I liked Xenon - I played it on the Atari ST though and I seem to recall it had some impressive stuff in there for the time (digitised speech and video).
I would not describe it as shit or unplayable.
Xenon 2 though is a different story, marketed to death and bigged up to the fucking eye balls, for the game I hate just about everything about it.
music,
graphics,
game play,
hate the font,
collision detection,
multi-hit enemies that no shooter should ever have,
scrolling,
refresh rate.... I could go on...
A stain on the Amiga catalogue of games in my opinion.
There is nothing worse in a shooter where enemies take an age to destroy, with the exception being end of level / mid level bosses.
