Sometimes it s nice to just put aside the big, fancy, epic quest, the sophisticated and even fancier gameplay, to just have a character to move around the screen who can blast the tar out of bad guys while taking a few swings at them for good measure. That s just how it is in Cannon Spike for the Dreamcast.
Players can just sit down, hit the on button, and dive right in, no problem.
It s a simple, brief experience, but definitely makes for a nice ride. They re more like areas really. An entire stage will take place in a small jungle canyon, or on a half-collapsed bridge, or at the entrance of an arctic military instillation. That s just fine and dandy though because the fun comes in whipping out your guns and leveling all the enemies that come at you while punching out the tougher enemies that need a little more encouragement to stay down. It s a very simple setup with some Health, extra Hit Point Bars, and more Supers to keep the super move supply as full as possible.
