Your fighter jet can engage ground and air targets simultaneously. This game is pure adrenaline.
If you played the game back in 1982, you would have loved the fast, paced action of the arcade version. Today, most gamers may take it for granted, so the original appeal of the game may be lost. Nevertheless, 3D Classics: Xevious is still as breathtaking as the original. The new version sports brand new graphics that enthrall the player. The developers have spent a lot of time making the game as neat as possible, leaving you with an end product that has been polished and no room for real criticism.
