But the 3D Classics upgrades have made me more of a fan of it than I ever was before, and that's certainly enough for me to recommend you all give it a try too.

The game is not easy however, one shot to your craft is enough to take it down and lose a life and you are usually bombarded with a large amount of enemy fire. A high score table and control editing is available in the improved menu interface. There is also an interrupt save feature so you can quit in the middle of a game and return to it in the exact location you left off. The 3D effect gives the game a sense of depth and makes it far easier to judge differences from threats in the air and on the ground. If you are a fan of classic spaceship shoot em' ups and/or difficult games, take a look.… Full Review »

There are some games that are worth bringing back from the annals of history but this one doesn't manage to cut it unless you're a very big fan of retro games.… Full Review »
