Warning: DO NOT BUY!

This is quite possibly the worst video game in the entire history of video games. There is NO plot and the graphics leave much to be desired. There really is no point to the game. The levels are dull with no real excitement. As soon as I started playing I felt compelled to turn it off and demand that I get my money back. It is about a bunch of construction vehicles. NOT THAT EXCITING! I have had more fun staring at walls than I had playing this game (not that I stare at walls too often). If you purchase this game, return it immediately from whence it came. They should have to pay the customer to play it. It's that bad.

And the Object of the Game Is?

This game is extremely confusing for my 6 year old son and also for my 27 year son who is an excellent gamer who can master any game. He did not find it interesting enough to even try and figure it out. Instructions are vague and no help at all. There is no purpose to this game and what do you do when you get to where you are suppose to be? Wasted my money on this one.

BLOW STUFF UP!

If you like blowing stuff up, this game is for you. Control a variety of construction (or destruction) vehicles to clear the way for a leaking nuclear tanker. Ok, so maybe the plot leaves a little to be desired, but the action and strategy will bring you back again and again. One of my favorite features of this game (designers take note) is that the game teaches you how to play in the first few levels. Some of the later levels are a little harder than I think they needed to be, but the bonus levels and hidden secrets give it a good amount of replay value.

Not for everybody

THIS IS NOT A GAME FOR INEXPERIENCED GAMERS! My little brother couldn't figure this game out for his life. However, I am an experienced gamer (I've been glued to my TV ever since I got my NES back in '88), and I liked this game a lot once I got the hang of it.

Here's the story: There is a truck carrying nuclear devices, and it is supposed to be on a set course that cannot be changed. However, the truck is now off-course, and its direction can't be changed (oops). If it hits anything, the nukes will explode. It's your duty to clear the path for this thing and prevent it from blowing up. To do this, you have all sorts of vehicles and 40 foot robots and such. So basically, your job is to destroy everything in this truck's path.

This sounds like it would be very boring and repetetive, right? WRONG! All of the vehicles have their strenghts and weaknesses, and you must master using all of them in order to beat the game. Also, there are some strategy elements in this game, since some parts of the level may be inaccessable to certain vehicles, so you have to use the right vehicles at the right time. There's also parts where you have to move stuff around in just the right order for everything to work out. You've heard the expression ''there's more than one way to skin a cat.'' Well, there's more than one way for a truck full of nukes to blow up, and there's more than one way to clear its path (just make sure you use the right one on the right level ;)).

You get a medal for beating each level, how good you do determines how good of a medal you get. This adds to the replay value, which is important because this game is a little short (I said a LITTLE short). The last levels are kind of cool, they don't even take place on Earth...

If you are an experienced gamer that is looking for something new, at least rent this game. I don't think there has ever been a game like this, and it provides good challenge. Those guys at Rareware are geniuses!

I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could...

Why the bad reviews?

This is a heck of a game. The plot, which I felt was pretty creative, concerns a runaway truck carrying a nuclear weapon moving across the world. Your team of expert demolitionists go into various cities with the intent of clearing a path for the weapon. You get to ride around in many vehicles, including a bulldozer, a train, a couple of "Mech"-type robots, and even muscle cars. There are tons of missions and bonus missions, which inevitable lead you to missions on other planets! This game has a fantastic sense of tension, as you will often find yourself trying to knock down buildings seconds before the nuclear truck runs into them. Excellent game!

cool game

Blast Corps is the only game I've ever played where all you do is destroy buildings. I enjoyed most of the game except for a few parts. After getting past about half of the game, it started getting confusing. Especially the level where you have to get in the crane and use it to destroy the buildings. You have to ride a train to even get there on time. Another bad part is running out of ammo on the motorcycle destruction stage when you need it the most. That shows that this game is real challenging even if you're a veteran gamer and can beat most of the games you've played. But other than that, I really can't complain any about Blast Corps. I thought side swiping through buildings with a dumptruck and using a huge robot to stomp on buildings was pretty cool. The game also had some of the most realistic graphics I have seen even up to now. When you hop on the train to take a shortcut, the train couldn't look more real. The sound and music went good with the game and most parts of the game are fun. Another drawback might be that after you get so far in the game, you just get tired of playing it and think you can't get no further cause even after you figure out what to do, it's still just as much of a barrier to overcome.

If you like just trashing buildings and doing a bunch of reckless driving, I'd definitely recommend getting this game.

Do not rent this game. It is (A) a waste of three bucks, (B) a horrible game, and (C) you can't win! What the heck is the object of the game? There's nothing to do! You complete objectives and then... what? don't rent this game, rent GOLDENEYE 007--- IT'S AWESOME!

This is one of the best games I have ever played period! I noticed a lot of the reviews claim the game lacks substance and "all you do is blow up buildings". This is hardly the case. Also, many complain that younger kids can't pick the game up and lose interest. I understand that younger players may have a tough time completing the more difficult levels as well as finding the secrets in this game. However, I believe this is the problem with the Nintendo 64. WAY TOO MANY games are made for kids while adults grow bored quickly with them. The best example I can think of is Mario Kart 64 one of the very first games sold for the N64. While the original Mario Kart for the SNES Rocked, the N64 version was an absolute joke! Every time you get in front of the person you are playing against, the computer gives the person in back more speed and WAY too much of an advantage with weapons. The earlier version had some computer assistance but the N64 version of computer assistance ruined the game for me and my friends. I'm sure Nintendo was thinking this advantage given to the player in back would make the game more fun and closer. All I asked for was the option to DISABLE computer assistance! The lack of games with substance like Blast Corps is what ruined the Nintendo 64 and made it the biggest flop in gaming history!

Eww
