This game rocks if you like contra you'll like this it is just run and gun and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to play. Go get it now! And it seems like a unofficial Contra sequel

Does anyone else smell garbage?

The game play is weak, with all the explosions and lights going off its almost impossible to keep track of your character on the screen. I heard this game was comparable to Contra witch I loved. I was lied to. This game looks like something off of the original NES got a graphical makeover and nothing more. And the replay value is zip. Its the same bad guys in the same spots over and over, no artificial intelegence to speak of. Theres bad camera angles, bad transitions from screen to screen. It goes on and on and on.

I enjoyed this game

This game isn't mindless! I completed it (after many long hours) and I was only able to do so by using my mind and trying to figure out how to destroy the enemy without losing all of my men. You have to have cunning and daring or else your dead. Basically, it's like guerrilla warfare. The graphics in this one are really great.

But this game really hits home that war sucks. You see that a solder really is expendable. You have to be in order to win. However, its a great game to relieve some stress.

Instant Action with minimal learning curve!

This is coming from the perspective of a 35-year-old who probably shouldn't be playing games but still enjoys shooting up a few aliens after a hard day at work. I love this game! Action, lots of shooting and you don't need to spend too much time reading the manual or listening to the game tell some flippin' story in Japanese Anime-style drama. Just get me to the fighting and let me shoot, throw grenades and see if I can accomplish my mission.... getting to the next level. Thanks.

This game is aptly titled!

Expendable is the name of the game. So I played it once and threw it in the trash. I couldn't even give it away... Nobody wanted to suffer through the pile of garbage for the whole 20 minutes that I did. The graphics are very good and over the top(but WAY too small). The sound is pretty good too. Then you actually sit down to play this boring waste and it hits you... All you do is walk around killing the same three enemies and finding the key to the next door. Hey! It's Doom in a top down perspective! That's exactly what it is. Don't buy this one, even if it's the only game left to complete your collection of DC games. This ain't Pokemon, you don't have to catch them all. You definetly don't have to catch this one. Pass it on by.

Only get the game if you enjoy shooting and blasting everything in sight. Great graphics, sound, and gameplay. Single player don't have much replay value, but playing with a friend is very fun, especially after a day of hard work!

Boring

I think this game, Expendable, was a waste of time basically and had the same plot as I continued to play it. You walk around and kill aliends that are trying to take over all the planets that humans live in. I do like some of the weapons that are avalable throughout the game but I don't like the view it gives you. I think it's an overall hard game to play esspecially certain bosses but after awhile you just get tired of constant action and shooting and mindless killing. It doesn't any good movies in the game either.

Too Cool!

The only way I can tell I'm not at the arcade playing this game is that I'm sitting down. Great graphics and incredibly fast game play make for one great game. This game definitely makes use of the Sega Dreamcasts graphics potential. It's not so hard that you give up in frustration, but not so easy that you'll beat it in the first day. This is one of the better Sega Dreamcast games.

Pretty good game...tons of mindless fun!

This is your basic mindless shooter, reminiscent of such classics as Ikari Warriors and Loaded (for the Playstation). An excellent change of pace from many of today's games, which are sometimes over-complicated (not that there's anything wrong with that either). Two-player cooperative play is extra fun.

Two not-so-minor things that keep this from being a five-star game. First, the characters (you and enemies) are too small...often times it is hard to determine exactly where you are on the screen. Second, in the two-player mode, your characters are hard to distinguish from each other. This leads to additional confusion, especially given the first problem I mentioned above.

Still, this is a very fun game, easy to pick up and play, and the graphics are excellent if perhaps a bit too overwhelming.

Far from awesome

This game should off never been made.They probbably spend 15 minutes during a coffe brake to make this game. The graphics and gameplay do not surpass that of any Gameboy game. The gameplay is haulted by unrealistic amount of fire power.Contra for the NES was a better game than this one. Dreamcast did a lousy job releasing this game.Whatever you do , do not waste your money on this game. You would have more fun sending me the cost of the game then actually playing it.
