After reading an issue of EGM that gave Expendable a good score, I decided to give it a go and purchaed it (along w/4 other games) day of Dreamcast launch. While I would have preferred to have Blitz 2000 right now, Expendable is a great game in the reins of Ikari Warriors (but much better!)

-GRAPHICS (6.0): The graphics are good, with lots of explosions happening all over the place, but sometimes your guy gets caught in the mess and you can't see him

-CONTROL (8.5): I hate the Dreamcast controller, and this is as good as it is going to get in terms of control on DReamcast with the regular controller.

-GAMEPLAY (9.5): Expendable is really a great game!!! It is like Contra but features some new innovations. Of course there are lots of power ups, but thats to be expected. Great game that finally shows that the Dreamcast could make good games to accompany pretty graphics!!

-FUN FACTOR (7.5): There is no lack of Dreamcast games out there. Unless you're a hardcore shooter fan, stay away but otherwise, get Expendable today!!
