IGN Reviews: Moto Roader and Xevious (VC)

Moto Roader is probably the least notable game to hit the Virtual Console so far. It's a mental throwback to an earlier era of racing games, a simpler time that is probably better left in the past for the frustrations of its control scheme. This game just doesn't have the nostalgia factor needed to forgive its failings in handling, and though playing with up to four friends is fun, they'll probably be wanting you to turn this one off and fire up Bomberman instead after just a few laps. Not recommended.
Score: 6.0

Xevious came to the Game Boy Advance a few years ago as part of the Classic NES Series, and gamers who were skilled enough to score silver medals in every mission found that it was also an unlockable extra in the Namco-developed GameCube game Star Fox Assault. Here on the Wii it's priced at the standard 500 points, and it clocks it at a general rating of "fair" on the scale of worthiness of purchase. Fans of Namco specifically may want to support this download, though, for another reason – it's the first game to hit the VC from the company, and good sales numbers on Xevious may mean more goods from the House of Pac in the future.
