Very good graphics and good music, but a really dull game with overcomplicated level designs (the backtracking was a really poor gameplay decision) and no imagination at any point. Wings of Death is better in every department, and only a year later.

Great Game, Worth the play time

absolutely one of the best shoot 'em ups on the 16bits. Brilliant fun. 10/10 imho

It is a nice shooter but I always felt it was overrated.

I personally prefer the first part but Xenon II is still a nice game.

Almost forgot, well I did! Excellent music too, I actually prefer this one over the Amiga version.

Played this one with my brother for about 12 hours non-stop. Classic game by the Bitmap Brothers.

Terrible game that was hyped into the stratosphere back in the day but had really mediocre gameplay and uninspired level design

Wings of Death, Gemini Wing, Flying Shark, and even the original Xenon were much better shmups
