Genre: Shoot 'Em Up
Expendable joins the ranks of Incoming and Hostile Waters in Rage's line up of visually beautiful titles, pushing the boundaries of 3D-accelerator technology to new limits.
You play a space marine who is dropped in to a series of unfamiliar alien worlds to fight for the survival of your race with a huge arsenal of apocalyptic weapons at your disposal. The ability of the game engine to freely mix outdoor and indoor environments (such as tunnels, underground bases, ruined cities etc.) creates a beautiful world for the player to explore and destroy! Within these worlds, there is a high level of detail present, blended with some truly stunning on-screen explosions. And what better way to demonstrate this than to make the game compatible with a force feedback joystick. There are 17 levels of destructive action for you to progress through with your very own expandable, genetically developed soldier. Thankfully, Rage have made Expendable accessible to players with low-end PC, but owners of high-end PC’s will reek the benefits of 3D acceleration.
So, Expendable is a great title with some fascinating on-screen action, and a demented story line. I suppose that’s good enough, right?
