Expendable for Dreamcast

Pros: Blowing stuff up
Cons: The game itself blows

Back in the old days, before PlayStation, before Xbox, and in the era when Sega and Nintendo ruled t ...

Pros: Looks ok, mindless fun.
Cons: Gets boring quicker than other mindless games, bad control.

I don't think I'm going to be able to come up with any cool anecdotes or metaphors for this review, just straight up reviewing goodness. Expendable is one of those games you're going to pop into your DC when you feel like playing video games for about...

Pros: good sound effects, plenty of enemies
Cons: people too small, horrible controls for the situation

Aside from the Contra series, the last great shoot-em-up game that did not let you control a vehicle of some sort was Apocalypse. The game was shown in a 3D world and you were able to shoot in any direction while moving in any direction. Strafing was...

Pros: Lots of levels and shooting
Cons: How many levels and shooting does one really need?

Ikari Warriors was an incredibly popular arcade/Nintendo game back in the late '80s. It consisted of 2 soldiers moving vertically across many maps shooting many people. Expendable plays much like this just with update graphics and many, many more...

Pros: shooters of this nature
Cons: space-marine

Consider yourself expendable. Disposable. Easily replaced. As the protagonist of Rage Games' newest eye-melting ammo-fest, it is up to you to shoot everything in sight and, hopefully, not get destroyed in the process. Not a cheerful premise, no matter...

Pros: graphics and first few times of gameplay
Cons: control two player mode and shear frustration of long gameplay

This game is very good and very bad in ways. First of the graphics are really good. The lighting effects are some of the best I Have ever seen. The gameplay is old school shoot em up style for a quick fix of fun at first. Then comes the bad. The two...

Pros: Contra fans may like it
Cons: graphics, reptitive gamplay

When Infrogames announced that it was bringing Expendable Stateside, I was eager to see if this Conra-type game would be a true homage to action gorefests of yore or just another disappointment in a long line of Contra knock-offs.

There are...

Pros: Cool guns, pretty good graphics, kinda fun two-player
Cons: Controls suck, game gets old, tried to copy contra but failed.

When my friend got expendable, I was expecting a game like contra, but when I played it, it didn't do it for me. It was fun, but confusing. Everything's so dark, and on two player mode, it's hard to tell who is who, so you sit there thinking your...

Pros: 2-player,if it moves kill it,fast past fun
Cons: it get old, no story-line,and the potential just holds so much more

One of Sega's newest titles for the Dreamcast is contra oops i mean Expendable. in many ways is is like contra. Remember the good 'ole days of contra and contra 2...ah the memories....then came Super contra for supre nes which was alright but lost it's...

Pros: The ultimate in carnage and destruction, great music.
Cons: at times carnage a little distracting

In the 80's when Contra for the Nes came out, I was one of the first to play it. In fact it was my first "Real" video game i had ever played, not including games like pong or pac man. I was amazed and awed by that Contra, and i played it...

Pros: Good old-fashioned blast-em-up
Cons: Doesn't stand out in ANY way

If you're looking for a game that does nothing more than exercise your ability to hit a button as quickly as possible and cause as much destruction as possible, look no further. If you're looking for a stimulating action game that taxes a little of your...

Pros: Lightning effects
Cons: Everything else

Me and my friend went to our local video game store to buy 2 video games. It was about a week after DreamCast came out and there weren't that much games around. We bought Soul Calibur and Expendable. I loaded my legal copy of Expendable and the Intro...

Pros: Good graphics, Fun gameplay
Cons: Controls are horrible

Expendable: New Age Contra?

When I first got this I thought it would be like the old Contra games! But it wasnt exactly like them. What I liked about it was that it had many different weapons and was like Contra, where you run around...

Pros: It's different, So-So Graphics
Cons: Very difficult to control

This game makes me very frustrated. I played it and I got sick of it right away. First it was hard to shoot anyone else cause you were always just a little bit off and adjustments to your position that were meant to be minute got really big. Then the...

Pros: Great 2 player mode, great graphics
Cons: Hard to tell what your doing at times

Expendable is a great game for those gamers that love to run around, kill people, and blow things up. If you're not into that, this probably won't be your favorite game. On the plus side it has great graphics and the two-player mode is excellent. On...
