At some points in the game, the entire screen looks like one big explosion. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. Maybe it'd be fun if you didn't spend so much time swearing about the controls, but the fact that you can't even shoot up aliens properly pretty much ruins the entire game. Besides shooting aliens, you've got to occasionally find keys and blow stuff up. There are eighteen weapons, but nothing special or memorable.
Replay value is almost nil.
Two-player mode is worthless, and after blasting through a particular level you'll have absolutely no reason to revisit it again. Actually, there's not much incentive to finish levels the first time around, I was bored out of my mind by the fifth level. Expendable has the depth of a wading pool, and the control of a three-year old who just ate a month's supply Sugar Pops. Even I, a die-hard fan of shoot 'em ups of all shapes and sizes, couldn't find much to like about Expendable. Gameplay is boring, controls are horrible, camera has occasional crack fits, graphics are small, effects too distracting, no replay value.
