I'm back and ready to review a game! What game am I going to review today? Xevious? Ah cool. I always wondered how to pronounce the name Xevious. Really. I used to say x evious until I found out it's zevious. Huh. For some reason many games like this had names that started with x. I wonder what it means in Japanese. Oh well. I should start the review now shouldn't I? Yeah. I think I got carried away there. Anyway this is Xevious! Xevious is a smup. (Shoot em up game) It's real basic. You go around going pew pew! Shooting enemy ships! Well. That's not ALL you do. Let's dig a bit deeper shall we?

Game play: So as I said before, Xevious is a smup. You need to shoot enemy ships down with your lazer's that are attached to your ship. ( Yes I know that lazer's is spelled laser's but lazer's looks cooler! :3 and lazer makes more sense then laser. It's pronounced laZer!) There are also ground enemy's! This was a very cool and original idea to implement into the game! It had made for some very challenging game play! Most normal enemy's will just fly around you or shoot you. Ground enemy's are much of the same. To take out these ground enemy's you must use bombs instead of your lazer's. Very cool game mechanic. Some bosses also require you to use bombs as well.

Story: Humans are trying to find aliens! But they found out that aliens are humans as well oddly enough. They said they want their planet back and are now in a large battle. It's mankind vs mankind! Who will win? Er... it's more like mankind vs small tiny spaceship. Well. All I can say is: Good luck!

Addictiv- You know what? Screw spelling the whole word. I would play this game again. It's very challenging (don't worry were getting to that.) and the game play was so well done that it keeps me coming back. I really recommend trying this game out. (I don't think I can count that as a paragraph.)

Difficulty: Yeah! The difficulty in this game is brutal. This is megaman hard! Really! The game is cruel. Enemy's are coming from every part of the screen shooting at you whistle enemy's on the ground just sit there and shoot every once in a while! This game is hard. And I just can't seem to stretch that fact enough.


Graphics: The graphics are decent for the nes. Everything looks like what their supp- OH GOD ARE THOSE FLOATING RINGS? OH AND LOOK OVER THERE! GIANT FRYING PANS THAT CAN'T BE DESTROYED! I have no clue where the artist's for this game got these idea's for enemy's! It makes no sense! But then again. The game is supposed to be futuristic so I'll let it pass.

Sound: haha! Yeah sound. For music you have this annoying 3 second track that keeps looping. It's like Wayne's world on the nes! Sound effects are pretty good though. It's very satisfying to shoot something. Sound is ok but that "song" Ergh!

Overall... I give the game a 9.4. It was revolutionary for the time but it did not age too well. It's still fun to play though. Welp see ya! Ciao! 

I like the humor. I truly believe that gamer people will stop reading if there isn't at least one funny part in a review. Gamers wanna be entertained? One compliment gets one criticism. Here it is, your overall score is funky. Do it however you like but to find the average of all the sub-ratings that you entered...6+3+10+5+5+10=39 divided by 6=6.5 overall. Keep em coming.

Good review! 

This is one of the games I used to play all the time when kid. And even though it wasn't that exciting... It had something that always led me to keep playing. Don't know why.

Anyways, Keep it up, man.
