While not my preferred Namco space shooter (or land shooter I guess, in this case), I can see why Xevious was appealing. It's your average shooter, shooting down the bad guys, taking on bosses, and even bombing structures down below for some additional challenge. It is pretty good, and can last a good while, but if you are asking me, I would prefer to just stick with Galaga any day of the week.
