[RSS Bot]

Xybots is a shooter on the Lynx with similarities to Faceball 2000 for the Game Boy, which is way better even though it's in black & white. Xybots should have had an ever-forward-facing character (if the Game Boy could do it, surely the Lynx could have), but in Xybots, in order to turn, you have to press B and the direction you want to turn at the same time. This can get very disorienting, and not a very good control scheme. A is for shooting. That's the one good thing, the shooting responds well. I would have given this a thumbs up, but the awkward button pushing to make your character face the right way thing is just too annoying. That, and the things in even level 3 are hard to shoot at. I give this game a at best.
