Charge 'N Blast

A good game on basically all accounts, Charge 'N Blast brings adreline-pumping, arcade-style insanity back to the Dreamcast.

It's a well done arcade shooter and the perfect game to toss in when you have some time to kill.

What's there is actually a good deal of fun, but it wouldn't be an understatement to say that you can finish the game in an afternoon, and for most gamers that just won't cut it.

Spastic action, beautiful graphics and robotic sound effects do not a classic make.

If the length of this Review were to reflect the actual amount of time it takes to get through Charge 'N Blast in its entirety, it wouldn't be long-enough to fill a Wendy's work application form. Short length! Linearity!

On average, a single level doesn't take more than three minutes to finish, and with that in mind, it doesn't take long to factor in that the title doesn't have much longevity...Once you've gone through once, you have done it all.

Easily the biggest problem with Charge 'N Blast is that it has zero replay value. The only thing that was added to the home version was a Time Attack mode where you can see how fast you can make it through each level. Wow, I'm excited.
